Tom Brady, the legendary football icon, is opening up about the priorities that define his life outside the spotlight.

In an interview with People magazine on January 14, Brady, now 48, candidly discussed his hectic schedule and his unwavering dedication to his family. “I don’t have much time for a personal life or myself, but I love working, and I adore my kids,” he revealed. Brady expressed his passion for staying engaged with exciting projects and collaborating with impactful teams. “I enjoy being busy and find fulfillment in the things I do,” he added, hinting at several intriguing ventures he’s currently involved in.

Recently, Brady’s personal life has drawn public interest following his appearance at a New Year’s Eve bash in St. Barts. The party, hosted by Palm Tree Crew, saw Brady celebrating alongside social media influencer Alix Earle. The sighting fueled speculation about their relationship status.

However, despite the buzz surrounding their New Year’s Eve outing, neither Brady nor Earle has publicly commented on the nature of their association. An insider exclusively informed Us Weekly that there is “nothing serious” between the two, quelling rumors of a budding romance.

The pairing of Alix Earle and Tom Brady, particularly the age difference, has sparked conversations among fans and celebrities alike. According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly on January 2, “Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve, enjoying the festivities at the Palm Tree Crew’s event in St. Barts.” This connection has left many pondering the potential dynamics of their relationship.

“They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection,” the insider said. “[Alix is] just having fun right now and letting loose.”

Dating rumors aside, Brady said he is focused on making more memories with his family. The Super Bowl champion shares Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. He’s also dad to Jack, 18, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

“My oldest is 18. But seeing him thrive and grow, and there’s nothing greater for a parent when you’re seeing your kids do well,” he shared in his latest interview. “I’m so blessed in so many parts of my life.”

Brady’s 2026 is certainly just getting started. The Fox NFL announcer stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 13, to celebrate the launch of Fanatics Studios.

While at the star-studded event, Brady revealed details about the first Fanatics Flag Football Classic, taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this March.

The former New England Patriots player will be captain of the “Founders,” while Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will be captain for the “Wildcats.” The third team, “Mustangs,” will have a captain announced at a later date.

TikTok star Alix Earle was hopeful to bring good energy into 2026 — even before she rang in the New Year with Tom Brady. “Get ready with me for New Year’s Eve in St. Bart’s,” Earle, 25, said in a Wednesday, December 31, TikTok video. “We’ve been staying on a boat with friends, but we’re […]

When teasing his flag football debut, Brady hinted that he could be part of Team USA when flag football makes its debut at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

“Maybe, just maybe, there’s a small chance that, if it goes well, we’ll see what happens in the Olympics,” he told the audience.

Right now, Brady is focused on the 2026 NFL playoffs.

Brady, alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, covered the NFC wild card showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, January 11.

Alix Earle’s dad, Thomas “TJ” Earle, is making a joke about Tom Brady after the influencer was spotted cozying up to the former NFL star. A TikTok video shared by TJ’s wife, Ashley Earle, showed her getting ready while wearing a blue velvet blazer — which was previously TJ’s clothing. “I actually got that jacket […]

According to Fox, the match-up emerged as the most-watched wildcard game on any network since 2022.

“I had a coach who’d say ‘We could do better’ 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂” Brady wrote via his Instagram Story on Tuesday when reacting to the winning numbers.

The next NFL playoff game on Fox is the NFC Divisional Round game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, January 17.
