Tom Brady marked Valentine’s Day by sharing an emotional message to his children, a gesture that notably sidestepped ongoing speculation about a romance with influencer Alix Earle.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has recently been linked to the 25-year-old after the pair were seen getting close at parties around major events, fueling widespread dating rumors.
Despite the chatter, Brady spent the holiday skiing in Switzerland with two of his children, emphasizing family over romance as he posted photos from the trip across his social platforms.
He shares son Benjamin and daughter Vivian with former wife Gisele Bundchen, while his eldest son Jack was born during his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Alongside images of snowy slopes and family activities, Brady expressed affection for all three children, including Jack, who was absent from the trip but featured playing basketball in a separate photo.
“Jack, Benny and Vivi…My forever valentines,” Brady said. “Love you three so much and the awesome adventures we get to share together.
“From the court to the slopes to everywhere in between, you make all my days brighter! Loving these Swiss slopes! Just missing you Jack!”
Fans quickly flooded the comments with references to Earle, asking why she was not mentioned, highlighting how closely his personal life is being scrutinized since his 2022 divorce.
Earle, who recently split from Braxton Berrios, had hinted at a late night of partying before the Super Bowl, posting that she stayed out until early morning hours – which came after she shared an intimate night with Brady on New Year’s Eve.
Brady weighs in on Flag Football ahead of 2028 Olympic Games
While his personal life attracts headlines, Brady has also been preparing for a high-profile international flag football event tied to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, demonstrating his continued influence beyond retirement.
On March 21, he will lead a delegation staging a tournament in Saudi Arabia, featuring current and former NFL players in what organizers hope will elevate the sport’s global profile.
Speaking on Impaulsive with Logan Paul, Brady dismissed the idea that the event would be merely symbolic, insisting the competition will be intense.
“Honestly, this is, like, real football,” Brady recently said in an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast. “This is real competition.”
Paul compared the format to the Pro Bowl, but Brady disagreed, emphasizing that players will approach the contest with full commitment rather than exhibition-style effort.
“I hope people understand the level of competition this game is going to be,” Brady later said online. “If you’re on my team you’re going to be locked in, all out, and we’re going to not just win… but dominate.”
Despite insurance protections, injury risks remain a concern for participating players, particularly those still under contract, illustrating the fine line between promotion and competitive reality.
For Brady, the event represents another chapter in a post-playing career that blends business, broadcasting, and global sports development, even as public fascination with his private life continues unabated.
