Alix Earle isn't holding back when it comes to her dating life. In a recent episode of "Get Real with Me," the 25-year-old media sensation revealed her roller-coaster experiences with dating older men. After parting ways with NFL star Braxton Berrios, Alix opened up about how she's "gone too far" with older partners.
During a lively chat with fellow influencer Quenlin Blackwell, Alix shared some eyebrow-raising anecdotes. The episode, which hit YouTube on May 21, saw the duo discussing their dating adventures. Quenlin humorously noted, "As you age, you realize people aren’t supposed to act like that," to which Alix responded with her own tale. "I went on a date with a guy who was a year older than me. I can’t do it again. That’s never happening," she confessed. When Quenlin asked if she felt like she was "mothering," Alix admitted, "It didn’t feel like I was with a man. I want someone to take care of me. But sometimes, I have gone too far, and I’m like Grandpa."

After her split with Berrios, rumors swirled about Alix potentially dating former NFL legend Tom Brady. The two were spotted cozily celebrating New Year's Eve in St. Barths, sparking whispers of romance. A source dished to Us Weekly, "They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them."
The rumored couple's 23-year age difference set tongues wagging, but by March 2026, reports confirmed that Alix and Tom had called it quits. Their last public appearance together was at a pre-Super Bowl party in California in February.
Reflecting on her breakup with Braxton Berrios, Alix expressed that they simply grew apart. "We’re on good terms, and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him," she explained. "This has just been really hard. … It’s not drama. It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t really feel like it was working out, in the moment."
