Alix Earle seemingly referenced her dating preferences in a new interview, months after rumors linked her to NFL star Tom Brady.
Speaking on a recent episode of her YouTube series Get real with methe 25-year-old influencer discussed relationships and her attraction to older men, without directly confirming a specific romance.
“As you get older, you realize that people aren’t supposed to behave that way,” says fellow influencer Quenlin Blackwell, also 25, who later added: “I don’t date guys my age.”
Earle then admitted that she had recently tried dating someone closer to her own age, but said the experience didn’t work out for her.
“I had a date with a man a year older than me. I can’t do it again,” Earle said. “That never happens.”
“Did you feel like you were mothering?” Blackwell asked if Earle was courting a man in her age range.
Earle agreed that the dynamic didn’t feel right and suggested that she prefers partners who feel more grounded and experienced.
“It didn’t feel like I was with a man,” she said, before admitting that she wanted “someone to take care of.” [her].”
She also joked that her preference for older men sometimes goes too far in the opposite direction, jokingly adding that she ends up thinking “grandpa” when the age difference becomes too much.
Despite this, she said she values trust, life experience and emotional stability in a partner.
Earle recently reunited with ex-boyfriend Braxton Berrios, with whom she previously had a two-year relationship that ended in late 2025.
Before that, Earle was linked to Brady after they were spotted together at several major events, including a New Year’s Eve gathering in St. Barths and Super Bowl weekend earlier this year.
Reports at the time indicated that the two had been casually involved, although neither publicly confirmed a relationship. Earle and Brady haven’t been seen together lately.
