Barths on December 31, 2025. Sources who spoke to Us Weekly in early 2026 described the dynamic as purely situational.

Two sentences and a shrug, and yet it is the most direct thing Earle has said publicly about Brady since the rumor mill started spinning at a New Year’s Eve party in St. By the Monday after the Super Bowl, a source told People the pair were “hooking up. Another insider told TMZ there was “definitely” romantic chemistry between them. But neither Earle nor Brady said a word. Earle showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March and told Entertainment Tonight she was hoping to “get someone’s number” at the event, which read, at the time, like she was moving on. “They are hooking up, but it’s not serious,” one insider said, framing it as a “when we’re in the same city” arrangement with no labels and no pressure on either side.

That is it. The two were spotted chatting and dancing together. She wasn’t entirely wrong, but the Brady chapter was not yet closed.

Earle broke up with NFL player Braxton Berrios in December 2025 after more than two years together, citing distance and fading communication. Brady, 48, is managing media commitments, business interests, and fatherhood. That makes sense when you look at where both of them actually are in life. Neither person is carving out space for something serious right now.
