Alix Earle's dad is making light of the Tom Brady rumors after his daughter was spotted with the former NFL quarterback on New Year's Eve.
On Monday, January 5, the social media influencer and "Dancing With The Star's" alum's stepmother, Ashley Earle, shared a video on TikTok of herself getting ready, while rocking a blue velvet blazer that used to belong to her husband, Thomas "TJ" Earle.
“I actually got that jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that,” TJ said in the clip, to which Ashley replied, “Are you joking?”
“I swear to God," TJ quickly responded.
Ashley didn't lean into the joke any further but did warn her husband that she wasn't "cutting" the comment out of her TikTok.
"The Tom Brady Joke LOL," one user commented on the video, to which Ashley responded, "This guy lol."

Inside Alix Earle and Tom Brady's romance rumors
Rumors of potential romance started swirling last week after Earle, 25, was spotted partying alongside Brady, 48, at a St. Barts nightclub on New Year's Eve.
While in St. Barts, Earle also spent time with Miles Teller's wife, Kaleigh Teller, and "Landman" actress Michelle Randolph.
In a video obtained by "TMZ," Earle, a marketing graduate from the University of Miami, was seen rubbing the seven-time Super Bowl champion's back and whispering in his ear.
“Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source told "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.”

Despite the rumors, the source says Alix, who split from Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios a few weeks ago, isn't looking for anything serious right now.
"It’s nothing serious between her and Tom,” the source dished. “They were together laughing, dancing and partying, enjoying themselves.”
Neither Earle and Brady haven't addressed on the rumors, but Earle appeared to lean into the buzz on Sunday, Jan. 4, when she shared a cryptic Instagram post while rocking a fiery red bikini.
"Rumor has it we're still dancing," Earle wrote, adding, "new friends, new memories, and new beginnings to start of the new year:) words can't describe how amazing this trip was."
