Even before Alix Earle's flirty New Year's Eve with Tom Brady, she wasn't afraid of entering into an age-gap relationship. "I don't think there's anything wrong with that age gap," Earle, 25, said on an April 2024 episode of Jake Shane's "Therapuss" podcast, reacting to a 19-year-old fan dating a 47-year-old. "Sometimes I love an old man." Earle further revealed that she went out "with someone who's a little older" when she was in college.
