Tom Brady is shining a light on what matters most in his personal life.
“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” Brady, 48, shared with People in an interview published on Wednesday, January 14. “I like to be busy and try to really stay fulfilled in the things I’m doing, so I’m working on some really cool projects and I’m involved with some great teams of people that are doing some really positive things.”
The former NFL quarterback’s personal life was recently put under the microscope when he was spotted celebrating New Year’s Eve with Alix Earle at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barts.
While neither party has addressed the status of their relationship, a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly that there’s “nothing serious” going on between them.
Alix Earle and Tom Brady’s PDA-filled New Year’s Eve had fans and celebrities alike freaking out over their potential age-gap romance. “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 exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, January 2. […]
“They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection,” the insider said. “[Alix is] just having fun right now and letting loose.”
Dating rumors aside, Brady said he is focused on making more memories with his family. The Super Bowl champion shares Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. He’s also dad to Jack, 18, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
“My oldest is 18. But seeing him thrive and grow, and there’s nothing greater for a parent when you’re seeing your kids do well,” he shared in his latest interview. “I’m so blessed in so many parts of my life.”

Brady’s 2026 is certainly just getting started. The Fox NFL announcer stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 13, to celebrate the launch of Fanatics Studios.
While at the star-studded event, Brady revealed details about the first Fanatics Flag Football Classic, taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this March.
The former New England Patriots player will be captain of the “Founders,” while Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will be captain for the “Wildcats.” The third team, “Mustangs,” will have a captain announced at a later date.
When teasing his flag football debut, Brady hinted that he could be part of Team USA when flag football makes its debut at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
“Maybe, just maybe, there’s a small chance that, if it goes well, we’ll see what happens in the Olympics,” he told the audience.
Right now, Brady is focused on the 2026 NFL playoffs.
Brady, alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, covered the NFC wild card showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, January 11.
According to Fox, the match-up emerged as the most-watched wildcard game on any network since 2022.
“I had a coach who’d say ‘We could do better’ 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂” Brady wrote via his Instagram Story on Tuesday when reacting to the winning numbers.
The next NFL playoff game on Fox is the NFC Divisional Round game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, January 17.
