"Two of Gisele Bundchen's exes…": Fans lose it as Tom Brady parties with Leonardo DiCaprio on a luxury yacht in St. Barts amid Alix Earle buzz

Amid the Alix Earle buzz, Tom Brady slipped straight into full Hollywood mode to kick off 2026. The retired NFL legend may no longer be throwing touchdowns, but his New Year’s appearances continue to grab attention just as fast. This time, it wasn’t a football moment that set social media talking, but a luxury yacht, a famous actor, and a tropical backdrop.
As fans were still dissecting a viral New Year’s Eve clip involving Brady and influencer Alix Earle, fresh photos surfaced from St. Barts that added more fuel to fire. Brady was spotted spending New Year’s Day on a yacht alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, instantly pulling the seven-time Super Bowl champion back into the pop culture spotlight.

Tom Brady parties with Leonardo DiCaprio in true Hollywood style

Photos from Thursday showed Brady, 48, relaxing on the yacht with DiCaprio, 51, and the actor’s 27-year-old girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. Brady wore a green shirt and white hat, keeping things casual for the holiday outing. DiCaprio matched the laid-back look in a white shirt and white hat, while Ceretti stood out in a bikini as the group enjoyed the day on the water.
This was not the first time Brady and DiCaprio have crossed paths socially. The two were previously seen partying together in Miami back in 2023.
The timing of the yacht photos mattered. Just hours earlier, Brady had been at a New Year’s Eve party in the same area, where he was seen spending time with Alix Earle, 25. Videos shared online showed the pair chatting closely and touching each other’s backs during another yacht party, quickly sending fans into speculation mode. Earle, however, was not seen in any of the photos from the Jan. 1 yacht outing with DiCaprio.
As the clips went viral on social media, fans were quick to spot an old Hollywood link that added fuel to the chatter. Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, famously dated Leonardo DiCaprio from 2000 to 2005. So when Brady and DiCaprio were seen partying together, many called it a full-circle moment and couldn’t stop drawing comparisons online.
Brady’s St. Barts getaway comes four years after his October 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen following their 13-year partnership. It also comes just before he returns to work mode. The Fox Sports analyst is set to call the Bears’ home game against the Lions in Week 18 alongside Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews. With NBC airing this year’s Super Bowl, the NFC Championship game on Jan. 25 will be the final broadcast Brady calls this season.
