Rob Gronkowski is offering some advice to longtime teammate Tom Brady as rumors continue to link the retired quarterback to influencer Alix Earle. Gronkowski addressed Brady’s personal life in an interview with Page Six published on April 15, encouraging the seven-time Super Bowl champion to trust his instincts when it comes to dating.
The 36-year-old said, “Just follow your heart, Tom. You know, wherever your heart is leading you, wherever your gut instinct is leading you. Just follow that heart, Tom.”
He added, “Just like he has with the game of football, treat the game of football … like how you treat dating and you’ll be very successful. Like, a No. 1 of all time.”
Brady and Earle have been linked since New Year’s after they were spotted together at a party in St. Barts. Gronkowski also pointed to Brady’s recent social momentum when asked who was the most fun at a party among Brady, Julian Edelman, and Mike Vrabel.
“It’s got to be Tom. Believe it or not, that’s a surprise answer. It really is. But Tom is on a hot streak right now,” Gronkowski said. “He’s ready to go. So, hey, it’s Tom I’m going to go with.”
Brady finalized his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The former couple shares two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady is also the father of 18-year-old Jack from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.

The pair have since been spotted together on multiple occasions, including the College Football Playoff National Championship in Miami, and later at Zero Bond in New York City.
