Tom Brady addressed recent speculation about his personal life on Wednesday, making it clear that his priorities remain firmly centered on his work and his children. The retired NFL quarterback was recently rumored to be linked to influencer Alix Earle after the two were spotted at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts.
Speaking to People at the Fanatics Studios launch party at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on January 13, the 48-year-old downplayed any focus on dating, saying, “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.”
He added, “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.”
Brady also reiterated that fatherhood comes first. He shares his eldest son, 18-year-old Jack, with ex Bridget Moynahan, and is also dad to 16-year-old Benjamin and 13-year-old Vivian with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. Reflecting on his life, Brady said, “I’m so blessed in so many parts of my life.”
