Why Tom Brady Isn’t Prioritizing His “Personal Life” After Alix Earle NYE Outing
Tom Brady is keeping his head in the game.
Two weeks after the seven-time Super Bowl champ spent New Year’s Eve in St. Barth’s with Alix Earle, he explained his work schedule is too full to allow for too much play.
“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself,” Tom told People in an interview published Jan. 14, “but I love working and I love my kids.”
The 48-year-old 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.”
In addition to his full plate of work duties, the former New England Patriots quarterback is devoted to his kids—Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, as well as Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
“Then obviously, my little babies at home,” Tom continued before correcting himself. “No, they’re not babies anymore.”
“My oldest is 18,” he added. “But seeing him thrive and grow, and there’s nothing greater for a parent when you’re seeing your kids do well.”
As for Benjamin? He’s “doing great as a sophomore,” while Tom’s “little baby girl in seventh grade” is “a little kick-ass volleyball player.”
He concluded, “I’m so blessed in so many parts of my life.”

Though Tom’s work life may be full, he made time to ring in the new year in St. Barth’s, where videos obtained by People and TMZ showed him dancing with Alix, who confirmed her breakup with NFL star Braxton Berrios last month.
In one clip, the Dancing With the Stars finalist leaned into the football legend and rubbed his back while whispering in his ear.
That same day, though, Tom shared his reflections on the past year and that helped “put things into perspective.”
“Growth doesn’t really happen unless you’re willing to challenge yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally,” he wrote on Instagram Dec. 31. “That’s something I try to live by and keep coming back to as I learn more with each passing year.”
“I’m so grateful for my loving and supportive family,” he continued, “and for meaningful career with people I care deeply about and for all the time spent showing up for both.”
Read on to look at some of Tom’s cutest moments with his family over the years.
