NEW YORK — Alix Earle is opening up about her rumored romance with Tom Brady.

Earle addressed the speculation swirling about her love life during an episode of her new reality show, “Earle Meets World,” which hit Netflix on Friday. She was chatting with “Dancing With the Stars” star Jenna Johnson during rehearsals — she danced with Johnson’s husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, on season 34 of the show — when the pro abruptly asked her about her status with Brady.

“What is going on?” Johnson asked, referencing the rumors.

Earle responded: “I don’t know what’s going on. I’m having fun.”

Johnson, unsatisfied with Earle’s answer, laughed and grabbed her by the shoulders. She gave the influencer a good shake before she pushed further.

“So it’s, like, confirmed?” she asked.

But, Earle remained somewhat coy, reiterating, “No, I’m just having fun. I know, a lot has changed since last time.”

Johnson then went on to ask about Earle about her former boyfriend of two years, NFL player Braxton Berrios: “How are you doing after, like, Braxton?”

Earle said she was doing OK, prompting Johnson to joke: “Then you were like, ‘Tom, come over, cutie.' ”

Earle was first linked to the famous footballer on New Year’s Eve, when they were spotted together on a yacht in St. Barths. Gossip blogger DeuxMoi went on to report that they were “hooking up all week” at the start of January, with a source similarly confirming the romance to People. Then, in February, the pair were spotted dancing at a Super Bowl party. Months passed before they made headlines again.

In July, a tipster told DeuxMoi that the pair were “making out” at Michael Rubin’s White Party in the Hamptons, marking the last time they were spotted together.
