Alix Earle will always have a special place in her heart for St. Barth’s.
In a new vlog posted to her YouTube channel on Jan. 22, the 25-year-old influencer opened up about her recent trip to the Caribbean island where she was spotted getting cozy with NFL superstar Tom Brady on New Year’s Eve.
“It was really fun,” Earle said to her cameraman when asked about the December vacation.
“I think it was the best trip of my entire life,” she added.
In videos obtained by PEOPLE, Earle and the former Patriots quarterback, 48, could be seen chatting and dancing together in a club. At one point, she flashed Brady a grin and was seen leaning over to whisper something in his ear while she rubbed her hand along his back. The pair were also seen laughing together during the night.
For the YouTube clip, her cameraman asked about her stay on a yacht while in St. Barth’s, which Earle described as “just such a fun time” as photo inserts appeared as recaps.
“It was a lot of, like, new people, but just everyone was on the same vibes, like, making friends, having fun. The girls were all really nice. It was just fun,” the Dancing with the Stars alum said.
Keleigh Sperry Teller and Nina Dobrev were among the famous faces seen in Earle’s Instagram photos from the trip.
When asked if she knew any of the people beforehand, the social media star said, “Yeah, I knew a few people that were there and most of them I had met, I just wasn’t, like, very close with. I only met a few people for the first time.”
She and her cameraman laughed together after she said there was “nothing” else about her trip that he needed to ask her.

After returning to the United States following their headline-making night out, Brady spoke to PEOPLE at the Fanatics Studios launch party in Los Angeles on Jan. 13 where he said there isn’t much room in his life for leisure.
“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,” the retired quarterback said.
Brady was previously linked to Irina Shayk in 2023 following his divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who married Joaquim Valente in December. Bündchen welcomed her third child — her first with Valente — in February 2025.
