Shirtless Tom Brady cuddles his cat in Instagram Stories

Tom Brady snuggled up to his cat in a shirtless photo posted to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday. The retired NFL star lounged on a couch and flashed a grin as the cat climbed onto his bare chest. He captioned the snap with three red heart emojis. Brady shared the photo days after Alix Earle—who has been romantically linked to him since December—posted a TikTok saying she sobbed after running into her ex, wide receiver Braxton Berrios.

Earle described the encounter as "really hard" and "weird," saying she didn’t say hi because she didn’t want to "go up and annoy him," and called the experience emotionally difficult as their relationship shifted from "best friend" to "a stranger in the corner of the room." The pair split in December, reportedly amicably after "growing apart as a couple." Brady and Earle first sparked romance rumors after getting flirty on a yacht in St.

Barts on New Year’s Eve and were later seen together at a Super Bowl party in February.
