Are Tom Brady And Erika Kirk Dating? Here Are The Facts About Rumors

PHOENIX, AZ—Rumors of a high-profile romance between 7-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (48) and Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk (37) have exploded across social media this week, amassing over 12 million views on X (formerly Twitter) alone.

However, a closer look at the source of these claims reveals that they are entirely baseless and part of a viral social media hoax.

1. The Origin: A Satirical Post

The rumor began with a post from an account called Hoops Crave, which featured side-by-side photos of Brady and Kirk with the caption, “Tom Brady and Erika Kirk are reportedly dating.”

• The Reality: The account openly describes itself as a parody page. Despite the “reportedly” tag, there have been no verified sightings, official statements, or credible news reports from outlets like TMZ or People linking the two.
• The Aftermath: The post was quickly amplified by unverified accounts and Facebook pages seeking engagement, but it remains a work of fiction.

2. Tom Brady’s Real Dating Buzz: Alix Earle

While the Erika Kirk rumors are false, Brady has been linked to another prominent figure in early 2026.

• The St. Barths Outing: Brady was spotted looking “cozy” with 25-year-old social media influencer Alix Earle at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths.
• The Footage: Videos surfaced of the pair grooving on a dance floor and talking closely. Earle recently split from Houston Texans player Braxton Berrios in December 2025.
• Brady’s Stance: In an interview with People on January 14, 2026, Brady downplayed his personal life, stating, “I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids.”

3. Erika Kirk: Focusing on TPUSA

Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk (who was assassinated in September 2025), has been the subject of several “retribution” rumors and hoaxes since taking over as CEO of Turning Point USA.

• Dating App Hoax: Just weeks after her husband’s death, a fake tweet circulated claiming she had launched a Christian dating app called “Faith & Fellowship” and was using it herself. This was quickly debunked as a fabricated screenshot.
• Current Focus: Kirk has repeatedly stated on the Charlie Kirk Show that her primary focus is carrying out her late husband’s “marching orders” for the organization. She is also a mother to two young children, a daughter born in 2022 and a son born in 2024.
