The TikTok video shared on Saturday, January 3, shows TJ and his current wife, Ashley, having a discussion about their wardrobe as they were getting ready for an evening outing. As Ashley showed off a blue velvet blazer, TJ revealed that the jacket previously belonged to him. He shared that he had purchased it because of Tom Brady.
“I actually got that jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that,” TJ shared. A stunned Ashley then replied, “Are you joking?”
TJ insisted, “I swear to God,” to which his wife said, “Are you serious? … You know what, honey, you just say the darnedest things. How ironic is that?”

Earle seemingly rubbed Brady’s back with her hands as she leaned into whisper something in his ear. The pair shared a laugh as they continued to enjoy each other’s company at the party. While the video has since fuelled romance rumors, the pair has yet to publicly confirm the speculations.
In December 2025, Earle called it quits with her boyfriend, the Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios, after two years of dating. Meanwhile, Brady was previously linked to model and television star Brooks Nader, following his divorce from Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2022.
