The moment between Earle and Brady transpired just weeks after the famed beauty influencer split from Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios after two years of dating.

She elaborated on the breakup in a tearful social media video last month.

 

 

 

“This has just been really hard. … It’s not drama. It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t really feel like it was working out, in the moment,” Earle said.

As for Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is in his second season as Fox’s lead NFL analyst.
