Alix Earle and Tom Brady party linkups may be turning into a legit connection … ’cause we're told the two are suddenly giving off some serious chemistry.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us the influencer, 25, and retired quarterback, 48, have, of course, hung out in the same circles before … but things took a noticeable turn this past weekend when they both hit San Francisco for Super Bowl festivities.

The two were spotted dancing and chatting together at an invite-only pre–Super Bowl party -- and we’re told the pair exchanged contact info for the first time during the trip.

Blake Garrett -- best known for his role in "How to Eat Fried Worms" -- has died at age 33 ... TMZ has learned.

Blake's mom, Carol Garrett, tells TMZ ... the former child star passed away Sunday. She says the family is still awaiting the autopsy results from the medical examiner to determine an official cause of death.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the comedian and the fitness influencer, who we first reported were dating in March 2025, recently called it quits. It's currently unclear what led to the split. The two have also unfollowed each other on social media.

When we broke the story last year, Matt and Mariah looked very much all in. While it was unclear exactly how long they'd been seeing each other at the time, Mariah had already gotten close enough to post a pic with Matt's dog, Hammer, raising eyebrows among fans.

Looks like the touchdowns weren’t just happening on the field ... Orlando Bloom appeared to be scoring big off it too, stepping out of the Super Bowl with a mystery blonde firmly on his arm.

The 49-year-old actor looked happy, relaxed, and very much not single as he exited Levi’s Stadium Sunday night alongside Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28, who was tightly linked to Orlando as they made their way out.

Orlando kept things cool and low-key in an all-black fit and cap ... but with Luisa hanging off his arm, the duo was anything but discreet.

According to the sheriff's department, Kim's hubby, James Morgan, was arrested at the scene for obstructing or delaying a public officer. He is currently still in custody and is due in court Tuesday.

A bitcoin account allegedly set up to accept funds in exchange for Savannah Guthrie's missing mother Nancy is still sitting empty Monday morning ... with time quickly winding down on an alleged deadline.

Over the weekend, Savannah and her family responded to a ransom message, saying they will pay the $6 million demand to have their mother returned to them. The alleged note requested payment by last Thursday ... but it also listed a second deadline of today at 5 PM local Tucson time.

It's unclear how long it typically takes for accounts to update, but as of now, the confirmed balance in the publicly viewable account stands at $0 ... with no transactions recorded.

Logan Paul caused a scene at the Super Bowl just by existing ... with a bunch of fans rushing up to him as he left the game -- to the point where his bodyguard had to intervene.

TMZ Sports shot the Maverick and his wife, Nina Agdal, exiting Levi's Stadium on Sunday ... and the footage shows a group following closely behind.

In the clip, it looks like Paul is asking the crowd to take it easy ... but the fans were trying their best to capture selfies with the WWE Superstar.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't just hoist the Lombardi Trophy -- they capped their Super Bowl victory with a private T-Pain and Ludacris show.

TMZ Sports obtained exclusive footage of the newly crowned champs keeping the celebration rolling after their dominant 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX ... turning their after-party into a full-blown concert.

We're told T-Pain, Ludacris, and DJ Infamous performed for players, coaches, and fans staying at the team hotel -- delivering a high-energy set as Seattle soaked in its second title in franchise history.

Mac Jones isn’t exactly buying into the 49ers' viral practice facility conspiracy ... but he's not completely brushing it off either!

The San Francisco backup QB talked with TMZ Sports about the chatter tying the team’s nearby electrical substation to their injury history ... a theory that’s picked up steam online and even sparked quiet locker room curiosity over the years.

Some have speculated electromagnetic fields from the power station by Levi's Stadium could be messing with players' bodies, but there's been zero scientific proof backing it.

Travis Kelce isn't in the Super Bowl this year, but he's still having a ball! We got video of the NFL star partying hard in San Francisco ahead of the big game ... without his fiancée Taylor Swift.

We don't know if there was Bacardi in his cup, but Travis definitely partied like it was his birthday as 50 Cent's classic "In Da Club" blared from the club speakers.

Travis has been flying solo the past couple days ... and Taylor's presence has still been felt throughout his trip.

The Super Bowl is the biggest stage in sports ... and ex-NFL star Victor Cruz says players are well aware of that fact ... which is why they put a lot of thought into touchdown celebrations ahead of the Big Game.

Cruz -- who did a signature salsa dance to honor his grandmother and Puerto Rican heritage whenever he found the endzone throughout his career -- spoke to TMZ Sports at the "Sports Illustrated The Party" bash on Saturday ... and he broke down the art of making a Super Bowl tuddy that much more iconic.

Cruz -- who had a touchdown in Super Bowl XLVI over the New England Patriots --  said he thinks athletes have it on their minds leading up to kickoff.

E-40, like all of us, is still reeling from the tragic and sudden loss of Lil Jon's son Nathan Smith, AKA DJ Young Slade ... and he had a heartfelt message for the mourning father when we caught up with him last night.

The Bay area legend sent his deepest condolences from the Fanatics party in San Francisco, adding, "We were just on 'Family Feud' together, all of us."

The rappers, along with their family members, made an appearance on the game show last year.

A crew of high-profile OnlyFans models is putting' their money where their mouth is, placing a whopping six-figure bet on the underdog New England Patriots to beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX!

TMZ Sports is told Ariana Nicole, Natalia, Remy LaCroix, Coco Star, Kylie Chase, Forrest Smith, Alix Lynx, and Abby Bunni, rather than going at it alone, pooled some cash ... and headed over to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, where they made the wager.

Bets, without prior authorization, are capped at $50K, so the women made three identical wagers, totaling $150K.

Meek Mill is shutting down the Bad Bunny halftime show haters ... telling TMZ Sports the global superstar absolutely deserves the Super Bowl spotlight.

The Philly rapper weighed in outside the Fanatics luncheon on Friday as debate continues to swirl over the NFL tapping the Latin music icon for the coveted performance slot … with some critics questioning whether Bad Bunny’s style and Spanish catalog will connect with viewers.

“I think he’s going to do well,” Meek said. “He’s a great artist, one of the legends and I think everybody deserves a shot.”

Not only does Dave Portnoy believe his Patriots will win big in Super Bowl LX, he thinks it's the start of Drake Maye's NFL domination ... telling TMZ Sports he expects the young quarterback to win at least championships for New England.

The Barstool Sports founder chopped it up with us at the "Sports Illustrated The Party" bash in the Bay Area on Saturday ... and he said it's nice to be back in good graces with the NFL after their longstanding beef.

Portnoy and Barstool were previously banned from the Super Bowl after he and three others protested the Deflategate ruling at NFL HQ, but we broke the story earlier this month -- he's now welcome to attend the Big Game once again, as long as he buys a ticket -- which he did.
