Age is just a number, and former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, 72, is proving that with his new romance. According to TMZ, Belichick is now dating 24-year-old former cheerleader Jordon Hudson. The news comes after Belichick’s split from his girlfriend of over 10 years, Linda Holliday. While their breakup became public in September 2023, sources say they had been going through a back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year before that.
The couple reportedly met in 2021 on a flight from Boston to Florida. They connected over a philosophy project that Hudson was working on at the time and exchanged contact information. What started as a friendship eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship after Belichick and Holliday ended things. They were first spotted together in public in January 2023, but it wasn’t until later in the year that rumors started circulating on social media after they were seen holding hands in New Orleans.
TMZ reports that Hudson is not just a romantic partner to Belichick but also assists him with his business endeavors. In fact, she recently accompanied him on a business trip to Croatia. The couple seems to be going strong, as Belichick even attended the 2024 Coastal At The Capitol Cheer and Dance event in Maryland in March to support Hudson, who was competing. He sat in the back row and kept to himself during the event.
Their relationship is becoming more public, as Hudson was seen by Belichick’s side at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This week, the couple attended the event together, showcasing their love for all to see. The NFL legend’s former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, even hinted at Belichick’s new romance during Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” jokingly accusing him of “scouting” his new girlfriend at a high school.
Belichick, who led the Patriots for 24 seasons, recently moved on from the team following the 2023-2024 season. However, fans can still expect to see him on their screens as he is set to appear on Monday Night Football alongside Peyton and Eli Manning for the upcoming NFL season. Age may be just a number, but Belichick and Hudson are proving that love knows no bounds.
