Bill Belichick, the former New England Patriots head coach, has a new romantic interest. According to TMZ Sports, the 72-year-old is dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, a former competitive cheerleader.
Sources familiar with the situation reveal that the relationship between Belichick and Hudson began shortly after Belichick ended his long-term relationship with Linda Holliday. The pair reportedly became an item following Belichick’s breakup, which occurred during the 2022 season.
Hudson first met Belichick on a flight from the Boston area to Florida in 2021. They connected over a philosophy project that Hudson, a student-athlete, was working on.
After exchanging contact information, they maintained a friendly correspondence for several months, discussing her academic work and cheerleading routines.
The relationship took a romantic turn after Belichick’s split with Holliday. Initially, the couple kept their relationship low-profile, with Hudson discreetly supporting Belichick at his games at Gillette Stadium during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Belichick was seen cheering for Hudson at a cheerleading competition in March. Additionally, the couple traveled together on a work trip to Croatia. Most recently, Hudson attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony alongside Belichick.
When reached for comments, representatives for Belichick have not responded. Hudson also declined to comment on the relationship when contacted earlier this week.
