A shocking new report has emerged claiming that former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is dating a former cheerleader who is nearly 50 years his junior.
Belichick, 72, claims he first hit it off with 24-year-old Jordan Hudson on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021. TMZ Sports.
The two reportedly became close through a philosophy project that Hudson, a student athlete and entrepreneur, was working on at the time.
They reportedly exchanged contact information after landing and stayed in touch over the next few months, discussing the former Bridgewater State University student’s schoolwork and cheerleading routines.
And after Belichick ended his longtime relationship with TV host Linda Holliday, things started to heat up quickly between Belichick and Hudson.

The pair are thought to have been romantically involved for some time and are now considered a “couple” following his split from Holiday.
While they initially kept a low profile and were only spotted occasionally, TMZ claims that Hudson secretly visited Gillette Stadium to cheer on her husband during the Patriots’ 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Their relationship recently went public, with Belichick being spotted cheering on her at a cheerleading competition in Maryland earlier this year.
A tournament source told TMZ that he watched at least one team perform and then stayed out of sight, sitting in the back row as he left the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.
Belichick has been spotted with Hudson, who is executive director of the exclusive members-only club Trouble Club Enterprises, on a business trip to Croatia and accompanied him to Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony this week.
The couple’s romance is so well-known within their circle that New England icon Rob Gronkowski even joked about it on Netflix’s “Brady Roast” last month.
Hudson has also reportedly been helping Belichick with some of his business endeavors recently.
The all-time great NFL coach, who ended his legendary tenure with the Patriots earlier this year, parted ways with Holiday last September after a protracted back-and-forth breakup that lasted nearly a year, Page Six reported.
After an emotional goodbye to the Patriots, Belichick was unable to secure a new NFL job ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Instead, he will be a regular on ESPN’s Monday Night Football alongside Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, and then potentially return if a coaching position becomes available.
