The NFL world has been turned inside out.
Because this shocking relationship raised eyebrows across the league.
And this 72-year-old Super Bowl winning coach had a secret affair with a 24-year-old cheerleader that shocked fans.
Bill Belichick shocks the NFL after going public with his new girlfriend
Coach Bill Belichick has won more Super Bowl trophies than any coach in NFL history.
Beginning in 2000, Belichick was a key part in the almost unstoppable New England Patriots dynasty.
That ended when Belichick left the Patriots in 2023.
But parting ways with the Patriots in 2023 wasn’t the only major change in Belichick’s life.
It’s now been made public that the 72-year-old Belichick is dating 24-year-old former competitive cheerleader Jordan Hudson.
Belichick and Hudson got together soon after he broke things off with his longtime partner in 2022.
“Sources close to the situation tell us the two have been romantic for a while now — becoming an item shortly after the ex-New England Patriots head coach called off his longtime relationship with Linda Holliday,” TMZ exclusively reported.
The two met on a plane ride to Florida in 2021 and Belichick seemingly just couldn’t get Hudson out of his mind.
“According to one of Hudson’s former cheerleading teammates, Hudson first met the 72-year-old on a flight from the Boston area bound for Florida way back in 2021 … and bonded over a philosophy project the student-athlete had been working on,” the TMZ report went on.
In recent weeks, Belichick’s been seen out in public with Hudson which was the first acknowledgment of their relationship.
“Belichick was spotted rooting her on at a cheerleading competition in March. He also was seen with her on a work trip to Croatia. Just this week, she attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony with Bill as well,” the TMZ report read.
A joke that went over everyone’s head
Netflix’s recent Roast of Tom Brady didn’t just feature former teammates having fun at Brady’s expense.
Former Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski took a clear shot at Coach Belichick by cracking a joke about how his former coach liked younger women.
“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked,” Gronkowski began.
“But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend,” Gronkowski cracked.
“I mean coach, my joke wasn’t f**ked up but that’s f**ked up. You’re 73 years old, you should be trying to bang someone your own age – like Nikki [Glazer],” Gronkowski snarked.
At the time, no one understood what Gronkowski was talking about.
But while Belichick’s relationship with Hudson wasn’t yet public, it seems his former players clearly knew the two were dating.
And Gronkowski – who famously clashed with Belichick in New England – wasn’t going to pass up an opportunity to get a dig in at his former coach.
All jokes aside, Belichick will have plenty of time to spend with Hudson.
That’s because 2024 marks the first time in 50 years that Belichick won’t be coaching in the NFL.
