Bill Belichick shocked people close to him with Linda Holliday breakup, Jordon Hudson relationship

Bill Belichick’s love life is keeping his inner circle on their toes.

The 72-year-old free agent NFL coach recently went public with his relationship with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson — a former college cheerleader at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts — but those close to him don’t believe it’s a “long-term thing,” according to People.

“If I had the options with attractive young women that Bill has, who knows what would happen,” one source told the outlet. “All I can say is we like Linda and thought they were a great couple. They were good together.

“It was surprising to us and to others when they actually split up. But there was something else on the horizon for him. When you are as well known as Bill and constantly exposed to temptations, then the door is open for problems.”

Belichick dated his ex-girlfriend Linda Holliday, 60, for 16 years before the news of their split became public in September 2023.

However, Page Six previously reported the two were involved in a drawn-out, back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year.

The news of Belichick and Hudson’s relationship broke earlier this month.

“Jordon is bright and ambitious and pretty well organized,” another source told People. “It’s easy to see that Bill could become infatuated with her. She is young and attractive and interesting.

“I don’t know what she wants from him but they seem to be enjoying each other and like doing many of the same things.”

However, the source “doesn’t see it as a serious, long-term thing.”

Belichick and Hudson have yet to address their relationship publicly, though they have stepped out together.

The pair recently enjoyed a boat ride together when they were seen aboard Belichick’s $225,000 boat — named VIII Rings — in Nantucket earlier this month.

Belichick — who mutually parted ways with the Patriots after 24 years and six Super Bowl titles in January — was seen supporting Hudson at a separate cheer event in D.C. in March.

Belichick also signed her philosophy textbook at the time and the pair exchanged numbers and kept in touch, according to TMZ.
