- NFL. Patriots' locker room needed Bill Belichick to leave: Jerod Mayo is a 'breath of fresh air'
- NFL. Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson virtually inseparable since moving in together earlier this year
Many were shocked to hear that Bill Belichick was engaged in a romantic relationship with a woman 48 years younger than him.
After leaving the New England Patriots, Belichick is out of the NFL for the first time in years, however his personal life has seen as much of a change.
Belichick and his 23-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, were seen enjoying a bike ride in Nantucket on the Fourth of July, according to photos published by the Daily Mail.
The couple wore similar rings on their index fingers and took a break to relax in the shade before celebrating the holiday with loved ones.
How did the couple meet?
Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader, and Belichick, 72, previously had a date night in Nantucket in June, the same month news of their romance spread online. The former Patriots head coach first met Hudson on a flight in 2021, where they bonded over her philosophy project.
Their relationship turned romantic after Belichick's split from longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday. According to Page Six, Belichick and Holliday had been in a "back-and-forth breakup" for nearly a year before their final separation. They had been together since 2007.
People confirmed in June that Belichick and Hudson have been dating for over a year.
"It's easy to see that Bill could become infatuated with her," a source told People Magazine.
"She is young, attractive, and interesting. They seem to enjoy each other's company and share common interests.
"They don't see it as a serious, long-term thing."
Belichick has been enjoying his time away from football since leaving the New England Patriots in January after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles. His final season with the Patriots ended with a disappointing 4-13 record, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
