Their newfound romance seemingly stunned some close to them, as per People.
The downsides of having a massive age gap relationship
Dr. Jenn Mann, MFT, a licesesed therapist, reveals the key issues experienced by romantic partners with a huge age gap between them.
Dr. Mann claimed it might initially feel exciting when one partner is much younger than the other, like Bill Belichick, 72, and Jordon Hudson, 24, who share a whopping 48-year age difference.
"When people get older, they might just think it is refreshing that a young woman is looking at them adoringly and is attracted to them and is interested in him," Dr. Mann told The U.S. Sun.
"[But] there is a huge gap in life experience — in just years on this planet, in the way that helps us to evolve, develop, and mature."
"Even the most mature young person, when there is a 40-year age gap, the older people are incredibly immature.
"You're not meeting in the middle regarding development and life experience."
Dr. Mann said one common consideration for older male partners would be the younger female wanting a father figure.
"Usually, younger women are drawn to much older men because of unresolved issues with their fathers," Dr. Mann added.
"This could be a lack of attention, love, someone not being there, or even someone being in the household but not being present the way she might wish he was."
Dr. Mann noted that sexual and intimacy issues might begin to be at play, given the older partner may not have as much energy.
What's more, for older men, "it becomes more difficult typically to get and maintain an erection," she said.
"There are problems related to sexual performance, which can create other risks when it comes to taking medication for sexual performance."
Socially, Dr. Mann suggested that issues may arise between a couple when they mix with friends from different generations.
"In this case, if they're hanging with Bill's friends in their seventies or even sixties and fifties, a 24-year-old woman at that table will likely struggle to find common ground socially," she said.

"If I had the options with attractive young women that Bill has, who knows what would happen," a source told the outlet.
"All I can say is we like Linda and thought they were a great couple," adding that they felt Belichick and Holliday "were good together."
Belichick and Hudson's relationship seemingly has its doubters too, with another source reportedly saying they don't "see it as a serious, long-term thing."
They also gave further insight into the former Bridgewater State University cheerleader who they described as "bright and ambitious and pretty well organized."
