Much like the rest of the sporting world, Bill Belichick’s friends were shocked to see the 72-year-old former New England Patriots head coach dating a 24-year-old former cheerleader.
Jordon Hudson, a former college cheerleader at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, is the first woman to be linked to the former NFL coach since it was revealed that he had broken up with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday.
Bill Belichick and Hudson reportedly met on a flight in 2021 and he autographed her homework, “Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course in logic! Safe travels!”
According to People, The Hoodie and Hudson have been together now for more than a year, but some of the people around them still don’t see it as a “long-term thing.”
And while one source told People that they were shocked by the relationship, they aren’t judging him for it.
“If I had the options with attractive young women that Bill has, who knows what would happen,” the source said. “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 spit up. But there was something else on the horizon for him.”
They also added that ”when you are as well known as Bill and constantly exposed to temptations, then the door is open for problems.”

One person who certainly is judging Bill Belichick for his relationship with the much younger Hudson is former NFL player turned analyst Mark Schlereth.
“I think he’s a pig,” Schlereth said on his 104.3 The Fan radio show last week. “That’s disgusting…That’s just awful. What are you doing Plus, you just look like an absolute clown.”
Schlereth would later say, “What is wrong with you? He was 48 when she was born? She was a baby, and he was 48.”
So….Stink and Mike decided to role play what a conversation between Bill Belichick and his new girlfriend would be like.@markschlereth | @MikeEvans1043 pic.twitter.com/CpA5JVzOTb

Apparently, Jordon Hudson is used to navigating a relationship with a much older man as 64-year-old businessman Joshua L. Zuckerman dated her prior to Bill Belichick.
“I’ve been getting calls left and right from news stations about my relationship with Jordon Hudson,” Zuckerman told TMZ. “I have been involved with Jordon platonically and romantically and I consider her a good friend. I feel bad that she’s caught up in this whirlwind.
“I’m a former business owner in the healthcare field — we regularly discuss business and shared interest in psychology, philosophy and most important, our love of nature. She is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I’ve ever met in my life. The narrative about her character is not fair to her.”
Another source echoed Zuckerman’s sentiments about Hudson, telling the People, “Jordon is bright and ambitious and pretty well organized. 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.”
