Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, 24, have been dating for more than a year, KeynoteUSA can confirm.
Belichick, 72, and Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader, have been seen together on several occasions, sparking rumors of a romance between the former NFL coach and Hudson.
TMZ was the first to report the news of Belichick and Hudson’s romance.
Belichick’s former players Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski made jokes about their coach’s younger girlfriend during the live Netflix special, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady. Gronkowski joked: “Coach, I used to talk about Foxborough High School when we were a mess,” Gronkowski said. “But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were looking for your new girlfriend.”
Brady later joined in on the jokes, adding, “When someone asked me what my favorite ring was, I used to say, ‘Next one,'” he said. “Now that I’m retired, my favorite is that Ring camera. “That caught Coach Belichick sneaking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 in the morning a few months ago.”
“You still got it! Respect,” Brady added.
In September 2023, a source told KeynoteUSA that Belichick and his longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday, had broken up after 16 years together.

The source said the problem in the former couple’s relationship that ultimately led to their split was “not new” and that they had been “quite apart for a while.”
Holliday had dated Belichick since 2007 and served as president of his Bill Belichick Foundation. “They have issues to clear up that arise from a long relationship as well as his role in her professional life,” the source said at the time.
At the time, Belichick was busy and “everything was about football,” the source said, adding, “He doesn’t want a lot of public attention on this.”
“He has a lot going on, a good family and meets people all the time,” the source added in September.
In January, Belichick and the Patriots “mutually parted ways” after the team had been struggling to win games and Belichick seemed frustrated in media interviews.

Owner Robert Kraft had told KeynoteUSA that he was “really disappointed” with the Patriots’ 2023 season just before Belichick ended his tenure with the team.
“I expected things to be a lot better,” Kraft said after the team finished a 4-13 season, the worst record in the AFC Conference.

When Belichick formally announced his departure, he said, “I will always be a patriot,” during an emotional speech. “I hope to come back here,” Belichick said, adding, “I’ll always have those great memories.” I will carry them with me for the rest of my life.”
