Age is just a number.
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, 72, is dating 24-year-old former cheerleader, Jordon Hudson, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, a former teammate of Hudson’s claimed she began dating Belichick not long after he and his girlfriend of more than 10 years, Linda Holliday, broke up. While their split became public in September 2023, they had “been involved in a drawn-out, back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year” prior to that.

The eight-time Super Bowl champion reportedly met Hudson on a flight from the Boston area headed for Florida in 2021. They bonded over a philosophy project she was working on at the time and exchanged contact info.
They reportedly formed a friendship that turned romantic once Belichick and Holliday broke up.
The pair had been spotted out in public as early as January 2023, though dating chatter seemingly didn’t pick up on social media until later in the year after they were spotted holding hands in New Orleans.
They seem to be the real deal, as TMZ reported that Hudson assists with Belichick’s business endeavors. Furthermore, he recently brought her on a business trip to Croatia, according to the outlet.
Plus, Belichick was spotted at the 2024 Coastal At The Capitol Cheer and Dance event in Maryland in March, where Hudson is thought to have competed. While there, he reportedly sat in the back row and kept to himself.
They appear comfortable making their romance more public, as the self-proclaimed “Glamorous Girl Scout” attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony this week with her much older beau.
Furthermore, Rob Gronkowski hinted that the NFL legend was dating someone much younger when he jokingly accused him of “scouting” his new girlfriend at a high school during Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” which dropped last month.
Pvnew reached out to a rep for Belichick and Hudson herself via social media for comment but did not get an immediate reply.
Belichick led the Patriots for 24 seasons before moving on following the 2023-2024 season.
He is expected to appear on Monday Night Football alongside Peyton and Eli Manning for the upcoming NFL season.
