Bill Belichick, the former head coach of the New England Patriots, was spotted on the Super Bowl red carpet with his girlfriend, who is a staggering 48 years his junior. The 72-year-old sports legend led the Patriots from 2000 to 2023, forming a formidable partnership with quarterback Tom Brady that saw them reach nine Super Bowls and secure six victories.
After leaving the NFL, it emerged in June last year that Belichick, born in 1952, was dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson. The couple had reportedly been together for two years prior but managed to keep their relationship under wraps.
They first crossed paths on a flight in 2021 when Hudson was still a university student and cheerleader at Bridgewater State University. According to TMZ, they were seated next to each other on the plane, and Belichick even autographed one of Hudson’s textbooks.
Fast forward four years, and the pair are now making appearances together on the Super Bowl Honors red carpet. Former NFL players who were coached by Belichick have not shied away from teasing their old mentor about his new partner.
During The Roast of Tom Brady, Belichick was the butt of several jokes, with tight end Rob Gronkowski quipping: “Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked.”
Brady also took a swipe, saying: “When somebody asked me which ring was my favourite, I used to say, ‘The next one.’ Now that I’m retired, my favourite is that Ring camera that caught coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6am a few months ago.”
Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg also poked fun at their relationship during his monologue at the NFL Honors 2025, saying: “I’ve been a football fan for a long, long time. I remember back when the Cowboys was good. I remember back when the Chiefs was bad. And I remember – what was it? Bill Belichick’s girlfriend wasn’t even born yet.”
Since going public, Hudson has shared several photos of the couple together, be it on vacation or at events attended by Belichick, and they appear very happy despite their significant age difference.
