Former NFL coach Bill Belichick is reportedly dating Jordan Hudson, a former beauty pageant contestant who is 48 years younger.
According to TMZ, the 72-year-old former coach has been dating 24-year-old Hudson.
Hudson is a former cheerleader who won a national championship during her time at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts.
Besides being a cheerleader, Hudson also has a background in beauty pageants. Earlier this year, she was the first runner-up in the Miss Maine USA pageant. Hudson also earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Bridgewater State University in May 2022.
TMZ reported that Hudson met Belichick in 2021 while she was still a college student.
According to a source, one of Hudson’s former cheerleader team members met Belichick on a flight from Boston to Florida, and they built a bond through an ongoing philosophy project. They exchanged contact information and stayed in touch for several months afterward.
Following the revelation of their relationship, some online users expressed disgust.
One online user sarcastically posted on X, “Imagine your daughter coming home for the weekend with her new boyfriend, and that man is Bill Belichick.”
Meanwhile, Belichick is renowned as the most successful coach in Super Bowl and NFL history with the most wins and appearances. He has achieved a total of 11 Super Bowl appearances and 8 Super Bowl wins over his 40-year career as a head coach and defensive coordinator in the NFL.
