Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick's ex, Linda Holliday, attend same Nantucket party months after holiday clash
It seems the ice has thawed in Nantucket. Jordon Hudson and Linda Holliday were spotted at the same Massachusetts fundraiser on Saturday, roughly eight months after Bill Belichick's current gal pal and his ex-girlfriend, respectively, clashed at a holiday affair. TMZ reported Monday that 'no issues were seen by partygoers' at the Boston Pops on Nantucket soiree, which is 'believed to be [Hudson and Holliday's] first public run-in' since the Nantucket Dreamland encounter last December, when Holliday confronted Hudson. 5 Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson in February 2025.

Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Holliday — who split from Belichick, 73, in 2023 after 16 years of dating — told organizers at the December 2024 gathering she felt Hudson's 'presence was inappropriate, since the event was widely advertised as a party headlined by her daughters,' and asked a staffer to 'remove Ms. Hudson from the premises,' according to an incident report obtained by TMZ in May. Holliday and two others confronted Hudson on the dance floor, and when a staffer approached Hudson about whether 'she thought it was a good idea to be there,' the former college cheerleader defended herself, stating she hadn't done anything wrong. 5 Linda Holliday and Bill Belichick dated for 16 years before their breakup was reported in 2023.

Cody Rhodes Casts Doubt On Major WWE Match Happening Again
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The epic rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defined WWE for two years, and now the new Undisputed WWE Champion has commented on the possibility of a third, tie-breaking match. While fans have been clamoring for a trilogy bout, Rhodes has admitted it would be a "very hard match to have happen" in the current landscape. Speaking on the Sports Illustrated Podcast, "The American Nightmare" was asked about another encounter with "The Tribal Chief." He acknowledged the importance of a rubber match but was realistic about the challenges. A Hard Match To Make Cody Rhodes praised Roman Reigns as an opponent and acknowledged the significance of their two WrestleMania main events. However, he noted that their current standing in the company makes a third match difficult to put together. "I can tell you that's probably a very hard match to have happen," Rhodes said. "But I could see it being very significant it happening again... for the fans who really make this all up... you can't just have two, you know, we split it, right? So that third exists... I'm certainly not adverse to it. I don't know what his outlook on it is." Finishing The Story: A Two-Year Saga The rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is the definitive storyline of the modern WWE era. It spanned two full years, beginning with Cody's return to the company in 2022 with the stated goal of winning the championship his father, Dusty Rhodes, never held. Cody Rhodes looks on during the WWE Royal Rumble at Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. Cody Rhodes looks on during the WWE Royal Rumble at Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. Alex Bierens de Haan Their first epic encounter was in the main event of WrestleMania 39, where Reigns, with the help of The Bloodline, defeated Rhodes in a heartbreaking finish. Cody spent the next year fighting his way back to the main event, winning a second consecutive Royal Rumble to earn a rematch. At WrestleMania 40, he finally "finished the story," defeating Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A Tale of Two Paths With their series tied at one win apiece, a third match seems inevitable from a storytelling perspective. However, the two stars are now on very different paths. Cody Rhodes is once again the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion on SmackDown after defeating John Cena at SummerSlam. Roman Reigns, after a long hiatus following his WrestleMania 40 loss, has recently returned to the Raw brand as a changed man. He is reportedly now on a new quest to capture the World Heavyweight Championship, which would put him on a collision course with that title, not Cody's. For a third match to happen, a major brand switch or a special "champion vs. champion" scenario would be required. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
