Bill Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach best known for his storied career with the New England Patriots, reportedly began his relationship with Jordon Hudson, a cheerleader nearly five decades his junior, after an unlikely meeting on a flight.
The NFL icon, now 72, and Hudson, in her early 20s, connected over a college textbook in 2021—a moment that eventually evolved into a full-fledged, headline-making romance.
Jordon Hudson's meeting with Bill Belichick on flight sparked their romance
The initial encounter between Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick, which took place on a commercial flight from Boston to Florida, went unnoticed at the time. The coach struck up a conversation and even autographed a college textbook titled Deductive Logic, writing, 'Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!'
What followed was an exchange of phone numbers and years of low-key interaction before their relationship gained public traction.
The couple was first photographed together in New Orleans in January 2023 and again spotted dining together in September 2023, but kept things discreet.
Confirmation came in June 2024 only when TMZ released that Jordon Hudson had indeed been dating Bill Belichick. Despite increased media attention, Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson have kept most details of their relationship private.
"Nothing changed for us in 2024 except for 'public knowledge': yet, somehow everything changed.
Going strong," Hudson wrote. "I can't wait to take punches for you in 2025. Keep swinging, Keyboard Warriors. Your illusion of righteousness only fuels my authenticity."
Jordon Hudson was a high-achieving athlete. While attending Bridgewater State University, Hudson was part of the cheerleading team that secured the NCA Collegiate Championship in 2021 and advanced to the elite East Celebrity Elite squad and competed at the Cheerleading World Championships in 2024.
The pair's most recent public appearance came at a University of North Carolina basketball game in early 2025, where a clip of Belichick dozing off courtside went viral. Though reactions online have ranged from amusement to criticism, particularly focusing on their significant age difference, Hudson seems unfazed. She's repeatedly defended their relationship and expressed confidence in their dynamic.
