The late-night host proceeded to play a clip from the interview where Dokoupil asked Belichick how the couple met, and Hudson, sitting off-camera, said, “He’s not talking about this.”

“So I’m guessing not at church then?” Kimmel joked.

Belichick and his new girlfriend reportedly first met on a flight several years ago, with Hudson recently celebrating their four-year “Meetiversary” with a post on Instagram. And while Kraft gets the cold shoulder from Belichick in his new book, the former Patriots head coach does give a shoutout to Hudson in “The Art of Winning,” calling her his “creative muse.”

While Kimmel didn’t pull any punches with his jokes about the couple’s age difference — joking at one point, “They met at a daddy-daughter dance, right?” — it also sounds like the late-night host is rooting for them.

“I got to say, I love this relationship, I can’t get enough of those two,” Kimmel said. “They need a reality show. It’s like ‘The Golden Bachelor’ meets the regular ‘Bachelorette.’”

Kimmel isn’t the first person to poke fun at Belichick, now the head coach of the University of North Carolina’s football team, over his relationship. Belichick previously received a very public roasting at the hands of former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski and others while on the dais for last year’s “Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.”

“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked. But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend,” Gronk joked during the roast. Hudson later posted on Instagram last fall that she and Belichick are “still applying bacitracin daily” to heal the “burn wounds” from the Tom Brady roast jokes.
