Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, 73, and girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 24, have their relationship on full display.
Though Belichick has confirmed the couple first met on a flight in 2021, the pair made their first formal public appearance at a gala at the Museum of Natural History on Dec. 5, 2024.

Belichick and his former partner of 16 years, Linda Holliday, split in 2023, People reported.
Belichick was previously married to Debby Clarke from 1977 to 2006, and they share three children, all of whom are coaches themselves: Amanda Belichick, the head coach of women’s lacrosse at the College of the Holy Cross, Stephen Belichick, defensive coordinator for the University of North Carolina, and Brian Belichick, safeties coach for UNC.
Bill Belichick and Hudson, whom Belichick has confirmed he has a “personal and professional” relationship with, have garnered attention due to their over 40-year age gap. In an April 2025 interview, the current University of North Carolina football head coach was asked how he deals with people “invested” in their relationship.
“I’ve never been too worried about what everybody else thinks,” Belichick said. “Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what’s right.”

When Belichick was asked how they met, Hudson interjected, saying, “We’re not talking about this.”
In a statement following the interview, Belichick said Hudson “was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.” He added that they have been “open” about meeting on a flight to Palm Beach, Florida, in 2021.
