Recently, news broke that former legendary New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is dating an ex-cheerleader who is 24 years old, which has led to a lot of criticism and jokes about the relationship. While many seem to find the ties controversial and unconventional, many people also express how bad they feel about the girl’s parents dating the 72-year-old coach.
NFL Fans Express Feelings For Parents
The popular question that many seemed to think about was, “What would it be like for the parents to find out their 24-year-old daughter is in a relationship with a 72-year-old?” Here are some of the reactions on social media:
Well, #1 Bill is rich. #2 Bill is Bill Belichick. #3 Those things won’t change.
No way a 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 year old woman would ever only be with him for money….
Hell, 95% of men are jealous of him. They make a thing called a prenuptial agreement. https://t.co/uNP1ft78yR

Plenty of relationships exist that are effectively exchanging youth for money, and Bill Belichick is a great example
People are welcome to do that, they’re adults, but it’s a transaction, not a relationship

Anyone praising Bellichick right now is a weirdo. He’s in his 70s. She’s in her early 20s. He helped her with her homework on a flight, that’s how they met. Ew.

Bill Belichick has kids old enough to be his new girlfriend's parents. His eldest daughter is 40!! This new chick is 24. Also freakin' Bill is in his 70s. Jesus man. Gross.

Bill Belichick Relationship
Many people are ‘disgusted’ about the relationship, saying that the age gap between the two is ‘gross’ and ‘upsetting.’ The girl, Jordan Hudson, met Belichick back in 2021 on a flight from the Boston area to Florida. According to one of her former cheerleading teammates, both parties “bonded over a philosophy project the student-athlete had been working on.” Before Hudson and Belichick went their separate ways, the coach autographed her textbook, and included the years of his Super Bowl wins, along with a message that said, “Jordan, Thanks for giving me a course in logic! Safe travels!”
Relationship Is Now Public
The two then exchanged phone numbers with each other and stayed in touch, talking about Hudson’s school work and her cheerleading routines. The next year after the meeting, the two reportedly started dating each other, ending Belichick’s 16-year relationship with his previous partner, Linda Holliday.
Even though the relationship between Belichick and Hudson makes most people feel uncomfortable, the two seem happy with each other. What are your thoughts on this controversial relationship, and do you think that the age gap between the two is unconventional?
