Bill Belichick is “living his best life” amid his headline-making romance with Jordon Hudson.
Multiple sources told the US Sun on Tuesday that the former New England Patriots head coach, 72, has been lapping up “the simple life” ever since he started dating the 23-year-old last year.
“This is another shot at youthfulness,” one of his former Patriots colleagues told the outlet.
The six-time Super Bowl champion parted ways with the Pats in January after 24 years of working for the franchise. While Belichick has entertained other offers, the source suggested that he might be ready to officially retire now that his love life has taken a turn for the better.
“I don’t know if he is looking to go back to coaching again, I may be wrong, but I think that he is realizing that there is more in life than just football,” added the insider.
The source said it’s been “refreshing” to see this new side of Belichick, who is famously known for his dry personality and serious demeanor.
“I see this going far,” the source added.
The cheerleader reportedly moved into Belichick’s Massachusetts home a few months ago. They were also spotted wearing matching rings while vacationing in Nantucket last week.
Despite the pair’s nearly 50-year age gap, another source said the football savant “doesn’t care” what anyone thinks about their relationship.
One of Belichick’s old pals told the outlet that “you can see the connection” between the unlikely couple.
“They are a solid duo, two peas in a pod,” the source divulged, noting that Hudson “loves his jokes” and has been a “breath of fresh air.”
“To be honest, I don’t think he would be frustrated if he doesn’t get a coaching job again,” they said. “When you have a simple life, and someone you like spending time with, it’s tough to interrupt that dynamic.”
The NFL legend met Hudson on a flight nearly three years ago. The pair reportedly bonded over her philosophy homework and exchanged information.
Although they developed a friendship at first, things turned romantic after his split from his longtime girlfriend, Linda Holiday.
Although their breakup wasn’t reported until September 2023, we were told they first split sometime in 2022.
Meanwhile, the former collegiate cheerleader dated another much-older man before her romance with the legendary coach.
Last month, Hudson’s 64-year-old ex-boyfriend defended her new relationship in an interview with TMZ.
“She is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I’ve ever met in my life,” Joshua L. Zuckerman told the outlet. “The narrative about her character is not fair to her.”
Like Belichick, Zuckerman told the outlet that he bonded with Hudson over their shared interests in “psychology, philosophy and most important, [their] love of nature.”
“I feel bad that she’s caught up in this whirlwind,” he said of his “good friend.”
