Bill Belichick‘s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has subtly defended their relationship following criticism from an online troll.
Hudson, who has otherwise not commented on her relationship with the 72-year-old, received a nasty comment on her Facebook page (on an unrelated post from March) that called her a ‘gold digger with an old [pedophile].’
However, when another person defended her and began by saying she was a ‘legal adult,’ Hudson gave the comment a heart-emoji, as unearthed by the New York Post.
That commenter continued, ‘Are you jealous because you haven’t accomplished anything in life , and feel a need to insult someone you don’t even know.’
‘The reason people like you get away with making disparaging comments is because you probably won’t be called out on it in person , where if the playing field was fair you would catch a slap like you deserve.’

Hudson and Belichick’s age-gap relationship has been the subject of much discussion and scrutiny since TMZ Sports revealed the pair have been together since 2022.
However, Hudson’s 64-year-old ex Joshua Zuckerman praised Hudson for being ‘wise beyond her years’ in a conversation with the website.
He told TMZ Sports that he met Hudson a number of years ago and the two bonded over psychology, philosophy, and nature before eventually making the relationship romantic.
The pair were on and off for a while before eventually ending their dating relationship – just prior to Hudson becoming serious with Belichick.
He said in a statement, ‘I have been involved with Jordon platonically and romantically and I consider her a good friend. I feel bad that she’s caught up in this whirlwind.’
He added, ‘I’m a former business owner in the healthcare field — we regularly discuss business and shared interest in psychology, philosophy and most important, our love of nature.
‘She is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I’ve ever met in my life. The narrative about her character is not fair to her.’
Hudson and Belichick reportedly met on a plane headed to Florida, where they also bonded over the competitive cheerleader’s college studies at the time.
Belichick thanked Hudson for giving her ‘a course on logic’ as he signed one of her textbooks, as seen in a picture obtained by TMZ.
The pair have stepped out publicly this week in Nantucket, as DailyMail.com revealed they enjoyed a double date with two friends at secret private members club, The Boarding House, on Thursday.
They were also spotted boarding a boat earlier in the day.
