The ex-partner of Bill Belichick‘s girlfriend Jordon Hudson has hit out at critics of the couple, claiming there is an “unfair narrative” about the cheerleader. The former New England Patriots head coach recently decided to go public with his relationship with Hudson, who has been accused of being a gold digger given the NFL legend’s riches.
But in a surprising move, her former lover has jumped to Hudson‘s defense and stated that despite her youthful age, she is mature beyond her years.

Businessman Joshua L. Zuckerman, who is 64, dated Hudson after bonding over their shared values having initially struck up a frienship. However, they broke things off shortly before she began dating Belichick.
Much has been said about the 23-year-old’s relationship with the six-time Super Bowl winning-coach, who is 48 years older than her.
But Zukcerman holds no ill feeling towards Hudson and stated he had been appalled by the reaction to their relationship, in addition to the abuse she had received online.
“I’ve been getting calls left and right from news stations about my relationship with Jordon Hudson,” Zuckerman told TMZ Sports. “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.”
“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.”
