Bill Belichick, 72, pictured in loved-up snaps with girlfriend, 23 – and the NFL coach reveals he’s a Taylor Swift fan

Jordan Hudson, the 23-year-old fiancée of NFL coach Bill Belichick, recently shared a series of romantic photos from their summer together on Instagram. The images have drawn attention given the significant age difference—Belichick is 72, nearly 50 years older than Hudson.

In one notable photo, Belichick is seen wearing a sweatshirt featuring Taylor Swift, adding a playful touch to their relationship. Following his long tenure with the New England Patriots, which concluded last season, Belichick is now working as an analyst for the current football season.

Their relationship sparked controversy when it became public over the summer, largely due to the age gap. The couple first met three years ago on a plane, immediately hitting it off. After exchanging contact information, they kept in touch for four months, discussing Hudson’s cheerleading routines and schoolwork.

Following Belichick’s breakup with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday in 2023, their romance intensified. Now, a year later, they have been seen together in public multiple times, including in Croatia and at Tom Brady’s induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame on June 12.

During their initial meeting on a flight to Florida, Belichick humorously signed Hudson’s notebook, thanking her for a “course on logic” and noting the acronyms for each of his six championship seasons.

The couple was also photographed in Nantucket, where Belichick owns property. He showcased his $225,000 powerboat, named VIII Rings, in honor of his eight Super Bowl victories—six with the Patriots and two as a defensive coordinator with the New York Giants.

Earlier this year, Belichick was captured on a Ring doorbell camera leaving Hudson’s home in Massachusetts shirtless, further fueling public interest in their relationship. This footage resurfaced discussions about a joke Tom Brady made during his Netflix roast of Belichick, referencing the incident.

Brady quipped about his favorite “ring” now being the camera that caught Belichick leaving Hudson’s house, adding a humorous twist to the dynamics between the former coach and his star player. Throughout the roast, Belichick appeared visibly uncomfortable with the jokes aimed at him.

As their relationship continues to develop in the public eye, Hudson and Belichick remain a topic of intrigue, balancing their personal lives with the scrutiny that comes from their high-profile statuses.
