Bill Belichick appears to be facing some romantic challenges as he and long-time girlfriend Linda Holliday have reportedly called it quits, according to Page Six.

The couple, who have been together since 2007, has been rumored to have gone through a prolonged, back-and-forth split for nearly a year. Recently, it has been suggested that Holliday has been staying at Belichick’s home even after their breakup, complicating matters further.

Holliday, a Southern belle, has expressed her desire to remain in the close-knit New England community, adding a layer of complexity to their separation. She has been involved with Belichick not just personally but also professionally as the director of his foundation, and she has a presence on social media that often draws attention.

In the past, Holliday caused a stir by criticizing Tom Brady during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which led to speculation that her comments contributed to tensions within the Patriots organization.

Now that the couple has parted ways, club executives are reportedly anxious about what Holliday might say online about her experiences with Belichick. Attempts to reach representatives for the Patriots and Belichick for comments have gone unanswered, and Holliday also did not respond to requests for comment.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this separation will impact both Belichick’s personal life and his professional standing within the franchise.
