Bill Belichick might be out of a job, but his love life appears to be in a winning position.

The longtime New England Patriots head coach who was dumped by the team at the end of last season, is reportedly dating a 24-year-old former competitive cheerleader.

Citing sources, TMZ reported that Jordan Hudson and Belichick, 72, have been romantic for some time and became an item after he called off his longtime relationship with Linda Holliday.

Hudson and Belichick reportedly first met back in 2021 on a flight from the Boston area that was bound for Florida. They reportedly bonded over a philosophy project that the student-athlete was working on.

TMZ said the unlikely pair swapped contact information after landing and remained friends in the months that followed, chatting about her school work and cheerleading routines.

One source told the outlet that the relationship went to a new level after Belichick’s split with Holliday, said to have happened privately during the 2022 season.

A source told the outlet that Hudson quietly supported Belichick at his games at Gillette Stadium during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

They have recently become more public. Belichick was seen cheering on Hudson at a cheerleading competition in March and was also with her on a work trip to Croatia.

Hudson attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony with the coach as well.

Last month, Brady’s former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, joked about the relationship during Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady.

Hudson, an entrepreneur and philosopher, is also apparently helping The Hoodie with his business endeavours.

TMZ reached out to Belichick’s representatives for comment but had not heard back as of Friday night. Hudson declined comment when reached earlier this week.

Belichick is working in the media and would surely be interested in a head coaching gig elsewhere in the NFL.

He was married to Debby Belichick before his relationships with Holliday and Hudson.
