Bill Belichick Opens Up About Life After Coaching and His New Relationship

Foxborough, Mass. — Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, recently shared insights about his life following his dismissal in 2023 after a challenging season. Now 73, Belichick reflected on his career milestones and personal life during an interview for CBS Mornings.

Belichick, who has secured six Super Bowl titles with the Patriots, discussed his relationship with Jordon Hudson, a 24-year-old former cheerleader. Their romance gained public attention due to the significant age difference and their journey from friendship to dating.

The couple first met in February 2021 on a flight from Boston to Florida, where Hudson asked the legendary coach to sign her philosophy textbook. Their friendship blossomed into a romance by early 2023, coinciding with Belichick’s split from longtime partner Linda Holliday.

In the interview, which aired on April 23, 2025, Belichick described how his father’s teachings shaped his coaching philosophy and how Hudson’s presence has brought joy to his life. Previously, Belichick has kept his personal life private but has now embraced sharing those moments with Hudson on social media.

Hudson, a graduate of the New England Hair Academy, often posts about their outings, including bike rides and romantic dinners. Despite the public scrutiny surrounding their relationship, the couple remains unfazed and continues to build a life together.

Belichick’s future in coaching remains uncertain after failing to secure a new head coaching position following his Patriots exit. However, he is enjoying his time as a guest commentator in the 2024 NFL season while promoting his new book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.”

As he looks back on his historic coaching career and forward to the next chapter, Belichick emphasizes the importance of enjoying life and cherishing personal relationships.
