Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson spotted attending cheerleading practice in Porsche Macan S
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been making headlines lately for his new girlfriend Jordon Hudson. On Thursday, the 23-year-old cheerleader/entrepreneur was seen driving a Porsche Macan CUV to a gym in Hingham, Massachusetts.
According to sources for the New York Post, Belichick had given her the $74,500 vehicle as a gift after driving it to Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony:
According to TMZ, the two first met in 2021 but did not begin dating until recently. Hudson currently resides in the 72-year-old's Hingham home and also vacationed with him in Croatia (Belichick's paternal grandparents were from there) and Nantucket.
How NFL personalities have reacted to Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson relationship: A brief summary
The Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson relationship has generated multiple takes, mostly negative, from both fans and esteemed figures in the NFL world.
Former tight end Rob Gronkowski was the first to react, having joked about it during Tom Brady's Netflix roast last month - well before it even became public knowledge.
“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked. But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend.”
And since then, there has been much condemnation. Sportscaster Chris Russo said he'd "have a problem with it" on his SiriusXM show "Mad Dog Unleashed."
"Here's what I would say. If Bill Belichick came to my house and wanted to date Kiera Russo, who's 23, I'd have a problem with it. 'Coach, come on in. Have a good time, you two.'"
Meanwhile, former quarterback Cam Newton, who played with Belichick in 2020, implored Hudson to end the relationship on an episode of "4th & 1":
"Jordon, stop your s**t... It's nothing about Bill Belichick that you really like outside of his resume. He's Bill f***ing Belichick, and call me crazy, but somebody has to say this, and whoever her parents, whoever her social circle is, whoever her friends are, are telling her the same thing."
But the strongest words came from former offensive lineman Mark Schlereth, who called Bill Belichick "a pig" for dating someone that young at his age.
"I think he’s a pig. That’s disgusting … That’s just awful. What are you doing? Plus, you just look like an absolute clown. What is wrong with you? He was 48 when she was born. She was a baby, and he was 48.”
Sportscaster Jason Whitlock, who said on his YouTube channel:
"He’s undermining his reputation; he doesn't check the box. He looks like a clown, he's making a fool of himself, he's being led around by his p*nis. That's not leadership, and that's not meeting the standard."
The only person to at least be neutral so far is Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who downplayed the uncomfortable implications of the age gap on his "BFFs" podcast:
"That’s fine. I don’t judge."
Neither party in the relationship has so far publicly spoken on the matter.
