After his Super Bowl win, Belichick, 72, Takes His 24-Year-Old Girlfriend for a Ride on His $77M Powerboat ‘VIII Rings’!
Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick was spotted for the first time with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, since their relationship became public, enjoying a sunny day aboard his $225,000 yacht in Nantucket on Wednesday, DailyMail.com can reveal. The 72-year-old Belichick took his younger girlfriend for a morning stroll on his boat, named VIII Rings after his impressive Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots. The couple is believed to have been dating since at least 2022, following the end of Belichick’s 16-year relationship with Linda Holliday, 62.
Exclusive photos show Hudson and Belichick looking relaxed together as they disembarked from the yacht, with the former cheerleader gripping a life buoy. She checked her phone while chatting with her boyfriend and a male friend before they all got into a car. Belichick, dressed in a blue baseball cap, polo shirt, and shorts, bent down as he carried a blanket and bag.
Hudson looked stylish in a black off-shoulder top, white lace shorts, and sandals for their morning on the water. Footage of Belichick sneaking out of his girlfriend’s house two months before their relationship was made public was revealed by DailyMail.com earlier today. The couple, with a 48-year age difference, had kept a low profile since reports of their relationship made headlines last week. The former NFL coach owns at least seven properties on the exclusive island, with an estimated combined value of $15.7 million. He recently purchased a $4.8 million home near the cobblestone streets of Nantucket. Belichick and Hudson enjoyed the sunny weather at a private three-bedroom, three-bathroom property offering complete seclusion.
This isn’t Hudson’s first visit to the island; she posted on social media from this private estate in May. The couple is currently vacationing with Belichick’s son, Brian, and his wife Callie, along with their young child. Belichick’s daughter-in-law, Jennifer Schmitt, and her children are also staying at the compound, though it’s unclear if her husband, Steve, has joined the family.
Both Brian and Steve married their wives on the island, with Callie posing for a photo in front of one of the properties. Belichick, who bought a house on Nantucket in 1979, has spoken about his love for the island, saying in a 2017 interview with N Magazine that it’s a stunning place with wonderful people and great activities, including fishing, bike paths, and beaches.
The couple’s relationship remained private until DailyMail.com revealed footage of Belichick sneaking out of Hudson’s house in 2023, months before their relationship was exposed. Football legend Tom Brady humorously commented on a Ring video showing Belichick walking shirtless at his party in April, not realizing that the house in question belonged to Belichick’s new girlfriend.
It seems Brady—and millions of Netflix viewers—were unaware that Belichick had been dating Hudson since 2022, after meeting her on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021, according to TMZ. The two are said to have bonded over a philosophical project that Hudson, a student-athlete and entrepreneur, was working on at the time. On Tuesday, a selfie from their first meeting in February 2021 was uncovered. The two were photographed on that flight, where Belichick reportedly struck up a conversation about the book Hudson was reading.
On that flight, Belichick is also said to have autographed a “Deductive Logic” textbook that Hudson, then a 21-year-old student at Bridgewater State University, was studying. The couple had kept their relationship private after Belichick’s breakup with his longtime partner, Linda Holliday. Ring footage, supposedly filmed last November, shows the New Haven legend walking shirtless and awkwardly opening the door to Hudson’s $800,000 home in Massachusetts early in the morning.
