The eight-time Super Bowl champion has a new love interest in his life.
Former NFL coach Bill Belichick is dating 24-year-old Jordan Hudson, various outlets report. The pair was seen recently leaving a home in Nantucket, a remote island off Cape Cod, Massachusetts., before enjoying an afternoon boating.
Belichick split from longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday in September 2023 before entering a relationship with Hudson, a former cheerleader, per TMZ Sports.
The New England Patriots parted ways with Belichick, 72, after 24 seasons with the franchise last year. He interviewed for a couple head-coaching vacancies this cycle, including the Atlanta Falcons.
Belichick won six Super Bowls with the Patriots as head coach and two previous titles as an assistant. All of his championships in New England came under the direction of star quarterback Tom Brady.
Back in March, Peyton Manning tried to hire Belichick as an analyst for Omaha Productions, according to The Athletic, a move that would’ve created a chain reaction of sorts in the football TV broadcast industry. If a deal is struck, NFL insider Ari Meirov reports that Nick Saban and Belichick could potentially link up with ESPN for a “ManningCast” rendition during the 2024 season.
Saban already has a contract with ESPN to be a part of College GameDay next season. This is a role many predict Saban to “thrive” in as a national college football analyst.
Saban and Belichick are long-time friends and coaching legends given their track record of uncharted success.
One of Saban’s earliest coaching roles was defensive backs coach under Belichick’s father, Steve, at Navy in 1982. Belichick, then an assistant with the New York Giants, would return to Annapolis in the summer. There, Saban and Belichick would talk football for hours, developing a close personal relationship along the way.
“There’s nobody I respect more in football than Nick Saban,” Belichick said after Saban’s retirement. “I don’t think there’s anybody that’s a better coach than Nick Saban. He does everything well. Nick was the first coach I hired and the best coach I hired.”

Saban, who has frequently appeared as a guest interviewee on GameDay throughout his head-coaching tenure, contributed to ESPN’s NFL Draft coverage and will help anchor its coverage of SEC Media Days this July in Dallas.
