- Jordon Hudson is poking fun at the massive age gap in her relationship with Bill Belichick
- The pair reportedly met during a flight in 2021, but did not begin dating until 2023
- The 24-year-old former cheerleader is 48 years younger than the Super Bowl champ
Jordon Hudson seems unbothered by age gap critics when it comes to her romance with Bill Belichick.
On Wednesday, May 21, the 24-year-old former cheerleader posted a photo with a playful punchline to her romance with the 73-year-old former general manager of the New England Patriots.
“Old Bay with my old bae,” she wrote over an Instagram Stories snap of the two having a sunset dinner together by the water.
On the table between their plates of chicken wings and dipping sauce was a can of Old Bay seasoning.
She later shared the same photo to her Instagram feed, where users weighed in on the quip.
“Unhinged,” one person said. Another wrote, “ ‘thi$ i$ love.’ ”
However, some seemed to be in the couple’s corner, with one person writing, “ppl hate on them so obsessively when they’re just out and about doing this lmao y’all they dgaf.”
Belichick and Hudson were first romantically linked in 2023, but didn’t go public until June 2024.
That month, a photo of the couple meeting on a flight in February 2021 was published by TMZ Sports. The outlet reported that the two sat next to each other as they flew from Boston to Florida.
Since then, she’s told at least one person that she and the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach are engaged, according to a Tuesday, May 20, article by The New York Times.
Aside from them being 48 years apart, Hudson and Belichick also made waves when she accompanied him to an interview with CBS News’ Sunday Morning in April.
Though the businessman was the one being interviewed, she went viral after shutting down questions as she sat off-camera. When Belichick was asked how the couple met, Hudson quipped: “We’re not talking about this.”
“No?,” journalist Tony Dokoupil asked, to which Hudson doubled down with, “No.”

While Belichick didn’t open up on the couple’s origin, he did say of the critics, “I’ve never been too worried about what everyone else thinks.” He added that instead, he just tries “to do what I feel like is best for me, and what’s right.”
During his conversation with CBS News, he discussed his memoir, The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football, where he gave Hudson a special shout-out.
“Thank you to my idea mill and creative muse, Jordon Hudson,” Belichick wrote in the third acknowledgement.
