Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots coach, appears to be as loved up as ever on social media with his new girlfriend despite the pair's big age gap.

Rumors about the new couple have been swirling for months now, but it was finally confirmed when TMZ reported that the pair had gone official earlier this year.
Sources close to the pair revealed that the 72-year-old had been spending quality time with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson since the former head coach called it quits on his longtime relationship with 61-year-old Linda Holliday in 2023.
Additionally, one of Hudson's former cheerleading teammates revealed that their connection allegedly started on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021, while Belichick was still in a relationship with Holliday, though it was described to only be "friendly."
The duo allegedly bonded over a philosophical project of Hudson's and exchanged contact details after getting off the plane.
However, things started hotting up over the past few months when Belichick decided to attend a cheerleading competition in National Harbor, Maryland - which is very unusual for him - and people started speculating whether he was there in support of his new girlfriend.
And now, six months on, the pair appear to be going from strength to strength as shown in Hudson's latest Instagram post.
Taking to the social media platform, the cheerleader posted a series of snaps taken across the summer.
"~Summation of Summer~," Hudson captioned the slideshow of images a few of which showed Belichick with his arm around his new girlfriend.
The 24-year-old snapped a selfie with Belichick as they posed in front of a lighthouse during a sunset, with the NFL star wearing a Taylor Swift sweater as he smiled into the camera.
In another shot, the 72-year-old had his arm around his lover as they posed together.
The post received a mixed reaction from Hudson's followers, with one commenting: "What do your parents think of their daughter dating someone older than they are? Bill should be ashamed of his old self for dating someone that’s young enough to be his granddaughter!"
"Hard not to think what do her parents think..." another added.
A third also commented: "Look like you had a great time with Grandpa!"
Others, however, tried to be supportive.
"Hard launching Belichick on instaface... a vibe," one Instagrammer wrote, while another stated: "She was sizzlin’ this summer."
Belichick and Hudson were first seen together in public in January 2023; however, they did not spark dating speculation until they were spotted holding hands in New Orleans a year later, according to Page Six.
But the pair are clearly happy together for Hudson to be hard-launching him on Instagram.
