NFL legend Bill Belichick’s relationship with a former cheerleader five decades younger than him has been branded “disgusting”.

Bill Belichick’s love life is keeping his inner circle on their toes - and not everyone is happy about it.

The 72-year-old NFL coaching legend recently went public with his relationship with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson — a former college cheerleader at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts — but those close to him don’t believe it’s a “long-term thing”.

Belichick dated his ex-girlfriend Linda Holliday, 60, for 16 years before the news of their split became public in September 2023.

The news of Belichick and Hudson’s relationship broke earlier this month.

“If I had the options with attractive young women that Bill has, who knows what would happen,” one source told People. “All I can say is we like Linda and thought they were a great couple. They were good together.

“It was surprising to us and to others when they actually split up. But there was something else on the horizon for him. When you are as well known as Bill and constantly exposed to temptations, then the door is open for problems.”

Belichick and Hudson have yet to address their relationship publicly, though they have stepped out together.

The pair recently enjoyed a boat ride together when they were seen aboard Belichick’s $225,000 boat — named VIII Rings — in Nantucket earlier this month.

“Jordon is bright and ambitious and pretty well organised,” another source told People. “It’s easy to see that Bill could become infatuated with her. She is young and attractive and interesting.

“I don’t know what she wants from him but they seem to be enjoying each other and like doing many of the same things.”

However, the source “doesn’t see it as a serious, long-term thing.”

The six-time Super Bowl-winning coach met Hudson on a plane ride in 2021, as seen in a photo of the pair smiling together.

Belichick also signed her philosophy textbook at the time and the pair exchanged numbers and kept in touch, according to TMZ.

Mark Schlereth said Belichick looks like an “absolute clown”.

The former NFL offensive lineman-turned-Fox Sports analyst didn’t sugar-coat his reaction to the romance.

“I think he’s a pig,” Schlereth said during a recent instalment of his and Mike Evans’ 104.3 The Fan sports radio show in Denver, per Awful Announcing. “That’s disgusting … That’s just awful. What are you doing?

“Plus, you just look like an absolute clown.”

Later on in the show, Schlereth — who won three Super Bowls, one with Washington and two with the Broncos — went on to emphasise the couple’s 50-year age difference.

“What is wrong with you? He was 48 when she was born? She was a baby, and he was 48,” he said.
