Bill Belichick had a catch of the day, but it wasn’t a football.

The former NFL coach donned a fisherman costume to match his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson’s mermaid costume for the couple’s first Halloween together.

The former Bridgewater State University cheerleader posted pics of the couple on her Instagram as the two happily posed in their costumes on a beach, with Belichick mimicking catching Hudson on his fishing rod.

Hudson looked up adoringly at the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach in the snaps she posted.

Belichick was wearing a fishing hat, a raincoat, jeans and boots as part of his getup along with the aforementioned fishing rod.

Hudson wore a mermaid tail bottom with scales on it.

“Ouucchhhh!!!” she captioned the pair of pics along with an emoji of a fish hook.

Belichick and Hudson had started dating after the former Patriots coach split from his longtime girlfriend Linda Holiday.

Belichick and his new girlfriend, who is 48 years his junior, first met while on a flight together in 2021.

The mermaid costume was Hudson’s second Halloween costume this year after she donned one that was an homage to her football coaching boyfriend.

Photos obtained by TMZ showed Hudson dressing up as Belichick back in his days as defensive co-ordinator of the Giants while at Disney World over the weekend to celebrate an engagement.

In the photos, she could be seen rocking a white Giants T-shirt paired with white shorts and in one snap she could be seen standing in the same stoic way that Belichick would have been in his coaching days.

The photos of Hudson that made the rounds following the TMZ report drew a cheeky reply from former NFL quarterback and current Prime Video analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick.

“For all you 48-year-old hopeless romantics out there just think your future person may not even be born yet,” Fitzpatrick wrote on social media.
