NFL icon Bill Belichick and his cheerleader girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, have reportedly ended their relationship, according to a startling new report.
The couple allegedly split in secret toward the end of last year. TMZ reports that Hudson has since started seeing other men following the end of their highly publicized age-gap romance.
Despite no longer being romantically involved, the pair are said to remain close friends and continue working together on their business ventures.
Belichick, the 74-year-old former New England Patriots head coach, began dating Hudson, now 25, in 2022. The two reportedly first crossed paths during a flight from Boston to Florida.
They were photographed together for the first time in January 2023, but waited until June 2024 to publicly confirm their relationship.
Their romance quickly became a frequent topic of public discussion, with the couple splitting their time between North Carolina—where Belichick coaches the UNC football team—and Nantucket.

A source close to Hudson told TMZ that the couple parted ways quietly in “late last year,” although it remains unknown which of them decided to end the relationship.
The report also claims Hudson has been “seeing other people” since the relationship ended. Belichick is 49 years older than his former partner.
The alleged breakup has raised questions because Hudson has remained a familiar presence at UNC games throughout the season. She was reportedly at the sidelines as recently as last weekend’s matchup with Syracuse in Chapel Hill.
Just one week earlier, Hudson joined Belichick for the team’s away game against Duke. The pair appeared cheerful as they walked off the field together, offering no obvious sign of a split.
They also appeared affectionate during a public outing at the Kentucky Derby in May, where they were photographed holding hands. Hudson later shared a picture with the caption, “Not the first time we’ve trudged through the mud together,” followed by a love heart.

The Kentucky Derby appearance took place months after the pair reportedly ended their relationship in late 2025.
During their time together, Hudson built a property portfolio valued at approximately $9 million, according to a previous report from the Daily Mail.
She has purchased at least four homes since meeting the former Patriots coach, including one property valued at around $3 million.
Hudson has reportedly paid off the mortgages on all of the properties. Her main residence is said to be a two-bedroom cottage in Cape Cod.
Records also show that she has registered 18 companies – several with names that suggest she had – or has – some control over Belichick’s affairs.
She had been operating as Belichick’s de facto manager during their relationship, and it appears she is still involved with his from a business perspective if not a romantic one.
Her control of his affairs hit the headlines most notably during a CBS Sunday Morning interview back in April 2025.

Hudson, sitting out of shot, muscled in on reporter Tony Dokoupil’s line of questioning about how the pair met, shouting out: ‘We’re not talking about this.’
CBS broadcast the multiple interruptions made by Hudson throughout the interview, with TMZ later reporting that she ‘walked out and delayed filming by 30 minutes’ and at one point even corrected Belichick while he was discussing football.
More recently, Belichick was forced to deny that Jordon has been ‘trying to control UNC’s football program’, calling the claims ‘ridiculous’ in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in September.
To reports she is involved in virtually everything he does, Belichick responded that that is a ‘flat-out lie’.
