Bill Belichick, the famously former head coach of the New England Patriots, was recently spotted flashing a rare smile in a photo of his first encounter with girlfriend Jordon Hudson on a plane. The photo, which quickly went viral on social media, showed the couple looking happy and relaxed as they enjoyed their time on the plane.
Many fans were shocked to see Belichick, known for his intense focus and no-nonsense attitude on the football field, looking so carefree and happy in the photo. It was a side of the coach that few had ever seen before, and it quickly became a hot topic of conversation among sports fans and gossip bloggers alike.
The ex-Patriots head coach, 72, whose romance with the former cheerleader, 24, was revealed earlier this month, could be seen wearing a Rutgers sweatshirt beside a smiling Hudson, who sported a white shirt.
Belichick was taken with Hudson’s philosophy project at the time of their first exchange, according to TMZ, with the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach for the Patriots even autographing a copy of her textbook, “Deductive Logic.”
“Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!” Belichick wrote before signing his name.
He also listed the Super Bowls he won with the Patriots: 36, 38, 39, 49, 51 and 53.
Belichick’s relationship with Hudson turned romantic following his breakup with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday.
Page Six reported in September 2023 that Belichick and Holliday had “been involved in a drawn-out, back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year.”
Of course, Belichick and Hudson have kept their relationship relatively private, so it’s unlikely that we’ll be seeing too many more photos of them together in the future. But for now, at least we have this one snapshot of the couple looking happy and in love – a side of Bill Belichick that few ever expected to see.
