Bill Belichick has his personal life in a bit of turmoil. According to Page Six, the famed Patriots coach and his longtime partner Linda Holliday have broken up. The boss’s love problems, though, are creating choppy waters surrounding his typically tranquil Nantucket living and are even causing team executives to become anxious.
Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl champion, has been dating Holiday since 2007, but rumors suggest that their breakup has been a protracted, back-and-forth affair for almost a year. According to sources, Holliday has been staying at home lately despite the breakup.
The fact that southern gal Holliday must have grown to love his New England hideaway, Nantucket, throughout their romance and is reluctant to leave the small island community just because she isn’t with Belichick complicates matters.
Holiday and her social media fiascos
She reportedly wants to stay put. A problematic scenario exists for commercial reasons as well because Holliday runs the Bill Belichick Foundation and has a reputation for oversharing on social media.
She gained notoriety in 2021 for criticizing Tom Brady while he was playing for his new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This fueled rumors that a falling out between Belichick and Brady had caused the most successful quarterback in history to leave the Patriots.
A supporter commented on Instagram after the Bucs won the championship, “Too bad Bill let Tom go!” and Holliday retaliated, “And you obviously have all the answers? Last night, Tom failed to score once! That game was won on defense. Were you even watching? “
Despite being a situation that NFL players often encounter, the fact that she has been with Belichick for an extended period of time suggests that she may possess insider information that could be potentially harmful to him. As they are not bound by marriage, Belichick is not legally required to provide her with any financial compensation. However, it is possible that they might need to offer her a sizeable sum of money as a settlement to ensure that she keeps quiet and doesn’t reveal any confidential information.
