Where did she and Bill meet?

Belichick first hooked up with Hudson on a flight from the Boston area to Florida in 2021 while she was still in college, claims TMZ Sports.

The pair reportedly bonded over a philosophy project Hudson was working on at school at the time.

They reportedly exchanged contact information after landing and stayed in touch over the next few months as they discussed her schoolwork and cheerleading routines.

How long have they been dating?

After calling off his long-term romance with TV host Linda Holliday, Belichick’s relationship with Hudson quickly began to heat up.

It is believed that the two have been romantic for a while and are now considered an ‘item’ following his divorce from Holliday.

They initially kept it low-key and were only spotted briefly on rare occasions, but TMZ claims Hudson secretly visited Gillette Stadium to support Belichick during the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Patriots.

Their relationship has become more public lately, as Belichick was spotted in front of her at a cheerleading competition in Maryland earlier this year.

People at the game told TMZ that he kept to himself and sat in the back row after watching at least one of the team’s routines before leaving the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.

Belichick has also been spotted with Hudson on a business trip to Croatia, even attending Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony with him this week.

The couple’s romance is so well known in their inner circles that New England icon Rob Gronkowski even made a joke about it during Netflix’s Brady Roast last month.
