Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson are making it red carpet official!
The former head coach of the New England Patriots, 72, and the former college cheerleader 24, stepped out together at The Museum Gala at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024.
The outing marked their first major red carpet together. Belichick wore a classic black tux while Hudson coordinated in a black off-the-shoulder gown with high slit. Dangly earrings and strappy heels completed her elegant look.
The couple posed for photos before quickly moving on. Later in the evening, they cozied up while waiting in the pretzel and hot chocolate line, with Hudson rubbing Belichick’s back.
The celebrated NFL coach began seeing Hudson, 24, in early 2023 after his split from Linda Holliday, his girlfriend of 16 years. Hudson was a college student at the time and involved in her school’s cheerleading program. Prior to that, Belichick was married to Debby Clarke Belichick from 1977-2006, with whom he shares son Stephen and daughter Amanda.
“This is my formal petition for @BillBelichick to change his handle to @ BillyGoat !! Welcome to the ‘Gram, Billy!!!!” she wrote.
One month later in October, Hudson posted a lengthy carousel on Instagram of their summer adventures, which included traveling and golfing.
On Halloween, the couple posted a cheeky Halloween photo on the beach with Belichick dressed as a fisherman and reeling in Hudson, who donned a mermaid tail.
“My biggest catch!!!” Belichick wrote in her comments.
The Museum Gala is an annual fundraiser whose proceeds help support the Museum’s educational and scientific programming.
