Things are heating up in Nantucket — and we’re not talking about the weather.
It seems like the romance between former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and ex-cheerleader Jordon Hudson is a lot more serious than many first believed.
The outlet also reported that since then, the couple has been inseparable while still managing to keep out of the public eye until recently.
Last week, Belichick, 72, was seen taking Hudson out for a morning cruise on his boat named VIII Rings — a not-so-subtle nod to the number of Super Bowl championships he has won as a coach and coordinator during his illustrious NFL career.
According to the report, the duo had been holidaying in one of the future football hall of famer’s seven properties on Nantucket, six of which make up a “compound” worth an estimated US$15.7 million.
The news outlet also reported that Belichick’s family has been vacationing on his properties while the couple has been there.
Hudson had previously posted snaps on social media from the exclusive island, though none featured Belichick.
The couple attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony earlier this month and were seen together in a video posted on social media. In the clip, Belichick is seen greeting several former Patriots players with Hudson in tow. Belichick’s daughter Amanda, 40, also appears in the video.
Fans have been going wild over the couple’s recently revealed relationship, which initially came to light after a report by TMZ earlier this month.
Belichick and Hudson, whose age gap is nearly a half century, reportedly have been dating since 2022.
The pair met on a flight from Boston to Florida and hit it off immediately, according to reports.
The two were said to have bonded on the flight over Hudson’s project on philosophy and the seven-time Super Bowl-winning coach went as far as to sign a copy of her textbook, Deductive Logic.
The duo exchanged contact information during the flight and maintained a friendly relationship as Belichick was still in a relationship with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday.
It was during this time that things between the couple reportedly became romantic.
In fact, it was reported last week by the Daily Mail that the viral footage of a man appearing to be a shirtless Belichick leaving a woman’s house early one November morning last year was in fact the coach.
Furthermore, the outlet confirmed that he was exiting the Massachusetts residence of Hudson.
