NFL legendary coach Bill Belichick is reportedly dating a 24-year-old former cheerleader after breaking up with his long-time partner Linda Holliday less than a year ago.

Belichick and Holliday broke up before the last NFL season, bringing an end to their 16 years together.

The pair never married, but Holliday was a regular feature by Belichick's side throughout his time as the head coach of the New England Patriots.

They started dating in 2007 after his divorce from Debby Clarke before the relationship reportedly came to an end in September last year.

Now Belichick has supposedly struck up a new relationship with a former competitive cheerleader named Jordon Hudson.

According to TMZ Sports, Hudson and Belichick have 'been romantic for a while now'.

It's claimed the pair have known each other for several years after first meeting on a flight back in 2021.

The report points to two occasions they were both spotted out in public together with suggestions they sparked up a relationship as far back as the 2022 season.

Hudson was also said to have been in attendance for Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Rob Gronkowski even hinted at the relationship during Netflix's 'The Roast of Tom Brady'.

"Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked," he joked.

"But now I know why you're so obsessed with Foxborough High School. You were scouting - you're new girlfriend.

"I mean coach, my joke wasn't fucked up but that's fucked up. You're 73 years old.

"You should be trying to bang someone your own age."

Belichick left the Patriots at the start of the year and met with the Atlanta Falcons about their vacancy, but they opted to hire Raheem Morris instead.

That left him without a head coaching job ahead of the 2024 season and he has signed up to become a recurring guest on ESPN during their coverage.

It's also been suggested that Belichick will sign a book deal worth millions in the near future.
