Jordon Hudson is defending her and Bill Belichick’s romance on Valentine’s Day.
“Let’s take a deeper dive into the hot topic of the day… ‘LOVE’…,” Hudson, 24, wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 14, alongside a photo of her and Belichick, 72.
“‘What constitutes love?’ or ‘what makes someone worthy of loving?’ are questions that require a deep analysis and could possibly enable one to understand the romances that they may not understand nor relate to,” she continued. “With such a limited character count, I cannot dissect nor comprehensively answer these questions, but I will exclaim a few basic concepts.”
Hudson went on to list these concepts, writing that there “is no objective criteria for what constitutes someone’s worthiness of love,” noting “the ways in which we develop our biological preferences are deeply personal in which we owe no justification nor explanation.”
She then listed a litany on the functions of love, saying, “Love does not discriminate against sex, skin-color, religion, age, or ability,” it “does not fluctuate along with someone’s body weight,” it “does not lie within a perfect complexion,” and “Love is not as deep as one’s pockets.”
Hudson continued, “Love does not look the same every time you see it. People and relationships, like everything else, are impermanent; even though love is eternal. Love is not to be judged. It is never okay to harass or abuse a person based upon who they love.”
The former New England Patriots coach and Hudson sparked romance rumors in 2023 before she confirmed their relationship via Instagram in October 2024. Two months later, the couple made their red carpet debut at the American Museum of Natural History’s 2024 Museum Gala in New York.
Hudson and Belichick’s romance has turned heads for their 48-year age difference and their relationship has attracted its fair share of age-gap jokes. During the 2025 NFL Honors on February 6, Snoop Dogg poked fun at the pair during his opening monologue.
“I’ve been a football fan for a long, long time,” Dogg, 53, said. “I mean, I remember back when the [Dallas] Cowboys was good. I remember back when the [Kansas City] Chiefs was bad. And I remember when, what was it, Bill Belichick’s girlfriend wasn’t even born yet.”
When the camera panned to the couple, Hudson was seen opening her mouth in surprise before laughing at the remark while Belichick smiled, seeming largely unfazed by the quip.
It was reported by TMZ that the pair first met on a flight in 2021 while Hudson was still in college, though they weren’t spotted together publicly until 2023. In May 2024, details of their relationship came to the surface during The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady when former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski made a joke about the pair’s relationship. Gronkowski, 35, played for Belichick on the New England Patriots for nine seasons from 2009 to 2018.
“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked,” Gronk joked during the roast. “But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend.”
