Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson ignored the media attention and doubled down on their May-December romance over a fancy dinner in Nantucket.
The 72-year-old NFL legend and former cheerleader went on a double date with two friends at the secret private club, The Boarding House, on the New England island on Wednesday evening, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The unlikely couple was spotted at the Massachusetts summer destination earlier today, for the first time since their relationship was revealed last week.
Belichick has reportedly been dating Hudson since at least 2022, after his 16-year relationship with Linda Holliday, 62, ended.
And now, exclusive photos from DailyMail.com show the former college cheerleader and pageant queen wasn’t shy about showing a little PDA with her older pal, with Hudson holding onto his arm tightly as they left the restaurant Wednesday evening.
Hudson showed off her youthful and playful style, donning a white tank top paired with pink floral pants and wedge sandals.
She snuggled up to her much older boyfriend, who was wearing a blue linen shirt, blue jeans, and brown loafers.
The couple, who have a 48-year age gap, have kept a low profile since reports of their relationship hit the headlines.
But the two men seemed unfazed by the media attention Wednesday, laughing and hugging each other during and after their two-hour dinner.
Belichick even showed her new friend that chivalry isn’t dead by first dropping her and her two friends off at a restaurant, before parking nearby.
They enjoyed their meal before walking to a nearby ice cream shop for dessert, with Belichick staying in the car to take Hudson as soon as she was finished.
He even opened the door for her so she could get into the car and appeared to be trying to avoid the prying eyes of fans – walking away after a group of young boys spotted the NFL legend.
Hudson slipped his arm through Belichick’s as they left the exclusive restaurant, smiling and laughing at him as they strolled down the cobblestone street.
The existence of the club, which Hudson follows on social media, has remained so discreet that it is only accessible to certain members of the restaurant’s staff.
With a velvet blue interior and custom artwork, the basement establishment is part of the chic Boarding House and Pearl group of restaurants in central Nantucket.
Only investors or members can access the secret speakeasy, protected from prying eyes by a code-activated door.
The property reopened last spring after undergoing a renovation and has consistently denied allegations that it is a private club.
Blue Flag Partners representatives insisted the restaurants would be “open to the public,” but also open to “private group reservations.”
Despite their assurances, the speakeasy was still open in the basement, serving a limited number of patrons who could enjoy $28 oysters, $36 spicy tuna crispy rice with caviar, and $38 specialty cocktails.
Hudson was spotted again Thursday morning, this time without her much older boyfriend.
She was seen strolling alone in workout gear to Belichick’s favorite nearby market to buy an iced coffee, smiling at her phone as she returned to the property.
Neither seems to have a care in the world and openly flaunts their relationship on the exclusive island.
This comes after DailyMail.com revealed the first photos of the couple together, soaking up the sun on Belichick’s $225,000 powerboat, named VIII Rings for his eight Super Bowl titles (six as head coach in New England and the two he previously won as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator).
The two men holed up at one of the legendary NFL coaches’ lavish properties at his “resort” in Nantucket.
Belichick and Hudson stayed at one of his seven lavish properties he owns on the exclusive island, worth an estimated $3 million.
He currently owns at least seven properties on the island, six of them close to each other, forming a complex in Siasconet, worth a total of $15.7 million.
Belichick and Hudson are enjoying the sunny weather at the three-bedroom, three-bathroom property, which offers privacy from every angle.
This isn’t the first time Hudson has visited the island, posting on social media from the exclusive enclave in May.
The couple is currently on vacation with Belichick’s son Brian, his wife Callie and their young child.
His daughter-in-law Jennifer Schmitt is also staying at the resort with her young children, although it’s unclear whether her husband Steve has joined the family.
Brian and Steve married their spouses on the island, with Callie posing for photos in front of one of the properties.
Belichick originally purchased a home on the island in 1979 and has spoken of his love for the island.
Speaking to N Magazine in 2017, he said: “The island is spectacular. The people are great, the fishing, the bike trails, the lighthouses, the beach, the history — I mean, it has everything.
“It’s pretty hard to resist baked goods, especially muffins or cookies.”
This comes after DailyMail.com revealed footage of Belichick sneaking out of his girlfriend’s house in 2023 – months before their relationship was revealed.
Legendary quarterback Tom Brady mocked Ring footage showing the football coach doing a shirtless walk of shame during his roast in April.
Brady, who joked about his beloved coach doing the walk of shame on his Netflix roast, apparently had no idea the house belonged to Belichick’s new girlfriend.
Apparently unbeknownst to Tom — and his multimillion-strong Netflix audience — Belichick, 72, has been dating Hudson since 2022 after the couple met on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021, as reported TMZ.
The two men reportedly became friends over a philosophy project that Hudson – a student-athlete and entrepreneur – was working on at the time.
On Tuesday, the May-December couple were pictured in an uncovered selfie taken when they first met in February 2021, TMZ reported.
The two posed for a photo during their first meeting aboard a 2021 flight from Boston to Florida, where Belichick reportedly struck up a conversation about the book she was reading.
It was on this flight that Belichick also allegedly signed a “deductive logic” textbook that Hudson, then a 21-year-old student at Bridgewater State University, was studying.
Both had kept their relationship a secret after his long breakup with ex-girlfriend Lisa Holliday.
The Ring footage, believed to be from November last year, shows the New Haven legend shirtless, opening the front door of Hudson’s $800,000 Massachusetts property, in the early hours of the morning.
Belichick, who has won a total of eight Super Bowls, made a face at his former star player and looked uncomfortable during the show.
He spent 23 seasons as head coach of the New England Patriots, taking over the team the same year his current girlfriend was born.
Neither Belichick nor Hudson have commented on their relationship, although she attended Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony this week.
Belichick was spotted cheering her on during a cheerleading competition in March and posed for a photo with her during a work trip to Croatia on a boat.
The couple stayed in touch after their airline meeting, discussing the former Bridgewater State University student’s schoolwork and cheerleading routines.
They initially kept things low-key and were only briefly spotted on rare occasions, but TMZ claims Hudson secretly visited Gillette Stadium to support her man during the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Patriots.
Hudson even recently reportedly helped Belichick with his business endeavors.
Page Six broke the news that the NFL’s all-time great coach – who ended his legendary tenure with the Patriots earlier this year – had broken up with Holliday last September after a nearly 20-year long breakup. a year. ‘
After bidding an emotional farewell to the Patriots, Belichick failed to land another NFL job until the 2024-25 season.
Instead, he’s expected to become a regular on ESPN’s Monday Night Football show with Peyton and Eli Manning, before potentially returning to coaching when a position becomes available.
