The New England Patriots made possibly the most significant news to the football world at the end of the 2023 season. Back then, it was reported that the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick would part ways, with Jerod Mayo taking his place. After more than four decades of coaching in the NFL and sitting at the age of 72, Belichick deserves a beautiful retirement. Nobody could have predicted how great it would start for Belichick with the recent news about his new girlfriend.
Bill Belichick Reportedly Dating 24-Year-Old Cheerleader
Earlier Thursday, TMZ published a shocking allegation claiming Belichick is seeing someone precisely 1/3 his age! Belichick, 72, is reported to be seeing a 24-year-old cheerleader. Her name is Jordan Hudson, and they allegedly met on a flight to Florida three years ago. According to the story, the two tried to keep their connection a secret until Belichick retired. However, they appear to have made more public appearances together, such as Belichick’s trip to Croatia and Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
New England Patriots Players Knew?
While this news may be stunning for football fans, it did not seem to catch as many former Patriots players by surprise. One of the most notable examples of this is former Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski.
Gronkowski and Belichick were two of the most notable guests during the “Roast of Tom Brady” special on Netflix. When it was Gronkowski’s turn to speak, he did not hold back when it comes to Belichick. Gronkowski jokingly claimed that Belichick was scouting his new girlfriend from Foxborough High School, resulting in roaring laughter from the audience.
Bill Belichick’s Net Worth
Given the 48-year age disparity between Belichick and Hudson, financial motivation will undoubtedly come into play here. While Belichick’s actual salary is unknown, it is safe to assume he earned a lot of money while with the New England Patriots. So, how much is Belichick worth? According to one report, his net worth is approximately $70 million. The article also stated that Belichick earned more than $20 million per year toward the end of his time with the New England Patriots. Assuming these statistics are right, there should be plenty of money to fund a comfortable retirement.
