JORDON Hudson’s former beauty pageant friends were shocked to learn she was dating Bill Belichick.
The former cheerleader, 24, matched with the NFL legend, 72, after he split from his longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday.
They have been together for over a year, but some of their friends learned about the relationship when it made headlines last week.
“I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend — I heard from people that she’s kind of interested in dating,” a former Miss Massachusetts Teen USA 2020 contestant told New York Post Office.
“I’m so curious to know how this happened. He’s old enough to be her grandfather!
“She’s not shy – wanting to be the center of attention is one thing, but dating someone in their 70s is another.
“I didn’t know she would go this far to do it for fame.”
Another friend suggested that Hudson may have met Belichick on the exclusive dating app Raya.
“She’s not a pageant girl,” she told New York Post Office.
“The rule for Miss USA is that you can compete in two states per year.

“She competed for Maine and was scheduled to compete for Alaska [but] she gave up. I don’t know if it has anything to do with this news that’s coming out.
“I was shocked – not so much because of my age [difference] but I don’t know in what world Bill Belichick would be on a commercial plane.
“My guess is they met on a dating app, maybe Raya, or a high-end dating app.”
Belichick signed Hudson’s book on Deductive Logic on a flight in 2021.
He was caught running away from a house on a Ring camera last year – and the residence is believed to belong to his girlfriend.
It was reported by Daily Mail what Belichick was captured leaving his home in Massachusetts last November.
Circular camera footage caught the 72-year-old leaving his home shirtless.
The disadvantages of being in a relationship with a large age difference
Dr. Jenn Mann, MFT, a licensed therapist, reveals the main problems experienced by romantic partners with a huge age gap between them.
Mann said it can initially be exciting when one partner is much younger than the other, like Bill Belichick, 72, and Jordon Hudson, 24, who share a whopping 48-year age difference.
“When people get older, they may think it’s refreshing that a young girl is looking at them adoringly and is attracted to them and is interested in him,” he said. Dr. told The US Sun.
“[But] there is a huge gap in life experience – in just a few years on this planet, in how it helps us evolve, develop and mature.”
“Even the most mature young person, when there is a 40-year age difference, the older people are incredibly immature.
“You are not in the middle ground when it comes to development and life experience.”
Dr. Mann said a common consideration for older male partners would be the younger woman wanting a father figure.
“Typically, younger women are attracted to much older men because of unresolved issues with their parents,” Dr. Mann added.
“This could be a lack of attention, a lack of love, someone not being there, or even someone being in the house but not being there as they would like them to be.”
Dr. Mann noted that sexual and intimacy issues may begin to come into play as the older partner may not have as much energy.
What’s more, for older men, “it typically becomes more difficult to get and keep an erection,” she said.
“There are issues related to sexual performance, which can create other risks when it comes to taking medications for sexual performance.”
Socially, Dr. Mann suggested that problems can arise between a couple when they mix with friends from different generations.
“In this case, if they are with Bill’s friends in their seventies or even sixties and fifties, a 24-year-old woman at that table will probably have a hard time finding common ground socially,” she said.

Belichick opened and closed the door to the residence before walking down the front porch of the property.
Patriots icon Rob Gronkowski was dropping hints about the relationship before it went public.
Gronk made jokes on the Roast of Tom Brady about Belichick and young women.
“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we were terrible,” Gronk said.
“But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were looking for your new girlfriend.”
