BILL Belichick’s relationship with cheerleader Jordon Hudson, 24, is destined not to last, according to friends of the couple.
The 72-year-old former New England Patriots coach raised eyebrows following his romance with Hudson, who is 48 years his junior.
And sources have warned that Belichick is at risk of becoming “in love” with the former Bridgewater State University cheerleader.
“If I had the options with attractive young women that Bill does, who knows what would happen,” a source told People.
“All I can say is that we enjoyed [ex-girlfriend Linda Holliday] and thought they were a great couple. They were good together.
“It was surprising to us and others when they actually broke up. But there was something more on the horizon for him.

“So you are as well known as Bill and are constantly exposed to temptation, so the door is open for trouble.”
Belichick and Holliday’s longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday broke up last September, just days before the NFL’s big kickoff.
The couple had been dating since 2007.
Belichick was married to ex-wife Debby from 1977 until their separation in 2006.

Meanwhile, the NFL icon and Hudson met on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021.
Sources reported that Belichick took an interest in the school work Hudson was working on at the time and they hit it off from there.
The couple reportedly talked about Hudson’s Deductive Logic book and Belichick signed the book for her.
“Thanks for giving me a logic course!” he wrote inside the cover.
On that flight they exchanged contact information and stayed in touch after going their separate ways.
It’s unclear when things got romantic between the two, but news of their relationship broke earlier this month.
“Jordon is bright, ambitious and very well organized,” added a source.
“It’s easy to see that Bill could fall in love with her.
“She is young, attractive and interesting.
“I don’t know what she wants from him, but they seem to like each other and like to do a lot of the same things.”
But the source doesn’t see the relationship as “a serious, long-term thing.”
Belichick and Hudson kept their relationship a secret for months, but former Patriot Rob Gronkowski did his best to ruin things for them.
At the Roast of Tom Brady and Brady Hall of Fame ceremony, Gronk made jokes about Belichick’s relationship.
“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we were terrible,” Gronk said at the roast.
“But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were looking for your new girlfriend.”
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 gap.
“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 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.
