But NBA icon O’Neal, 52, is happy that the former New England Patriots coach has found love.
“Good for him. He only has 10 more summers. He’ll be 80,” he said on his Great Podcast.
“If he still has enough game to have a 20-year-old.
“If he still has the blue boys, more power to him. I’m happy for him.”
Belichick and Hudson’s romance was kept secret until it made headlines recently
Tight end Pharaoh Brown, who played for the Pats last year, says he didn’t find the beauty.
“One thing about Bill is he keeps football, football,” Brown he told TMZ Sports.
“He is living his life. You have to keep the main thing the main thing, and he always did that when I was there.

“I never met her. I still never saw her. Never anything of that nature when I was there.”
There have been many critics about the age difference, but Brown is not one of them.
“He is one of the greatest coaches because he maintains professionalism and knows how to keep the main thing as the main thing,” he added.
“When you step onto the football field, it’s always football. Personal life is personal life, and my opinion is that he is living his life and everyone lives their lives how they want.
“There are no hard feelings.
“I don’t really think about age when we grow up.
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 present 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.

“I just turned 30 and I’ve been telling people my body looks 26 years old.
“If he’s in love, if he’s happy, that’s all you can hope for from another man, from another human, from anyone.”
Belichick and Hudson were together in Nantucket last month and she was also seen in a Porsche he bought her as a gift.
Hudson is believed to have arrived at Tom Brady’s induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame this month at Gillette Stadium in the $75,000 car.
Belichick was dating Linda Holliday.
TMZ reported that Belichick and Hudson have been living together for months.
