Having left the New England Patriots in January and not finding a job in the months since, Belichick is enjoying the summer sun on Nantucket.
He and his girlfriend, 23-year-old cheerleader and former pageant competitor Jordan Hudson, were spotted together on Tuesday enjoying an evening bike ride together.
Enjoying the lush green landscape of Massachusetts Island, where Belichick has numerous homes, the couple spent about an hour cycling.
Photographed during the trip, Hudson could be seen wearing black pants, a pink single-strap top, a fanny pack and sunglasses.

Unsurprisingly, Belichick was left in his usual tank top and baggy shorts.
The couple appeared to be in good spirits, with Belichick even appearing to crack a wry smile at one point.
Hudson and Belichick reportedly met in 2021 during a flight from Boston to Florida, as per TMZ.
After teaming up on Hudson’s college philosophy project, they went their separate ways, with Belichick being in a long-term relationship with Linda Holliday at the time.

Belichick and Holliday eventually split in September 2023, after which he and Hudson got together.
Although they remain low-key, they were spotted together at one of Hudson’s cheerleading competitions in March.
A trip to Croatia followed in the summer, before Hudson joined Belichick at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony.
And it looks like the happy couple is going from strength to strength.
“He is a very happy man,” a source exclusively told The US Sun.
“He found a great person who makes him happy, that’s the most important thing.”
They even say they live together, according to TMZ.
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.

But while Belichick is apparently enjoying his time away from the game and focusing on his relationship, that doesn’t mean his time in the NFL is over.
It was recently reported that Belichick “wants to coach again,” according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero in Rich Eisen’s program.
Pelissero noted how involved Belichick has remained with the NFL, whether it’s Brady’s Netflix, along with “different events, in high school and at the Manning Passing Academy.”
“We saw him at the University of Washington, where his son Steve is now the defensive coordinator.”
This season, Belichick is also scheduled to appear on ESPN’s alternative Monday Night Football broadcast, ManningCast, along with CW’s Inside The NFL and The Pat McAfee Show.
