Bill Belichick makes his first major red carpet appearance with his girlfriend Jordon Hudson

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson make the red carpet official!

The former New England Patriots head coach, 72, and the former college cheerleader, 24, appeared together at the Museum Gala at the American Museum of Natural History on Thursday, December 5, 2024 in New York City.

The outing marked their first major red carpet together. Belichick wore a classic black tuxedo, while Hudson wore a black off-the-shoulder dress with a high slit. Drop earrings and strappy heels completed her elegant look.

The couple posed for photos before quickly moving on. Later that evening, they got cozy while waiting in line with pretzels and hot chocolate while Hudson rubbed Belichick’s back.

The acclaimed NFL coach began dating Hudson, 24, in early 2023 after he split from Linda Holliday, his girlfriend of 16 years. Hudson was a student at the time and participated in her school’s cheerleading program. Belichick was previously married to Debby Clarke Belichick from 1977 to 2006, with whom he has son Stephen and daughter Amanda.

In September 2024, Hudson welcomed her boyfriend on Instagram when he joined the social media platform and shared a photo of the two petting a goat.

“This is my formal petition to @BillBelichick to change his name to @BillyGoat!! 🐐 Welcome to the ‘Gram, Billy!!!!” she wrote.

A month later, in October, Hudson posted a lengthy carousel on Instagram about her summer adventures, which included traveling and golfing.

On Halloween, the couple posted a cheeky Halloween photo on the beach in which Belichick was dressed as a fisherman and lured Hudson, who was wearing a mermaid tail.

“My biggest catch!!!” Belichick wrote in her comments.

The Museum Gala is an annual fundraiser whose proceeds help support the museum’s educational and scientific programs.
