Jordon Hudson, a 24-year-old former cheerleader, caused quite a stir on social media when she posted an Instagram video referring to her boyfriend, 73-year-old ex-NFL coach Bill Belichick, as her “old bae.” In the video, the couple is seen enjoying chicken wings seasoned with Old Bay, with Hudson cheekily captioning the post as “Old Bay with my old bae.” The post also featured emojis of a grinning face with sweat, a red heart, and heart hands, along with the song “So This Is Love” from Cinderella playing in the background.
Despite receiving backlash from some social media users who criticized her for the age gap between her and Belichick, others found the joke to be funny and praised the couple’s relationship. Some even encouraged Hudson to ignore the negativity and focus on their love. Belichick, who recently turned 73, has been in the spotlight with Hudson amid engagement rumors, especially after making a significant change to his boat’s name from VIII Rings to I + VIII Rings, possibly hinting at a future proposal.
The couple first went public with their May-December romance in 2024 after meeting on a flight in 2021. Since then, they have been seen supporting each other publicly, with Belichick even defending Hudson during a recent interview and praising her for her support in his life outside of football. Despite facing criticism and engagement rumors, the couple seems to be focused on their relationship and enjoying each other’s company.
