Though Tom Brady was the man of the hour at his Patriots Hall of Fame induction over the weekend, his former coach Bill Belichick also drew quite a bit of attention.
The eight-time Super Bowl winning coach, 72, who retired in January after 24 seasons with the New England football team, raised some eyebrows over his significantly younger plus one.
It has been widely reported that the NFL legend's date for the event was his rumored new girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, who is almost 50 years his junior.
Jordon, 24, is a former competitive cheerleader. In her Instagram bio, she describes herself as a "glamorous girl scout" as well as a philosopher and entrepreneur, and she is a 2021 NCA Collegiate Champion.
Earlier this year, she also shared on Instagram her status as Miss Hancock USA, when she shared photos from the Miss Maine USA pageant in March.
"What a cool coincidence that we were able to spend International Women's Day together; reinforcing bonds and creating new ones. Our coming together to support each other's goals is what the entirety of this industry is about. I'm so proud to be a part of it," she wrote at the time.
