Where did she and Bill meet?

Belichick first hit it off with Hudson on a flight from the Boston-area to Florida back in 2021 while she was in college, claims TMZ Sports.

The pair are said to have bonded over a philosophy project that Hudson had been working on at the time while in school.

They reportedly exchanged contact information after landing and kept in contact over the next few months while discussing her school work and cheerleading routines.

How long have they been dating?

After calling off his longtime romance with TV host Linda Holliday, Belichick's relationship with Hudson quickly began to heat up.

It is believed the two have been romantic for some time and are now considered an 'item' following his split from Holliday.

They initially kept things lowkey and were only briefly spotted on rare occasions, but TMZ claims Hudson secretly visited Gillette Stadium to support Belichick during the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Patriots.

Their relationship has become more public of late, with Belichick spotted rooting for her at a cheerleading competition in Maryland earlier this year.

People at the competition told TMZ that he kept to himself and sat in the back row after watching at least one of the team's routines before exiting the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.

Belichick has also been seen with Hudson on a work trip to Croatia, while she even attended Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony with him this week.

The couple's romance is so well known in their inner circles that New England icon Rob Gronkowski even cracked a joke about it during the Netflix's Brady Roast last month.
