Bill Belichick Has A Girlfriend
Bill Belichick (72) is apparently dating a woman named Jordan Hudson (24).
Love comes in all kinds of forms, and can blossom in so many ways. You can never tell what sort of things can bring people together, and as long as everyone is a consenting adult, it’s fine. Age gaps mean less and less the older you get. Love is magical and wonderful and I hope each and every one of you gets a chance to experience it.
On the other hand, yikes-a-rooni! She’s 24 Bill!
I’m 36. I’ve on many occasions joked with my wife (also 36, but a few months less, which she loves to remind me of) that we would not be able to date our 22-year-old selves as we stand now. Whenever we read about age gaps that’s pretty much the first thing we joke about. I couldn’t even imagine dating a 22 year old when I was like, 29. It sounded exhausting. Your 20’s is your first decade as an adult, and you go through a lot of change and maturity. Maybe not as much change as your teen years, but it’s not like you hit 21 and you are the person you will be for the rest of your life. Early 20-somethings still kinda look like children to me. I cannot fathom dating a 24 year old at the age of 72. What do you even talk about at the dinner table? How do you go on dates with someone who is almost literally half the age of your own daughter (Bill’s oldest child was born in 1984). Shared interests can certainly exist between people of such an age gap (maybe she’s also really into football history, you never know) but I can barely relate to my own grandparents sometimes, people I’ve known and been close to my whole life. There are limits.
I saw a tweet that said ( I can’t find it now) something along the lines of “imagine your kid brings home her new boyfriend for thanksgiving and it’s fucking Bill Belichick”. How would you react to that as a parent? How does Bill’s family feel seeing him go out with someone that could feasibly be a grandchild to him? I’m not 72 and a famous rich football legend so I can’t say for sure, but it’s hard to not get icked out.
Let me know in the comments if your significant other is your grandpa and that I’m just close-minded.
Isn’t the general rule of thumb for “acceptable” age gap in a relationship something like half plus seven, where you take the age of the older party, cut it in half, then add seven, and the answer is the minimum age you’re able to date that isn’t *creepy* creepy?
So for the 72 year old Belichick, half plus seven would be 43. Which is weird but, yeah not nearly as creepy as 24.
That’s the old XKCD rule in any case: https://xkcd.com/314/
I obviously don’t know anything about Ms. Hudson, but the theoretical version of her that is dating him for the money feels like a much more normal person than the theoretical version of her that is really into him. I cannot fathom how much of a football freak she would have to be to want to date Belichick.
She probably mentioned something about watching a family member or friend playing in a Wing-T Offense and Bill fell in love on the spot.
Honestly, I think the issues with age gaps are overblown so long as the younger person is at least 21, however, it’s the power dynamic people should be more worried about. Can something be exploited? Take Jack Horner for example (the guy who Alan Grant from Jurassic Park is based off of and the guy who discovered and named the alliosaurus skeleton) he married one of his 20 something year old PHD students when he was in his 70s, that can either make her doctorate harder or easier.
It is a legal relationship between two consenting adults (I presume). That is all I’m gonna say.
I mean, yeah, but dating someone at least a decade younger than any of your own kids is fucking weird.
I remember reading a UCLA research paper a while back (and by a while, I mean “Jordon Hudson wasn’t yet in grade school at the time”) that said that the adult capacity for reason develops between the ages of 17-25. There’s a HUGE gap in what a 20-year-old’s brain and a 25-year-old’s brain can do, in other words.
I can’t imagine dating anyone under 30, now. On the other hand, maybe when I’m in my 70s, it’ll seem different. “I only have a decade or so to live left, so fuck it.”
he is literally three times her age lmao
Bill loves her because she never saw how badly the Patriots sucked pre Tom Brady, because she wasn’t alive yet.

We see it a lot more commonly with the ultra wealthy and famous. Mick Jagger, Al Pacino and the like.
You have menopause and Viagra working the elderly folks in two different directions.
OK, but what if she’s just REALLY into special teams?

Perfect reply. They met at a coffeeshop while she was boring her friend about the new kickoff rules and how they’ll impact the game.
I am picturing this and cracking up.
The relationship has been described as Icy then Hot.
Bill was told that the pair of them make a special team and he can’t stop talking about her now.
Bill sees nothing wrong with the age differences, ever since they loosened the jersey rules seeing 72 next to 24 is normal.
You may think it’s a large age gap, but Bill would never out kick his coverage
Irrelevant, but: Bills plays for the Bills.
Bills’ Bills bills Bills’ Bills bills.

Not only that, she’s going with a guy whose team lost a SB to a 9-7 team.
