Bill Belichick’s Girlfriend Still Believes in Santa

By Tatum Price

NANTUCKET, Mass.—Former New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick brought his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, to the Nantucket Christmas Stroll to “meet Santa,” sources tell End of the Bench. 

Hudson recently posted a giddy photo of the two on Instagram with the caption, “Lost my stroll-ginity this weekend. #overmyexmas #SleighQueen" 

When asked outside the three-day event, Hudson told press members her favorite part was “sitting on the real Santa’s lap.” When asked to clarify what she meant by “the real Santa,” Belichick gave the press a wink while smiling for the cameras.

The couple first met on a flight from Boston to Florida, where Hudson informed Belichick she was a college student, competitive cheerleader, and believer in Christmas miracles. The 72-year-old then whispered in her ear, “If Santa’s not riding in his sleigh, he’s flying first class.” 

The two exchanged numbers and saw each other privately for a year before making it official on the red carpet at the Natural History Museum Gala last year. Hudson describes their relationship as “a gift that keeps on giving”—having driven to the event in her new $75,000 Porsche. 

The holiday trip to Massachusetts has been on Hudson’s Christmas list ever since she was little. 

“Every year, my Grandma would tell us a story about the real Santa visiting Nantucket and how she always wanted to go back before she passed on,” Hudson said. “That’s when I knew this was the perfect place to take Bill.”

For Christmas, the recent graduate said she asked Santa for 2025 NFL season tickets but tells End of the Bench, "Santa thinks I’ll have more fun at college games instead.” 

Unrelated news: Belichick is now the head coach at the University of North Carolina.

Though having a girlfriend who still believes in Santa doesn't seem logical, Belichick considers her ideologies inspiring.

“She’s wise beyond her years. She believes in mermaids, too.”

The happy couple plans to celebrate Christmas alone, as his children aren’t ready to meet a girlfriend who’s younger than all of them. 

“I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus,” his daughter Amanda noted. “She literally calls herself Mommy around the house. It’s weird.” 

The former head coach’s three kids instead plan to comfort their mother on Christmas, as she’s been “drinking too much eggnog and lighting gingerbread houses on fire.”

Despite the lack of family time, Hudson still remains giddy over meeting “the real Santa,” adding that she “forgot to mention one little thing.”

“A ring,” she added with a chuckle. 

Having seen many of Belichick’s Super Bowl rings, Hudson wants one of her own. 

“I don’t have any room left on my fingers,” Belichick was quick to point out. “Maybe Santa will bring me a prenup instead.”

End of the Bench will have more on this story after we set out some cookies and milk.
