Travis Kelce recently weighed in on Bill Belichick’s headline-making relationship with his 23-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, calling the former NFL coach a “smooth operator” during a podcast episode. The Kansas City Chiefs player almost mistakenly referred to Hudson as Belichick’s daughter until his brother, Jason Kelce, interrupted and asked him not to go there, prompting Travis to acknowledge that Belichick is “killing it” in the relationship. News of the 72-year-old’s romance with Hudson surfaced nearly two weeks ago, revealing that they met on a flight in 2021, and have been living together in Belichick’s Hingham, Mass., home since the beginning of the year.
The retired New England Patriots legend had previously split from longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday in 2023 before starting a relationship with Hudson. While the couple has not publicly addressed their connection, Hudson recently responded to a Facebook comment asking for haters not to judge their age difference, indicating that she is aware of the speculation surrounding their relationship. Travis Kelce’s comments on Belichick’s love life came during a discussion on the “New Heights” podcast episode, where he and his brother also talked about Taylor Swift’s London Eras Tour concert and meeting Prince William.
Dave Portnoy also discussed Belichick’s relationship on his “BFFs” podcast, noting the significant age gap between the couple and expressing that he does not judge others for their relationships. Even Tom Brady made a joke about Belichick leaving Hudson’s home shirtless in November 2023, acknowledging the Ring camera footage that showed the incident. Despite the humor surrounding Belichick’s love life, Brady shared his respect for the former coach during a roast, recognizing his accomplishments in the NFL and in his personal life.
The Kelce brothers did not dwell on Belichick’s romantic life for too long, quickly moving on to other topics during their podcast episode. While the news of Belichick’s relationship with Hudson has garnered attention in the media, the couple has chosen to maintain a relatively private stance on their connection. With speculations and jokes circulating about their age difference and how they met, Belichick and Hudson have yet to comment on the details of their relationship. The Kelce brothers, along with other public figures like Tom Brady and Dave Portnoy, have shared their thoughts on the situation, emphasizing the importance of not judging others based on their personal choices.
