Former Partner Defends Cheerleader's Relationship with Bill Belichick Amid Criticism

24-year-old Jordon Hudson's relationship with 72-year-old former Patriots coach Bill Belichick has faced intense scrutiny and criticism, including accusations of her being a 'gold digger'. Hudson received support from her former boyfriend, 64-year-old businessman Joshua L. Zuckerman, who defended her character, stating she is wise beyond her years and urging critics to leave her alone. Hudson and Belichick met on a flight in 2021 and began their relationship in 2022 after Belichick's breakup with longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday. Media personalities and social media users have been vocal in their skepticism, with notable figures like Joy Behar of 'The View' making disparaging comments about the couple's age difference. Despite the criticism, Hudson's ex emphasized their shared intellectual interests and expressed regret over the public's harsh judgment.
