AceShowbiz - Jordon Hudson, known for her cheerleading and pageant competitions, has found herself in the center of media attention for her relationship with Bill Belichick, the legendary NFL coach. Hudson's ex, 64-year-old Joshua L. Zuckerman, has come forward to defend her amid swirling allegations and criticism.
"She is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I've ever met in my life," Zuckerman told TMZ. The businessman, who had an on-and-off relationship with Hudson, highlighted their deep connection over shared interests in psychology, philosophy, and nature, which underscores what he insists is her maturity.
Zuckerman and Hudson bonded over their love for intellectual discussions, a sentiment echoed by Belichick. Hudson reportedly hit it off with Belichick, 72, during a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021, where they discussed a philosophy book she was reading for her college class. Belichick even signed her book with a personal note and a list of his six Super Bowl titles.
Their relationship went public in 2022, shortly after Belichick's breakup with his on-again, off-again girlfriend of 10 years, Linda Holliday. Since then, the couple has been seen together at various events, from attending Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony to enjoying a getaway in Croatia. Recently, they were spotted in Nantucket, Massachusetts, boarding Belichick's $225,000 boat named "VIII Rings."
Zuckerman expressed his frustration with the negative portrayal of Hudson, stressing that the commentary on her being a gold digger is unfair. "The narrative about her character is not fair to her. I feel bad that she's caught up in this whirlwind," Zuckerman said.
He urged the public and media to respect their privacy, saying, "To be honest, I wish these internet trolls and paparazzi would leave her alone - and everyone else alone - and let them live their lives."
Despite the criticisms, Hudson and Belichick appear undeterred. They maintain a united front as they navigate the public eye. Hudson, for her part, continues her everyday activities, including attending cheerleading practice in Boston, where Belichick has been seen supporting her.
While their relationship has sparked controversy, those close to Hudson especially her much-older ex attest to her being non-judgmental and driven, albeit very private about her personal life. Her romances may defy conventions, but according to Zuckerman, they are built on mutual respect and shared interests, transcending the age gap that has drawn so much attention.
