The New Yorker:

Belichick always kept tight control of his dealings and a considerable distance from the press. Then he began dating a much younger woman named Jordon Hudson.

By Louisa Thomas

Chapel Hill, took the title of his new book, “The Art of Winning,” from “The Art of War,” an ancient Chinese treatise about military strategy, attributed to Sun Tzu. But he drew inspiration, apparently, from a woman named Jordon Hudson, whom he calls, in the book’s acknowledgements, his “idea mill and creative muse.”

Belichick’s fondness for “The Art of War” is well known: for a time, the only sign in the New England Patriots’ locker room was a quote from it—“Every battle is won before it is fought”—and he liked to refer to Sun Tzu when explaining his coaching principles. But it’s his fondness for Hudson that, lately, has made him the talk of TMZ. Hudson, Belichick’s girlfriend, is not just an idea mill; she is also a twenty-four-year-old ex-cheerleader, the second runner-up in the 2025 Miss Maine pageant, and a former philosophy student at Bridgewater State University. She met Belichick on a JetBlue flight, in 2021; he wrote her a note and an autograph in a textbook she was reading (“Deductive Logic,” by the Harvard professor Warren Goldfarb). He was sixty-nine at the time; she was, reportedly, twenty, though some sleuthing by the podcast “Pablo Torre Finds Out” suggests that she may have been nineteen. They reportedly started dating two years later.
