Last week, it was reported that former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, 72, is dating Jordon Hudson, a 24-year-old cheerleader.
The two have been seen together since reports surfaced, all but confirming their relationship (as did Rob Gronkowski at Tom Brady's roast).

But with the age difference has come a lot of questions, many of which are unnecessary, says none other than Hudson's ex-boyfriend, Joshua Zuckerman, 64.
Zuckerman squashed any speculation that Hudson is dating Belichick simply for money and fame.
“She's wise beyond her years, wiser than any 20-something I've ever met in my life,” Zuckerman told TMZ. “Her narrative about her character is not fair to her.”

“I've been getting calls all over from news stations about my relationship with Jordon Hudson. I've been involved with Jordon platonically and romantically and consider her a good friend. I feel bad that she's caught up in this whirlwind,” Zuckerman. aggregate.
Zuckerman said he and Hudson “regularly discuss business and share interests in psychology, philosophy and, most importantly, our love of nature.” Belichick is rumored to have signed Hudson's college textbook when they met, and they initially bonded over similar themes.
But at the end of the day, Zuckerman wants what's best for Hudson, and that's for her to live her best life with Belichick.
“To be honest, I wish these internet trolls and paparazzi would leave her (and everyone else alone) alone and let them live their lives.”
