Bill Belichick's love life has been a hot topic in the sports world over the past few weeks and Cam Newton addressed it at the ESPYs last week.
Newton interviewed athletes on the red carpet before the ESPN awards show and reached out to former New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who joined the Jacksonville Jaguars in the offseason. He asked Jones about Belichick's relationship with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson.

“I have to ask this former coach what his pick of a partner is right now. What are we doing? Do we approve of him?” asked Newton, who also briefly played with Belichick.
Jones said he needed Newton's opinion first.
“I'm like… No, I don't approve of it. I'm not even gonna lie, but watching him do what he's doing is like…” Newton said while acting surprised.

Jones said “good for him” and downplayed the entire ordeal surrounding the legendary 72-year-old NFL coach.
Belichick and Hudson have been dating for about a year, according to the New York Post. The two were spotted in the New England area celebrating the Fourth of July holiday earlier this month.
Newton and Jones were on the same Patriots team during the former Alabama standout's first training camp. However, Jones won the starting job over Newton and the veteran quarterback was released.
Newton rejoined the Carolina Panthers that season.
