In a subtle defense of her controversial romance, Jordon Hudson, the 23-year-old cheerleader, took to her personal Facebook on Friday to address the criticism surrounding her nearly 50-year age gap with her boyfriend, former New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick, who is 72.

The exchange on Facebook occurred when a critic commented on one of Hudson's public posts, accusing her of being a "gold digger with an old pedophile." However, another person swiftly came to Hudson's defense, questioning the critic's right to pass judgment. The defender further pointed out that such comments are often made by individuals who have not accomplished much in life and resort to insults.

Interestingly, Hudson "liked" these remarks, showing her appreciation for the supportive defense. This is the first reaction she has had in response to the public's views on her controversial relationship, which was recently revealed to the public.

TMZ reported that Hudson and Belichick had been discreetly dating since 2022, shortly after his split from Linda Holliday, his on-again, off-again girlfriend of over 10 years. The pair apparently met in 2021 on a flight from Florida to Boston, where Belichick signed Hudson's college textbook with his autograph.

Since the news broke, the couple has faced significant criticism. Notably, Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports and a devoted Patriots fan, expressed his surprise and disapproval with a comment that read, "Yikes. Ew. Wow." However, there has been one person defending Hudson and Belichick - Hudson's previous boyfriend, Joshua L. Zuckerman, who is 64 years old. Zuckerman described Hudson as "wise beyond her years" and urged internet trolls and paparazzi to leave the couple alone.

Despite requests for comment, Hudson has not yet responded to inquiries from Page Six.

As the public continues to buzz about their relationship, time will tell how the couple navigates the challenges and scrutiny that come with their significant age difference.
