Bill Belichick’s former players aren’t the only ones commenting on the legendary Patriots coach’s May-December romance.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, who faced Belichick twice a year while quarterbacking the Jets, Bills and Dolphins at different points in his NFL career, dropped a cheeky reply Wednesday as photos circulated of the future Hall of Famer’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, dressed in a Halloween costume inspired by the Super Bowl winner.
“For all you 48 year old hopeless romantics out there just think your future person may not even be born yet,” Fitzpatrick, 41, posted on X.
Hudson — whose relationship with Belichick, 72, was revealed in June — sported a Giants T-shirt and white shorts while celebrating the holiday with friends, according to photos obtained by TMZ.
The look appeared to emulate Belichick’s days as the Giants’ defensive coordinator, a role he held from 1985 to 1990.
Belichick won two Super Bowls while on Big Blue’s staff and added six more championships while at the helm for the Patriots.
He and the organization parted ways in January after 24 seasons.
Since missing out on a head coaching job this hiring cycle — he interviewed for the Falcons’ gig that went to Raheem Morris — Belichick has been making the most of his time as an NFL analyst, contributing weekly to ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show” and the “ManningCast.”
He’s also been enjoying quality moments with Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader.
Belichick’s relationship with Hudson captivated much of the NFL community when news broke over the summer, with Patriots alums Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman chiming in on the receiver’s “Games with Names” podcast.
“He always told us there’s three things out there that don’t get caught up in,” the retired tight end said to Edelman, who then called out the “trifecta” of “alcohol,” “a–holes” and “girls.”
“And now he’s all caught up with the girls,” Gronkowski exclaimed. “We love you, coach, we love you.”
With Belichick’s loathed Jets hosting the Texans in Week 9 on Halloween night, it remains to be seen if Fitzpatrick, who is part of Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football” coverage, will look to a certain eight-time Super Bowl winner for costume inspiration as well.
Fitzpatrick played in the NFL for 17 seasons before retiring in 2022.
