Former NFL star Mark Schlereth has added his voice to the growing criticism of the relationship between 72-year-old football coach Bill Belichick and 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
During an appearance on Denver Sports 104.3 last week, the three-time Super Bowl champion expressed his disapproval of the couple’s large age gap.
“It’s disgusting and appalling,” Schlereth said. “He was 48 when she was born. What is wrong with someone who is in a position of power and takes advantage of that?”
Mark Schlereth shared his thoughts on Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson.
The relationship between Belichick and Hudson has sparked intense discussions and scrutiny since it was revealed earlier this month.
However, Hudson’s ex-boyfriend, 64-year-old Joshua Zuckerman, has defended her, telling TMZ Sports, “I feel bad that she’s caught up in this whirlwind.”
Zuckerman described Hudson as “wise beyond her years” and someone with whom he shared interests in business, psychology, and philosophy.
The couple reportedly met on a flight from Boston to Florida and connected over philosophy.
The former Bridgewater State University cheerleader has been staying with Belichick at his Nantucket home.
Belichick and Hudson were seen on Nantucket after their relationship became public.
According to TMZ, Belichick and Hudson met on a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021 and bonded over a philosophy project Hudson was working on.
An unearthed selfie shows the two posing together during their first encounter. Their relationship reportedly turned romantic after Belichick’s break-up with his previous partner, Lisa Holliday.
