Bill Belichick used a different kind of X’s and O’s during his first encounter with now-girlfriend Jordon Hudson three years ago.
The ex-Patriots coach, 72, whose relationship with the 24-year-old Hudson was first revealed last week, autographed a textbook belonging to the former cheerleader during a February 2021 flight from the Boston area to Florida, according to images published Tuesday by TMZ.
“Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!” the message inside “Deductive Logic” read above Belichick’s signature.
TMZ previously reported how Belichick and Hudson forged a connection over a philosophy project she had been working on.
Their friendship turned romantic following Belichick’s breakup with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday.
Page Six exclusively reported in September 2023 that Belichick and Holliday, a TV presenter, had split after more than a decade together.
The exes were said to have “been involved in a drawn-out, back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year.”
Months after Belichick’s split with Holliday was reported, the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach of the Patriots parted ways with the team after 24 seasons.
He returned to Gillette Stadium last week to support his former quarterback, Tom Brady, who was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame and had his No. 12 jersey retired.
Hudson was also in attendance and posted a photo on her Instagram Story from the festivities.
Belichick won six championships alongside Brady in New England before the future Hall of Famer took his talents to Tampa Bay after the 2019 season.
He won his seventh Super Bowl as a member of the Buccaneers in 2021.
Brady, who retired in 2023 after 23 seasons, praised Belichick in his Patriots Hall of Fame speech over their storied legacy.
“To coach Belichick, thank you for your tireless commitment to develop and push me to be my very best,” Brady said, according to Pro Football Talk. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t you, it was us.”
