ESPN Panel Loses It Over Bill Belichick’s Photoshoot With Girlfriend

LAUGH LINE

Stephen A. Smith laughed uncontrollably as the “First Take” panel discussed the viral pics.

ESPN stars Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe could not contain themselves on Monday’s episode of First Take, laughing uncontrollably at viral photos of Bill Belichick and his 23-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. The 72-year-old raised eyebrows in a photo posted to Instagram that showed Belichick balancing Hudson in the air with his legs during a recent trip to Florida. “He’s 73!” Smith, 57, declared through laughter, questioning what could possibly be giving Belichik such energy. “Bill Belichick, whatever he’s on, keep taking it. He’s on something,” Smith continued. “I’m not mad at him at all. I want to know what it is,” adding, “He’s living the good life.” According to People, the couple met in early 2023 after Belichick and his longtime girlfriend of 16 years, Linda Holliday, broke up. Belichick first met Hudson, the magazine reported, in February 2021 while Hudson was still in college. “#SpringBreak #UsTime #StillGotIt,” Hudson captioned Saturday’s post, taken on the couple’s spring break vacation in south Florida. Belichick is 48 years her senior.
