Former New England tight end Pharaoh Brown revealed that Patriots players were unaware of Bill Belichick’s 23-year-old girlfriend last season, as the coach never mentioned her. Speaking to TMZ Sports, Brown said Belichick was entirely focused on football during Brown’s one season in Foxborough, without discussing his relationship with Jordon Hudson.
Brown praised Belichick’s professionalism, saying, “One thing about Bill Belichick, he’s one of the greatest coaches because he keeps it professional. He knows how to keep the main thing the main thing.”

Belichick and Hudson met on a plane in 2021, and after his split with Linda Holliday in 2022, they began dating. Hudson moved into Belichick’s Hingham, Mass. home around the start of the new year.
Despite their relationship, Brown said the Patriots players were unaware of it. He added that he wouldn’t have minded if it had come up during the season, saying, “Everybody lives their life how they want to live their life. There’s no hard feelings.”
Brown, now with the Seattle Seahawks, wished the couple well, saying, “My whole thing in life is like everybody finds love and be happy. If he’s in love and he’s happy, that’s all you can want for another man.”
