During former New England tight end Pharaoh Brown’s time with the Patriots, he reveals that players were completely unaware of their coach’s romantic relationship with Jordon Hudson. Brown explains that Belichick maintained a strict focus on football and never mentioned his personal life during team interactions. This dedication to keeping the main thing, the main thing, impressed Brown as a testament to Belichick’s professionalism.
Belichick and Hudson’s relationship began unexpectedly after they met on a plane ride in 2021. Following Belichick’s split with Linda Holliday in 2022, he and Hudson started dating. Despite the significant age difference between the 72-year-old coach and Hudson, who is much younger, the couple appears to be going strong. Hudson even moved into Belichick’s Hingham, Mass. residence at the beginning of the new year, indicating a serious commitment between them.
Brown’s revelation that Patriots players had no knowledge of Belichick’s relationship with Hudson highlights the coach’s ability to compartmentalize his personal and professional life. While some teammates might have had mixed feelings about being kept in the dark regarding such a significant aspect of their coach’s life, Brown emphasizes that he personally had no issue with it. He expresses a live-and-let-live attitude, acknowledging that everyone is entitled to live life on their terms.
Despite the secrecy surrounding Belichick and Hudson’s relationship within the Patriots organization, Brown holds no ill will towards the couple. As he embarks on a new chapter with the Seattle Seahawks, Brown extends his best wishes to Belichick and Hudson, emphasizing the importance of finding love and happiness in life. His positive outlook reflects a mature understanding of personal relationships and the importance of supporting others in their pursuit of love and fulfillment.
