Jordan Hudson, 24, has been identified as 72-year-old Bill Belichick’s new girlfriend.
But it appears the former New England Patriots head coach is not the first person she’s dated who’s way older than her.
According to TMZ, the cheerleader has a 64-year-old ex-boyfriend named Joshua L. Zuckerman.
The businessman, who, according to his LinkedIn page, is the CEO and president executive director of Geriatrics Facilities of Cape Cod Inc. Pleasant Bay Health and Living Centers LLC, spoke to TMZ this weekend. He came to Hudson’s defense following the rife accusations of being a gold digger.
Zuckerman told the publication he met Hudson several years ago and, like Belichick, bonded with her over philosophy.
“Joshua L. Zuckerman — a businessman — tells TMZ Sports … he met Hudson several years ago, and after bonding over psychology, philosophy and nature, they became romantic,” TMZ reported.

Jordan Hudson & Joshua L. Zuckerman Split Up Right Before She Hooked Up With Bill Belichick
The two were on and off for some time, but called things off for good shortly before she started a relationship with Belichick. They are still good friends, according to him.
“I’ve been getting calls left and right from news stations about my relationship with Jordon Hudson,” he said. “I have been involved with Jordon platonically and romantically and I consider her a good friend. I feel bad that she’s caught up in this whirlwind.”
“I’m a former business owner in the healthcare field — we regularly discuss business and shared interest in psychology, philosophy and most important, our love of nature,” he continued.
“She is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I’ve ever met in my life. The narrative about her character is not fair to her.”
Joshua L. Zuckerman added that he would prefer it if everyone stayed out of Jordon Hudson’s business and allowed her to live her life.
“To be honest, I wish these internet trolls and paparazzi would leave her alone — and everyone else alone — and let them live their lives,” he said.
Yeah… That’s probably not going to happen.
