Former New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick pokes fun at Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s relationship.
After photos surfaced of Hudson, 24 — who has been dating the 72-year-old former Patriots coach for more than a year — wearing a Belichick-inspired Halloween costume, Fitzpatrick, 41, posted a mockery of the couple on Xu. (formerly known as Twitter).
In response to photos of Hudson wearing New York Giants gear reminiscent of her boyfriend’s role as the Giants’ defensive coordinator from 1985-1990, Fitzpatrick wrote, “For all you 48-year-old hopeless romantics out there, just think that your future self might even and will not be born yet,” along with three red heart emoticons.
Fitzpatrick’s sly exploration of the couple’s age gap has been liked by more than 3,700 users on the app, while the initial post to which the former NFL star responded has only had about 2,500 likes.

Photos of Hudson at the Halloween party were first shared by a friend of the former Bridgewater State University cheerleader — who recently posted a picture of Belichick rocking her alma mater’s ad shortly before dressing up as him for a costume party.
After the pair were seen together on several occasions, fueling rumors of their romance, PEOPLE confirmed in late June of this year that Belichick and Hudson had been dating for over a year at that point.

Hudson has since made their relationship official on Instagram, sharing sweet selfies with Belichick from their summer adventures and various outings.
Before dating Hudson, the former NFL coach broke up with girlfriend Linda Holliday after 16 years together. Amid the longtime couple’s split, Holliday, 61, oversaw the Bill Belichick Foundation.
However, since the couple split in September 2023, Holliday’s role at her ex’s foundation has become more complicated. “They need to clear up issues stemming from a long relationship, as well as her role in his professional life,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.
