Jordon Hudson, the 23-year-old cheerleader, has recently hit back at a harsh internet troll who criticized her relationship with renowned football coach Bill Belichick, 72. The couple’s May-December romance, which became public in 2024, has sparked its share of discussions, with many questioning the significant age gap between them.
However, Hudson is not one to shy away from defending her personal life, especially when faced with unwarranted online criticism.
The drama began when an Instagram user, Abby Riley, sent Hudson a direct message on Friday, criticizing their relationship in no uncertain terms. "But you do realize your relationship is insane, right?" Riley wrote, in what seemed to be an unsolicited attack on the couple’s romance. The message was a clear attempt to judge Hudson's choices and the unconventional nature of her love life.
Hudson, however, was not one to simply ignore the message. She took to her own Instagram Story to clap back at Riley’s criticism, sharing a screenshot of the message along with a sharp response.
"But you do realize direct messaging a stranger on Instagram with the intent of harassing them regarding their own personal relationship is insane, right?" Hudson wrote, making it clear that she wouldn’t tolerate such invasive and rude comments.
In her post, Hudson also added a touch of humor and wit by pointing out Riley's lack of attention to detail. She drew a comma and a question mark over the original message to correct its poor punctuation, humorously highlighting Riley’s lack of manners as well as her punctuation skills.
The playful jab, “Which one is poorer? Abby’s manners or Abby’s punctuation skills,” resonated with Hudson's followers, who cheered her on for taking a stand and turning the situation into a lighthearted moment.
The exchange had begun after Hudson posted a mirror selfie on her Instagram Story, accompanied by the phrase, “Poke the Bear; get the [claws].” It’s unclear whether Riley had followed Hudson’s social media before or had been inspired by the selfie to make her rude comment.
However, it was clear that Hudson’s post had stirred something in Riley, prompting her unsolicited critique.
Since Hudson and Belichick made their relationship public in 2024, it has turned heads for several reasons. The major talking point has been their age difference—Hudson is 23, and Belichick, one of the most respected and successful coaches in NFL history, is 72.
Despite the chatter surrounding their relationship, both Hudson and Belichick have remained steadfast in their stance, repeatedly stating that the age gap does not affect their connection or the bond they share. Both parties have insisted that they are happy, and the opinions of others do not bother them.
Hudson has continued to share moments from their relationship on social media, and many of her followers have been supportive. The cheerleader frequently posts pictures of herself with Belichick, often accompanied by heartfelt captions and messages of love and support.
Their love seems to be something they both hold dear, and they appear to be quite content with their unconventional relationship.
It’s not the first time that Hudson has had to defend herself against internet trolls. Online criticism has become all too common for public figures and those who date them. While Hudson may not be able to stop all the negativity, she has shown that she will stand her ground and fight back when necessary.
Her ability to handle criticism with a mix of humor and confidence has earned her admiration from her followers, who appreciate her ability to stay composed and defend her relationship without letting the negativity affect her.
As the couple continues to share their love publicly, it’s clear that their bond is stronger than the opinions of strangers. While many people may continue to gossip about their relationship, Hudson and Belichick have proven that they are focused on what makes them happy rather than what others think.
Their message seems to be clear: true love knows no bounds, not even age. And for those who have something negative to say about it, Hudson has shown that she’s more than capable of standing up for herself and her relationship in the face of online criticism.
The public's fascination with the couple is likely to continue as long as they remain in the spotlight, but it’s evident that Hudson and Belichick are determined to keep living their lives on their own terms.
