It’s giving “Real Housewives of Nantucket.”
Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson isn’t getting a warm welcome as she tries to insert herself in the Nantucket social scene and local charity circles, Page Six reported on Monday.
“His ex, Linda [Holliday], is working the philanthropic and social circles and she [Hudson] wants to get more involved,” a Nantucket society source told Page Six. “She’s trying to claim her stake in the social circle. That is Linda’s thing.”
Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 61, who both live in Nantucket, dated for 16 years before the UNC football coach got together with Hudson, whom he met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021.
The former NFL coach and Holliday were still dating at the time that he first met Hudson, a former cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, according to ex-ESPN reporter Pablo Torre — whose investigation into the couple recently alleged Hudson is trying to control Belichick’s career in order to further her own.
Hudson, a philanthropist and advocate for Maine fishermen, is reportedly being “iced out” of the Nantucket social circuit by Holliday’s allies.
“People on Nantucket are pretty sophisticated,” a second source part of the Nantucket social scene alongside Holliday told Page Six. “You could be sitting at Galley Beach restaurant and if [Hudson] walked in, 90 [percent] of the place would roll their eyes. No one is going to be welcoming her with open arms.
“It’s cliquey here. Very cliquey. You have the group that picks two or three charities, they’re really into that and focused. They’re not inviting people they don’t think are going to be a good fit for them.
“People are turned off by her. She’s kind of young — who knows what happened when Linda was still [dating Belichick]. Did Jordan come into the picture?”
Belichick and Holliday — who were a main attraction at community and social events through the years in Nantucket — split in September 2023 after they had been “involved in a drawn-out, back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year,” Page Six reported.
Belichick and Hudson and Holliday attended the annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll separately last December.
Holliday, who previously served as the president of the Bill Belichick Foundation, still has photos with Belichick and his family at various events on her Instagram.
She also served as a television spokesperson on “Style Boston.”
Before that, she spent 15 years selling X-ray medical devices.
The news of Belichick and Hudson’s relationship broke last June — five months after his mutual split with the Patriots in January after 24 years and six Super Bowl titles.
Hudson has shared glimpses into their relationship on social media ever since.
Hudson and Belichick, have been at the center of a media firestorm after Belichick’s disastrous “CBS Sunday Morning” interview, which aired on April 17 and showed Hudson stopping him from answering a question about how the couple met.
After that, the couple has become the subject of negative reports and public scrutiny.
Torre said he spoke with 11 people who have dealt directly with Hudson as part of his investigation, which alleged Belichick’s family is concerned and digging into Hudson.
Belichick and UNC issued a statement afterward and specifically denied Torre’s claim that higher-ups at UNC banned Hudson from the team’s facility.
Belichick explained in a series of interviews over the weekend that Hudson helps run his professional opportunities outside of UNC football.
On Monday, Hudson posted on Instagram for the first time since the fallout from her CBS interjection and her third place finish at the Miss Maine pageant earlier this month.
Belichick sat in the front row of the pageant, which took place at a Holiday Inn in Portland, Maine.
