Fans of Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick are pointing to a Kentucky Derby photo as evidence of their relationship being a success.
Hudson and Belichick have taken their fair share of criticism over the years. The couple has a massive age gap. Belichick is 74 years old, while his girlfriend, Hudson, is only 25 years old. That's a nearly 50-year age gap.
Those close to Belichick have expressed concern.
Belichick's family reportedly expressed “deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.”

One of Belichick's family members reportedly issued an "ultimatum" at the end of 2025.
"As if that wasn't enough, Jen (Belichick) also delivered a stark choice to Belichick to choose between his family and his girlfriend," the report stated.
"In addition to accusing Hudson of being controlling, Jen also took aim at the 24-year-old's body and fashion choices."
But Hudson, Belichick fans are supporting them
Hudson and Belichick's supporters are pointing to a photo of the couple at the Kentucky Derby as evidence that the relationship is working.
"You two look so cute together. And he looks so happy. I think you bring out the best in him," one supporter wrote.
"3 years later and y'all are still carrying on about the age difference I can ridiculous, they've lasted longer than some of your first dates😂," one added.
"Bill looks happy to me let the haters hate," one shared.
There's no questioning the photo - he looks happy.
Of course, any time there is a near 50-year age gap in a relationship - especially one involving a very public figure - there will be scrutiny.
But Belichick and Hudson have continued to last and, if the photo of them at the Kentucky Derby is any evidence, they appear to still be going strong.
So...good for them?
