Former New England Patriots quarterbacks Cam Newton and Mac Jones caught up with one another on the red carpet at the 2024 ESPYs on Thursday, and it didn’t take long before Bill Belichick’s dating life became a topic of conversation.
Belichick, 72, is believed to be dating 23-year-old Jordon Hudson. The grandfather-sized age gap between the two has received varying opinions over the last few months.
So naturally, Newton wanted to get Jones’ thoughts on the matter.
“I have to ask this. Your former coach, his dating choice right now, what are we doing? Do we approve?” asked Newton.
Jones agreed to respond, but he wanted Newton to share his opinion first.
“No, I don’t approve. I’m not even going to lie. I don’t approve. But just to see him doing what he’s doing now is like,” Newton said, while leaning back with a shocked look on his face.
The two cackled with laughter before Jones finally stated his piece on the matter.
“Hey bro, good for him, right?” said Jones.

Belichick appears to be enjoying his time away from football after splitting with the Patriots back in January.
He spent the last 24 years turning the team into the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Now, he’s exploring the other part of life where he’s not buried in his office working as both an NFL head coach and general manager.
Who he chooses to spend that time with is ultimately up to him and the other consenting adult involved. But of course, people are also free to have their opinions, too.
