Bill Belichick has sparked outrage over his reported engagement to a woman 49 years younger.
NFL legend and North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick, 73, has ignited engagement rumours with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, following a conspicuous change to his boat's name.
The vessel, formerly known as "VIII Rings"—a tribute to his eight Super Bowl victories—now bears the name "I + VIII Rings," suggesting a personal addition to his storied legacy, reports TMZ.

This alteration has been interpreted by many as a subtle announcement of an engagement, especially after Hudson was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand during recent public appearances.
