Travis Kelce got a kick out of Bill Belichick‘s controversial relationship in the latest episode of the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason.

The legendary New England Patriots coach, 72, has dominated headlines since his relationship with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson met the public eye earlier this month.

While media outlets and the masses are having a field day with their 49-year age difference, Jason wanted no part in the conversation as Travis failed to contain his laughter.

‘Belichick’s a smooth operator, his girlfriend’s,’ Travis said before Jason interrupted. Travis also jokingly stuttered and referred to Hudson as Belichick’s daughter.

‘Let’s not go there, please,’ the retired Philadelphia Eagles center begged. ‘Jesus Christ.’

The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs began cracking up and said: ‘He’s killing it.’

Belichick and Hudson crossed paths during a flight in 2021 and connected over the former student athlete’s philosophy project.

The six-time Super Bowl winner was seen smiling ear-to-ear in a photo obtained by TMZ from their first encounter on February 11.

The former coach also signed his now-girlfriend’s notebook, writing: ‘Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!’ He then added his signature and jotted down abbreviations of all six of his championship seasons.

While the pair kept their relationship under the radar, they were recently seen together in Croatia and at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony on June 12. 

Belichick, who split with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday in 2023, has reportedly lived with the former Miss USA contestant in his Hingham, Massachusetts home for months, per TMZ.

While neither Belichick nor Hudson has publicly addressed their relationship, Brady quipped at his former coach during his three-hour roast special on Netflix in May.

‘When everybody asked me which ring is my favorite, I used to say ‘the next one,” Brady said. ‘But now that I’m retired, my favorite ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 AM a few months ago.

‘Hey, you still got it,’ he continued. ‘Respect, baby.’
