Bill Belichick and Debby Clarke were together for over nearly three decades before their divorce in 2006. The duo got divorced due to allegations of infidelity on Bill’s part.
According to reports, he had an affair with a receptionist for the New York Giants, Sharon Shenocca. Belichick claimed their relationship was purely platonic, but the allegations were significant enough to end their nearly 30-year marriage.

A year after the divorce, Bill began dating Linda Holliday, a TV presenter at Style Boston.
Linda was a supportive girlfriend, appearing in almost all the games Bill coached. She also attended the charity events Bill was involved in and eventually became the executive director of the Bill Belichick Foundation, a non-profit organization that provided financial support, mentorship, and coaching to less-than-fortunate individuals and communities.
Belichick and Linda were together for 16 years before calling it quits in September 2023.
According to sources, they broke up because their relationship had “run its course.” Bill’s busy schedule was a significant contributing factor to their split.
Despite their breakup, Linda would continue to stay in their Jupiter home as part of their separation agreement.

Despite the scrutiny, reports suggest that Hudson has moved into Belichick’s Massachusetts home and has been spotted driving a new Porsche, allegedly a gift from him.
