The relationship between Bill Belichick (72) and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson (24) came under the spotlight in 2024 due to the age difference between the two.
The online trolling of the relationship went to another level on Monday after Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer got engaged to his girlfriend Katrina Miketin. Similarities were drawn to the Belichick-Hudson relationship, with Zimmer being 68 years old while Miketin is 42.
According to Minnesota Star Tribune, Zimmer was married to his late wife, Vicki, for 27 years before her death at the age of 50 in October 2009. Together, they had three children: a son, Adam, who has also died, and two daughters, Marki and Corri.
Reacting to the engagement of Mike Zimmer, former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho took a dig at Bill Belichick.
