On Nov. 28, eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, were among the high-profile guests at US President-elect Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Among other notable attendees were tech billionaire Elon Musk and actor Sylvester Stallone.
The tickets for the event were priced at $350 per person. The highlight was Trump matching footsteps to the classic "Y.M.C.A." Meanwhile, Musk, his mother Maye, and others joined in to groove.
Over 300 guests enjoyed a lavish buffet, seasonal decorations, and a playlist that included Elvis Presley hits, "Phantom of the Opera," and "Ave Maria."

Coming to Belichick and Hudson, the new couple on the block have been sneakily dating since early 2023, after the former NFL coach split from his longtime partner, Linda Holliday. Thus, their appearance at Mar-a-Lago was one of the very few public outings by them together.
That said, on Dec. 5, Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson made their red carpet debut at The Museum Gala at New York City's American Museum of Natural History.
As per pictures released by People Magazine, the couple twinned in black.
Bill Belichick and Donald Trump share a great rapport
The fact that Bill Belichick was among Donald Trump's guest list for the Thanksgiving dinner makes their longstanding relationship quite evident.
The bond was especially apparent during the 2016 presidential election. As reported by NFL.com, Belichick penned a letter of support for Trump.
It was read aloud by President Trump at a New Hampshire rally the night before the election.
"Congratulations on a tremendous campaign," the letter began. "You have dealt with an unbelievably slanted and negative media and have come out beautifully -- beautifully. You have proven to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing.
"I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully, tomorrow's election results will give the opportunity to make America great again. Best wishes for great results tomorrow, – Bill Belichick."
Interestingly, the following year, when the Bill Belichick-led New England Patriots won Super Bowl LI over the Atlanta Falcons, Donald Trump compared the team to his duties as the President.
“Whether you’re trying to win a Super Bowl or trying to rebuild the country, as coach Bill Belichick would say, 'There are no days off,'” Trump said.
Now that President Trump is returning to the White House, he will have the opportunity of hosting the Super Bowl winners again.
