It’s not every day you find out your landlord is a 24-year-old dating an eight-time Super Bowl winner.
But that’s exactly what happened to several stunned tenants in Boston after learning their properties were owned by none other than Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
“How does she have her real estate? Isn’t she 24?” one tenant asked the New York Post, after discovering the cheerleader-turned-landlord owned the four-bed Dorchester home they were renting with others for $4,900 a month.

An $8 million domain
Hudson acquired three multi-family properties in late 2023, according to mortgage records reviewed by Realtor.com. Her real estate portfolio now includes a $2.2 million townhouse in Dorchester, a $2.3 million property nearby, a $3 million building in Boston’s Roxbury Crossing neighborhood and a $610,000 Cape Cod cottage in Harwich — about 80 miles southeast of the city.
That’s quite the empire — especially at a time when soaring costs have priced many young Americans out of the housing market entirely.
Dominic Fantoni, a student who splits $9,100 in monthly rent for one of Hudson’s apartments, was baffled by the discovery: “I’m 21 and we are all struggling to pay rent. I wonder how she came into all that.”
