Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Belichick suffered more humiliation Saturday night when their controversial 49-year age gap was the subject of yet more mockery.
The couple, who have sparked countless headlines for the football coach’s train-wreck CBS Mornings interview this week, found themselves the victim of ‘Saturday Night Live’ this weekend.
Belichick, 73, and Hudson were savaged by the show’s cold open, which featured James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump signing executive orders.
In the skit, Johnson’s Trump, assisted by Mikey Day’s Stephen Miller, put pen to paper on an order that took aim at Belichick and his much younger lover.
‘Sir, this order will make it socially acceptable for a man in his 70s to date a 24-year-old,’ Miller told Trump.
‘That’s right, we’re calling it ‘The Belichick Law.’ We’re going to make girlfriends young again, okay,’ Johnson’s Trump said.

‘Old men can now date far younger women. We like that. It’s hot! But in reverse it’s quite disgusting, right? Very “Dateline,”‘ he continued.
The University of North Carolina head coach’s romance with the former cheerleader has provided fodder for comedy and commentary over the past year, including Netflix’s roast of Tom Brady.
However, their latest controversy has sparked more fears than laughs after Belichick’s awkward CBS interview raised questions over their dynamic.
In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick’s conversation with CBS Sunday Morning’s Tony Dokoupil when her 73-year-old boyfriend was asked how they first met.
‘We’re not talking about this,’ she bluntly told Dokoupil while lurking off-camera at the producer’s table
The excruciating moment has sparked a fierce backlash, with many questioning how much control Hudson has over Belichick’s life away from the football field, while further reports have emerged claiming she also stormed off set and delayed shooting of the interview by 30 minutes.
‘This is a guy who owned every room he ever walked into and now he’s got a 24-year-old muse telling him what to do or trying to control situations that quite frankly she has nothing to do with or should have nothing to do with,’ former NFL insider Peter King, 67, said on ‘Sports Media’.
‘Bill’s got to get a hold of himself here. He’s got to get a hold of this situation. This is embarrassing. It’s totally embarrassing for a guy who’s as great at his job as he is.’

It also emerged in March that Hudson has had an unofficial role in Belichick’s University of North Carolina career since his hiring with the football coach requesting his much younger lover be included in all correspondence to him from the school.
Emails obtained by The Athletic showed the Miss Maine USA hopeful pleading with the university’s communications team to censor social media comments about the couple’s relationship and 49-year age gap.
Fans were quick to raise concerns after a clip of the uncomfortable interview moment with CBS went viral on social media at the weekend, leading to fears over the nature of their relationship and how much control she has over Belichick.
Furthermore, Belichick’s friends are said to be increasingly concerned at the control Hudson has over the eight-time Super Bowl winner, while North Carolina are said to be questioning if he is still the right man to be their football coach.
But Belichick went on the offense Wednesday, by accusing CBS of using ‘selectively edited clips’ that have made Hudson subject of ongoing ridicule.
He accused the CBS Mornings host of ‘repeatedly’ introducing topics he had not approved, stressing his desire to stay on the topic of his upcoming book, ‘The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football,’ which he was there to promote.
But CBS denied violating any sort of agreement and said they had agreed to a ‘wide-ranging interview’ with Belichick.
