Their initial interaction reportedly involved Belichick writing a note in her college textbook, thanking her for a “course on logic”.
Their romantic connection reportedly began in early 2023, following Belichick’s split from Linda Holliday, whom he dated for 16 years. News of their relationship became public in June 2024, sparking widespread interest and discussion due to the age gap.
