Saturday Night Live addressed the public attention surrounding Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s age-gap relationship in the cold open of its May 3, 2025, episode. The sketch featured James Austin Johnson reprising his role as Donald Trump, who introduced a fictional executive order known as “The Belichick Law.”
The law was described as making it socially acceptable for older men to date significantly younger women, directly referencing the 49-year age difference between the 73-year-old football coach and his 24-year-old girlfriend.
Mikey Day, portraying Stephen Miller, shared:
“Sir, this order will make it socially acceptable for a man in his 70s to date a 24-year-old,”
Johnson responded:
“That’s right. We’re calling it ‘The Belichick Law.’ We’re going to make girlfriends young again. Old men can now date far younger women. We like that. It’s hot!”
Trending
The sketch served as a satirical jab at the public discourse around the couple. Belichick and Hudson first met in April 2021 and made their red carpet debut in December 2024. Despite the media coverage, a source close to the coach recently stated he is unfazed by the public commentary and remains happy in his relationship with Hudson.
Cold Open highlights the age-gap relationship through parody in Saturday Night Live
In the sketch, Saturday Night Live used its signature political satire to reflect on current headlines. The cold open featured James Austin Johnson portraying Donald Trump, who introduced a series of fictional executive orders. One of them, titled “The Belichick Law,” humorously addressed the attention surrounding Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson.
"But in reverse, it’s quite disgusting, right? Very Dateline," Johnson added.
The sketch included Mikey Day as Stephen Miller, who described the order as an attempt to change public perception around significant age-gap relationships.
Johnson’s Trump character expanded on this by discussing perceived social standards and how they differ when gender roles are reversed, referencing how such situations are often viewed differently depending on who is older in the relationship.
The segment used this fictional law as a setup to explore public attitudes through comedy, framing the couple’s age difference as a satirical talking point rather than a direct critique. The sketch’s approach was consistent with Saturday Night Live’s method of drawing from trending stories and presenting them through political impersonations and cultural exaggeration.
Quinta Brunson hosted the episode, bringing her comedic style to the show, while Benson Boone made his musical guest debut. The episode’s opening captured both political and social narratives, continuing Saturday Night Live’s long-standing practice of engaging with real-world topics through parody.
Public reaction and ongoing media attention
The Saturday Night Live sketch aired just days after Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson made headlines following an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. During the April 27 segment, Hudson stopped reporter Tony Dokoupil from asking about how the couple met. “We’re not talking about this,” she said, with Dokoupil later describing her as a “constant presence” during filming.
In response, Belichick issued a statement clarifying that Hudson wasn’t avoiding any particular question.
"She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track. We have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021,” he explained.
A source close to the couple recently told People magazine:
“Bill doesn’t care about all the talk surrounding his and Jordon’s relationship. He’s never been happier than he is with Jordon. She brings a positive energy.”
According to the insider, those close to Belichick have noticed that he appears more relaxed and content in recent months.
