Patriots coach Bill Belichick and longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday 'have broken up' as couple call

Legendary Patriots coach Bill Belichick has broken up with his longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday, Page Six reports.

The publication says the 71-year-old and Holliday, who have dated since 2007, have 'been involved in a drawn-out, back-and-forth breakup for nearly a year.'

The news comes just days before the start of the NFL season, with the Patriots preparing to host the Eagles on Sunday afternoon.


New England finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs last season.

However, the team hired former Texans coach Bill O'Brien as its offensive coordinator in January, and will hope Mac Jones improves in his third season.

Jones was named a Pro Bowler as a rookie but regressed in his sophomore campaign, at one point being benched for rookie fourth-rounder Bailey Zappe.

Of course, Jones was the successor to the Patriots' legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who spent most of his career with Belichick and won six Super Bowls with him.

The Patriots are set to honor Brady - who retired for a second and seemingly final time in February - at halftime of the Eagles game at Gillette Stadium. 

He last played for the franchise in 2019 before spending his final three seasons with the Bucs.
