Warren Goldfarb is the Walter Beverly Pearson Professor of Modern Mathematics and Mathematical Logic at Harvard University, where he has held the position since 1982.
He’s also a bit of a matchmaker, albeit unintentionally.
It was Goldfarb’s book, Deductive Logic, that first reunited Bill Belichick, 72, with his rumored girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, 24, aboard a flight from Boston to Florida in 2021. Belichick would eventually autograph the text from the Bridgewater State University student, then 21, with a signature that includes references to his six Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots.
‘Jordon’, reads the message published by TMZ earlier this week. ‘Thank you for giving me a logic course! Safe travels!’
The two reportedly bonded over text, exchanged contact information, and have since been seen wandering around Nantucket, something that has pleased Goldfarb, as he said. TMZ: ‘I’m delighted to see that logic, so often derided as a dry topic, has finally been recognized for its romantic potential!’
Hudson, a cheerleader 48 years Belichick’s junior, appeared with the coach in Nantucket.

For those unfamiliar with logic as an academic discipline, it’s not exactly romantic material.
Logic is the study of how ideas can be put together in various ways, and these concepts tend to be represented by variables, resulting in coursework that can resemble algebra to the untrained eye.
Goldfarb’s book was published in 2003, when Belichick was on his way to his second Super Bowl title and Hudson was about 2 years old.
On Wednesday, Belichick and Hudson were seen enjoying their $225,000 speedboat, ‘VIII Rings,’ which is a not-so-humble reference to the six titles he won with the Patriots and two he earned as defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. .
The former NFL head coach has reportedly been dating Jordon Hudson since at least 2022, after his 16-year relationship with Linda Holliday, 62, broke down.

Exclusive photos show Hudson and Belichick looking relaxed in each other’s company as they stepped off the ship, with the former cheerleader clutching nautical buoys.
She checked her phone while chatting with her boyfriend and another male companion, before getting into a car together.
Belichick kept his head down as he carried a blanket and a bag, and donned a blue baseball cap, polo shirt and shorts.
Belichick and Hudson have stayed at one of his seven luxurious properties he owns on the exclusive island, with an estimated value of $3,064,800.

Belichick owns several properties around Nantucket, where he was seen Wednesday.
The former Patriots coach also recently purchased a $4.8 million home closer to Nantucket’s main cobblestone street.
He currently owns at least seven properties on the island, six of them close to each other that form a complex in Siasconset, with a total value of $15.7 million.
An exact timeline for the reported romance between the two has been elusive. They initially kept things low-key and were only seen briefly on rare occasions, but TMZ claims that Hudson, a competitive cheerleader, secretly visited Gillette Stadium to support Belichick during the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Patriots.
Belichick was seen supporting her at a cheerleading competition in Maryland earlier this year.
It has since been revealed that “boring Bill” is dating someone 48 years his junior.
Previously, it was reported in September that Belichick was splitting from his girlfriend of 16 years, 60-year-old Linda Holliday.
