Bill Belichick and his long time girlfriend Linda Holliday have broken up. There have been rumors of the two splitting for the past year. Linda, who is very open about sharing any and all details about her relationship with Bill, has not posted ANYTHING with him in quite some time. Her last post WITH Bill was Valentine's Day of 2022 although she does have a post of Bill and his foundation from March of this year. So what exactly happened between the two?
As of this morning, the reason for the break up is unclear. What we DO know, is that according to Page Six, the two have had a back and forth over their break up for the past year. And word is, Linda is still living in Bill’s Nantucket home despite the break up. What’s also making it awkward is, Linda heads up his Bill Belichick Foundation AND word is Patriots execs are worried about what Linda may share on social media now that news of the split is out. Neither Bill nor Linda have commented on the story.
So what does this mean for Bill Belichick as he's about to begin another season as head coach of the New England Patriots? That has yet to be seen as this will be his first season without Linda since 2007. Will his new found bachelor status affect his ability to coach? With a man like Bill, you'd like to believe he's all business and he'll be just fine. But then again, Linda was his rock for a long time, so you really never know.
All of this news got us thinking about the most awkward and petty celebrity breakups. There have been many awkward and petty celebrity break ups over the years and we're going to mention just a few of our favorites.
Matt Damon and Minnie Driver
This was ugly! Matt basically broke up with Minnie on The Oprah Winfrey Show. They had been dating for a year, and Matt announced that he was single on the show. Minnie said she found it “fantastically inappropriate,” especially since he had been on David Letterman a month before declaring his love for her.
Pete Davidson and Cazzie David
Pete broke up with Cazzie by text message! Ugh, the worst! She then found out that he was dating Ariana Grande the next day on Instagram.
Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland
I don’t even remember this, but it’s funny the things you can dig up if you look hard enough. So on the day that Julia was supposed to marry Kiefer, she ran off to Ireland with his best friend Jason Patric! I guess Kiefer and Jason are still friends though.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand
After a 14-month marriage, Russell broke up with Katie via text. Again, ugh! If you happened to see her documentary Part of Me, you’ll see just how devastating it was.
Iggy Azalea and Nick Young
Well this was ugly. Iggy found out her fiancé was cheating on her, and actually sneaking other women into their house! She then reportedly found out that he was expecting a child with his ex.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
After just 74 days of marriage, Kris reportedly found out that she was filing for divorce through media reports. He had released a statement at the time saying, “I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce...I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.” Yeah, that didn’t work out for him.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
The Twilight co-stars who met on the set of the movie dated for four years. The breakup happened after Kristen was accused of cheating on Robert with the director of her movie, Snow White and the Huntsman, Rupert Sanders. They were caught by the paparazzi kissing, and what made it uglier was that he was married at the time with two kids. Kristen and Robert did get back together, but then broke up for good a year later.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
We all saw this one play out in one of the ugliest breakup in celebrity history. They got married in 2015, she filed for divorce in 2016 alleging abuse, and the divorce was final in 2017. He sued her for defamation over an op-ed piece that she wrote for the Washington Post, and the whole thing can be seen in a three-part docuseries (Depp v. Heard) on Netflix about the trial.
