A source tells PEOPLE that Bill Belichick and Linda Holliday's relationship had ended by September 2022, a year before their split was confirmed in September 2023
Belichick moved to "a hotel nearby Gillette Stadium" so that Holliday could "continue to stay in his homes" amid their split at the time
The source says Belichick "played along" so that Holliday could "transition with the least amount of public humiliation"
Bill Belichick and Linda Holliday's relationship was over one year before the public found out about their split, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"Many assumed that Bill had cheated on Linda through 2022 and 2023, but they were broken up by September 2022," the insider says. "Linda was still pretending they were together after the breakup, and Bill played along so she could transition with the least amount of public humiliation and avoid abrupt displacement."
"Bill moved into a hotel nearby Gillette Stadium in September and allowed Linda to continue to stay in his homes," the source adds.
The source close to the former couple also says Holliday's social media activity "changed drastically" after she and Belichick split.

A separate source confirmed to PEOPLE in September 2023 that the couple had split, noting that Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 62, had "been pretty separate for a while" by the time their breakup was announced.
The couple had been dealing with relationship issues that were "not new" when they separated, the insider revealed. "Bill is all about football and very busy now. He doesn't want a lot of public attention on this," the source told PEOPLE at the time.
Currently, Belichick is dating Jordon Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader who has been acting as his publicist through her company Trouble Cub Enterprises.
