1. Debby Opened a Tile & Stone Company & She & Bill Belichick Owned a Multi-Million Dollar Home in Nantucket Together

In 2007, The Boston Globe reported that Bill and his then-wife, Debby, had purchased “a $4.6 million lot” in Nantucket. Debby has built her life post-divorce in Massachusetts.

After her divorce, Debby, along with a female friend, opened The Art of Tile & Stone, “a new tile store in Wellesley that offers everything from design to installation of new stone,” reported The Boston Herald.

Most of Debby’s photos on Facebook show tile and stone. “We just received a beautiful sample with glitter grout on glass. What a difference!” she wrote in one status. She told Wicked Local, which ran a feature on the store, “The difference between The Art of Tile & Stone and other stores,” explains Belichick “is like the difference between a boutique and a department store or warehouse where the experience can be overwhelming with too many choices and too little personal attention. We’ve simplified the process by bringing the best products and personalized service together in an elegant, one-stop showroom.”

“They know there is some customer frustration over how to pull things together when you want to make over a kitchen or bath,” said the spokeswoman for the company, Sarah Adams, to the Herald. “Their new place will put everything all under one roof.”

You can see a video relating to that business later on in this story. Bill Belichick’s net worth is reportedly about $35 million.

3. Debby Belichick Has Three Children With Bill, Her High School Sweetheart

The Boston Globe reported that Debby and Bill Belichick met in high school.

They have three children: Amanda, Stephen, and Brian. The couple’s son, Stephen, was a lacrosse player in college who played against Patriots’ wide receiver Chris Hogan.

“I saw a couple of his (Hogan’s) games when he played against Rutgers when he played against Stephen,” Belichick said, according to The Post Game. “Stephen actually covered him. One of those was a downpour, one of the worst I’ve ever seen. The game actually had to be stopped.”

Stephen Belichick is now the Patriots’ safeties coach. Debby and Bill’s youngest son, Brian, who attended Trinity College where he also played lacrosse, was hired as a scouting assistant for the Patriots. He is now a coaching assistant for the team.

“It’s been a great experience to be able to come in every day and just experience things with them,” Bill Belichick told NESN. “You experience them with other people on your staff, too, but it’s great to have your kids involved. I think it’s been good for all of us.”

5. Bill Belichick Was Dragged Into a Messy Divorce Involving Another Couple

In 2007, The Boston Globe reported that Bill Belichick’s name had surfaced in a divorce case involving another couple.

Belichick’s name was “dragged through the tabloids in a messy divorce case involving a New Jersey couple,” reported the Boston newspaper.

The newspaper reported that “a New Jersey judge granted a motion in a divorce case that will allow lawyers for Vincent Shenocca to question Belichick about his involvement with Sharon Shenocca, whom Belichick met in the 1980s when she was a receptionist for the New York Giants and he was the defensive coordinator.”

According to the New York Post, Belichick was accused in court papers of sending Shenocca “envelopes stuffed with cash and buying a secret $2.2 million Park Slope town house for her use.”

The Post reported that “Sharon, who met Belichick in the 1980s when she was a receptionist for the New York Giants and he was the team’s defensive coordinator, insisted he was just a ‘family friend.'” The matter was eventually resolved.

According to a 2005 Redorbit report, “rumors of a marital rift” between Debby and Bill “surfaced in February (2005) when Belichick took his third victory spin around Boston on the duck boats accompanied only by his daughter, Amanda, a college junior.”
