Bill Belichick’s Girlfriend Jordon Hudson Shares Glimpse Inside NYC Date Night

Jordon Hudson doesn't care how many yards, er, years separate her and boyfriend Bill Belichick.

Sure, they caught some ribald ribbing during The Roast of Tom Brady last May, Rob Gronkowski joking about Belichick scouting his as-yet unnamed girlfriend at the local high school, and Tom Brady himself referring to "that poor girl" whose house the former New England Patriots coach was "slinking out of" at 6 a.m.

But Hudson—who was at the event though she didn't pose for pictures with Belichick—powered through all the offensive lines.

"Happy 6 Month Roast-iversary," she posted on Instagram Nov. 15. "Hopefully y’all’s burn wounds healed over... I know Bill & I are still applying bacitracin daily."

The unfazed 24-year-old entrepreneur and Belichick—who's celebrating his 73rd birthday April 16—went on to make their red carpet debut the following month at the American Museum of Natural History Gala in New York.

And when Belichick was named the new head football coach at the University of North Carolina, Hudson also declared herself "overtly committed" to the Tar Heels' success. Which would have been as good a reason as any to expect to see her on the sidelines.

As it turned out, she was doing her job, NBC Sports reporting that she had scored a post with the documentary crew following Belichick as the six-time Super Bowl winner (plus twice as the New York Giants' defensive coordinator) embarks on his first season as a college football coach. (Originally the project was headed for NFL Films' off-season Hard Knocks, but now its landing spot is TBD.)

Her on-field appearance came about a month after a reporter from The Assembly obtained a Dec. 16 email in which Belichick requested that an athletic department official copy Hudson on future emails regarding social media and web content, "so she can also keep up with our postings."

So Belichick has already made it clear that Hudson is part of his team. And naturally she's been sporting lots of Carolina blue and white, the birthday girl showing off a No. 24 UNC basketball jersey she was gifted, along with a stunning bouquet of roses, on April 4.

Nor was she shy about drawing attention to Belichick's latest trip around the sun, captioning an April 8 photo of them petting sheep, "As Aries Children, Bill and I are both Rams by birthright. Coincidence? I think not…#mytwinflame."

Not that Hudson doesn't take the occasional timeout to address some of the more unsportsmanlike commentary regarding her 49-year age gap with the grandfather of six.

"There is no objective criteria for what constitutes someone’s worthiness of love," she wrote on Valentine's Day, captioning a photo of her and Belichick at the 14th Annual NFL Honors Feb. 6. "We do not need to justify 'why' we love a particular person. The ways in which we develop our biological preferences are deeply personal in which we owe no justification nor explanation."

Hudson, who has a degree in philosophy from Bridgewater State University, continued, "Love does not discriminate against sex, skin-color, religion, age, or ability...People and relationships, like everything else, are impermanent; even though love is eternal. Love is not to be judged. It is never okay to harass or abuse a person based upon who they love."

That of course hasn't prevented people from trying.

She met Belichick on a flight in 2021, when he was heading into his 22nd season as head coach of the Patriots and she was a national championship-winning cheerleader at Bridgewater State in Massachusetts. (She also, per her LinkedIn page, obtained her cosmetology licensure from New England Hair Academy in 2019, after enrolling in a 1,000-hour course while she was still a senior in high school.)

As Hudson shared on their fourth "meetiversary" on Feb. 11, she took the opportunity to have the second-winningest head coach in NFL history sign her copy of Warren Goldfarb's Deductive Logic.

"Thanks for giving me a course on logic!" he signed the inside cover. "Safe travels!"

Hudson captioned her celebratory post, "Cheers to the fact that you still let me give you lengthy philosophical lectures four years later. #LoveIsNotLogical #EvenThoughItKindOfIs #Ironic."

He was previously married to college sweetheart Debby Clarke from 1977 until 2006, and they share three grown children, Amanda Belichick, Steve Belichick and Brian Belichick. While Amanda is the women's lacrosse coach at Holy Cross, Steve and Brian are once again working with their dad as UNC's new defensive coordinator and safeties coach, respectively.

Yet before the Belichicks start their inaugural campaign to make the College Football Playoff, Hudson has another, more imminent championship on her mind: She has announced that she'll be repping her hometown of Hancock—and her pet cause, protecting the livelihoods of local fishermen like her father—in the Miss Maine USA pageant taking place May 10 and 11.

And if she gets that first down, her next play would be the Miss USA pageant in January 2026.

But Hudson will be getting her flowers in any case, Belichick apparently a big roses guy.

"Behind his stern façade...," Hudson captioned a Feb. 1 pic of blooms from her boyfriend, cheekily referencing the perpetual glower he's known for wearing on the sidelines during games.

A look that fans haven't seen quite as much of since he teamed up with Hudson.
