As debate about their relationship continues to swirl, Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick might be hearing wedding bells.
In a story published Tuesday, May 20, in The New York Times, journalist Katherine Rosman reported that Hudson, 23, has ”told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Hudson and Belichick, 73, for comment.
Rosman traveled to four cities in two states to get a full view of Hudson, who went public with her relationship with Belichick in October 2024 after months of dating rumors. The couple reportedly met for the first time on a plane in 2021.
The reporter visited Bridgewater and Provincetown, Massachusetts, two cities with specific ties to Hudson.
Hudson’s family moved to Provincetown when she was in high school and she later attended Bridgewater State University, where she won a national collegiate championship in cheerleading in 2021.
“We are not allowed to talk about her,” one member of the current Bridgewater cheer team reportedly said about Hudson.
However, at the university’s graduation ceremony on Friday, May 16, commencement speaker Robert Hale Jr., the billionaire CEO of Granite Telecommunications, had no problem bringing up Hudson and her famous boyfriend.
Held at Gillette Stadium, the home of the NFL’s New England Patriots, Hale joked that the students might be hoping for a more well-known speaker like current Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel, or “the old, old, old one, Belichick.”
Hale joked that Belichick has “very, very, very strong ties with very, very recent alumni,” which reportedly received a big laugh.
Belichick coached the Patriots from 2000 to 2023, winning 6 Super Bowls. He was announced as the new head football coach at the University of North Carolina in December 2024.
The Hudson-Belichick relationship has been under an even finer microscope since Belichick’s now-infamous interview on CBS Sunday Morning last month, during which Hudson interjected from off camera when Belichick was asked how the couple met.
Weeks later, journalist Pablo Torre dropped an episode of his “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast dedicated to deep dive into Hudson and Belichick, which raised accusations that Hudson has been lying about her age and that she had been banned from football facilities at the University of North Carolina.
Carolina Athletics issued a statement to Us Weekly on May 9, refuting Torre’s reporting.
“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” the statement read. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”
Belichick has recently been on the promotional trail for his book, “The Art of Winning: Lesson From My Life in Football,” where he’s attempted to give more context for his relationship with Hudson.
“She’s been through the whole process, she’s been very helpful to me,” Belichick said Friday, May 16, on Good Morning America. “She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life so I can concentrate on football, and that’s really what I want to do. You know, I acknowledged her in the book, she was very helpful on all that … and also, giving a perspective of the book from the business side. Sometimes I get a little football technical and she did a good job of keeping me on balance there.”
He added, “We have a good personal relationship.”
