Bill Belichick, legendary head coach of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels Billconnor, last seen attending a thrilling double overtime NHL playoff game with @uncadm_bond. He was joined by his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, a former cheerleader for Bridgewater State University. The couple attended the Carolina Hurricanes vs. New Jersey Devils match on April 22 at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
At 73 years old, Belichick has an unparalleled depth of experience on a football field. Most notably, he inked a similar five-year agreement for UNC-Chapel Hill in December 2014. He is taking a page out of his father’s playbook. Steve Belichick, Patriots’ defensive mastermind, was an assistant coach for the Tar Heels from 1953-55. Though she is clearly no longer anyone’s subordinate, Hudson, 24, has grown into the role of star in her own right. She attracts notice partly for her intimate relationship with Belichick, but mostly because of her big personality.
The newlyweds made their public debut on the red carpet at The Museum Gala in December 2024. This moment in New York City represented a bigger step in their leadership partnership. In January 2023, they made headlines as they walked down the French Quarter of New Orleans. Their seemingly run-of-the-mill outing ignited international fascination and enthusiasm. Her relationship with Hudson has only grown since, with Hudson now taking to social media to let the world know how excited she is for Belichick’s career milestones.
On December 26, Hudson showcased her support by posting pictures of herself bedazzling a sweatshirt featuring the Chapel Hill logo on Instagram Stories. Additionally, she expressed her excitement for Belichick’s new coaching role when he stated, “I am excited for the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill.”
The dynamic between the couple is ever changing as they figure out how to grow up in the public eye. Yet in January 2025, Belichick actually made one strange request. He requested to blind copy Hudson on all work emails so that she could be looped into his professional communication going forward. This small gesture goes a long way to show their intentional commitment to each other in the midst of their demanding careers.
We were excited to catch up over a dinner date in New Orleans this past September 2023. In addition, they were part of the 14th Annual NFL Honors held at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans on February 6, 2025.
