Jordon Hudson has responded to the critics and trolls who think she has become “a distraction” for her boyfriend, North Carolina Tar Heels football head coach Bill Belichick.
Hudson, 24, and the 73-year-old Belichick began a relationship at some point in 2023. Their romance has drawn plenty of media attention, due to their 49-year age gap and Hudson’s involvement with Belichick’s professional life.
Jordon Hudson made headlines two weeks ago when she interrupted a question about their relationship on CBS’s “Sunday Morning” program. Belichick was interviewed by Tony Dokoupil to promote his new book, and Hudson immediately shut down a question about how the couple met:
"We're not talking about this."

NFL analyst and former quarterback Robert Griffin III wrote on X/Twitter that “Jordon Hudson is becoming a problem” for Bill Belichick. A fan responded and asked RG3, “is it a distraction for him or for us?”.
Hudson “reposted” the fan’s response, which you can see below:
Belichick released a statement on April 30, where he passionately defended Hudson and criticized CBS. Belichick said he made it clear to the network that he wanted the interview to be focused on football, and that the “expectation was not honored.” The legendary head coach also shut down the “false narrative” that Hudson was trying to dictate the interview.
CBS responded with their own statement, claiming there was no agreement on “preconditions or limitations to this conversation.”

Jordon Hudson & Bill Belichick Met On A Plane Ride In 2021
Belichick and Hudson, a former competitive cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, met on a plane ride from Boston to Florida in February 2021. Belichick even signed Hudson’s textbook with a personal message, thanking her for giving him a lesson on her studies.
Their relationship began after Belichick and longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday, broke up. The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach was previously married to Debby Clarke, and they had three children together.
