The saga of Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson has taken another wild turn – reportedly towards marriage.
The New York Times reports that Hudson has “told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married.”
This comes after weeks of rumors, hysteria and discourse about the well-publicized relationship between the 24-year-old Hudson and 73-year-old Belichick.
Belichick, now the head coach at North Carolina, has been at the center of a media firestorm as Hudson grabs more and more headlines. The storyline reached a fever pitch recently when Hudson interrupted an interview with CBS to shut down a line of questioning about how they met.
Things picked up further when Belichick was spotted in the front row of the Miss Maine USA pageant in which Hudson was a contestant.
The report of an engagement is a surprising development given Belichick’s relationship history.
Belichick had been married to Debby Clarke Belichick from 1977 until their divorce in 2006. About a year later, Belichick began dating Linda Holliday.
The former New England Patriots coach’s relationship with Holliday lasted for 16 years. During that time, there had been no report of an engagement. The two reportedly split in 2023.
It’s been a little over a year since the relationship between Belichick and Hudson became public. During that time, Hudson has taken on a more public role and has appeared to serve as Belichick’s de facto PR manager in recent months.
