The story behind Bill Belichick’s viral Ring camera video is becoming clearer.
Footage of the shirtless, then-Patriots coach leaving a mystery Massachusetts house went viral in November 2023, with it later being believed to be the home of his now-girlfriend, 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
But thanks to former ESPNer Pablo Torre, we now know: It was an Airbnb rented by Belichick and Hudson, during what appear to be the early stages of their relationship.
Torre revealed the secrets behind the video on his “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast, for which he tracked down and rented the house, recreated the infamous video — and then found another one while speaking to the owners.
“We saw the Ring video in the morning, not knowing who this was, but it was an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before,” the female owner of the Airbnb told Torre.
“She’s with this creepy old guy who’s either her relative or a drug dealer was the first thing [we thought]. Because of the age discrepancy, you go ‘He must be a freaking coke dealer,’” the male owner of the Airbnb told Torre. “And then I started looking. I’m like, ‘That does look like Belichick.’”
The owners found the situation fishy, with Belichick and Hudson staying only one night of a four-night rental.
“At first, we thought she was like a dancer or an escort,” the male owner said of Hudson. “She said she was a dancer. Something was off. It just didn’t make sense.”
The owners sent the video to a friend to verify if it was indeed the truculent Patriots coach and from there, it quickly went viral.
Torre also unearthed a second video of Belichick from the same camera, still shirtless but wearing a satchel and carrying a water bottle — and made his own version of the tape.
It’s the latest puzzle piece in their relationship drama that’s become nearly impossible to avoid.
Hudson has faced scrutiny alongside her 73-year-old beau following a viral CBS interview in which she shut down a question posed to the new UNC about how they met.
Torre, in his first batch of Belichick-Hudson discoveries, said he’d been told Hudson was banned from UNC facilities, which the school quickly denied.
He also reported that Hudson had forced her way into Belichick’s commercial appearances while acting as his “de facto agent.”
Hudson didn’t seem to be a fan or Torre’s deep dive on the subject.
“Pablo Torre’s ‘findings’ have been nothing short of factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory and targeted,” Hudson wrote in a since-deleted post to her Instagram Story on Friday. “Can y’all please stop giving credibility to this ‘reporter’?”
Things have not gotten better for the Maine native in recent weeks, as Torre and others dig into her past as she finished third in the Miss Maine USA pageant while she seemingly contends with Belichick’s ex, Linda Holiday, in the Nantucket social scene.
There may be some good news for the couple at least, as Hudson reportedly told at least one person she’s engaged — a story potentially backed up by a change to the name of Belichick’s boat.
