NFL legend reveals how Bill Belichick can 'shut up' critics of his relationship with Jordon Hudson
Bill Belichick is set to coach his first college football game in just a few months time. But drama off the field has many wondering if he'll ever coach a game at all.
Belichick's ongoing saga with girlfriend Jordon Hudson has critics doubting if he'll ever put on a headset for the UNC football team.
So with plenty of noise surrounding him, one of Belichick's former players is eagerly looking forward to the coaching legend getting some wins under his belt.
Future Hall-of-Famer Rob Gronkowski told People Magazine he believes that success with the Tar Heels may be the only thing to silence the doubters.
'Bill has to produce and I'm going to be tuning in and I want to see him win some games,' Gronkowski, 36, told People on Wednesday.
'Because if he wins some games, he'll shut everyone up. And that would be fun to see, man.'
Unfortunately for Belichick, the story of the offseason hasn't been focusing on his preparation for a new endeavor.
Rather, the tumbles that Belichick and Hudson have taken are center stage in the minds of journalists and sports fans these past few weeks.
With Belichick set to do another national interview with Good Morning America on Friday, there's hope that he can re-focus his attention to the field.
Part of that focus could now exist after reports indicate that Hudson is no longer allowed to be at UNC's football practice facility.
Belichick has even publicly said that his relationship with Hudson is 'off to the side' and that 'she doesn't have anything to do with UNC football.'
The best possible thing that Belichick can do is limit distractions. While there's one huge distraction in front of him, Gronkowski says there's no one better in the industry at getting past them than the 73-year-old.
'That's what he's always done in his career and he's the best football coach out there,' Gronkowski told the outlet.
'He knows the game inside and out better than anyone, so we're just super excited to see what he can do on the field. Now I'm kind of getting sick of all the BS off the field. I want to see how it's going to go down on the field now in the ACC [Atlantic Coast Conference].'

Teddi Mellencamp reunites with ex Edwin for daughter's graduation... after the RHOBH vet cuddled new beau
Teddi Mellencamp was seen with her ex Edwin Arroyave during their daughter's graduation from 'lower school' in Los Angeles on Friday. The 43-year-old reality TV star looked cheerful in an off-white outfit with her blonde hair down as she smiled for Instagram photos. The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hill veteran wore a jacket over a tank top and slacks that all matched as the former model added beige slides with a Fendi belt purse. She added two necklace and an anklet. Edwin looked sporty in a dark gray blazer over a white collared shirt with dark jeans and his prescription glasses on. Slate, 12, had on a pretty pale purple gown with her hair down. 'Just like that our baby girl is graduating lower school. Off to middle school next year. Proud of you @slate_mellencamp_eq,' wrote the star in her caption as she shared images from the event. Mellencamp divorced Arroyave, her husband of 13 years, in November. Mellencamp - who is the daughter of rocker John Mellencamp and actress Victoria Granucci - and Arroyave share Slate, Cruz, 10 and Dove, five. 'Just like that our baby girl is graduating lower school. Off to middle school next year. Proud of you @slate_mellencamp_eq,' wrote the star in her caption as she shared images from the event This comes after she was seen with her new boyfriend months after announcing her divorce from Edwin. The star appeared totally smitten with her new lover in Encino, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, on Sunday. The couple could barely keep their hands to themselves as they enjoyed a jog together amid her ongoing cancer battle. In photos exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, Mellencamp's new beau wrapped his arms around her from behind, before pulling her close and planting a kiss on her cheek. In another heartfelt moment, he sweetly adjusted her hat, worn to protect her bald scalp. Mom-of-three Mellencamp - dressed casual in a khaki waterproof and navy-blue jogging bottoms - now has stage 4 melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer. In February, she announced that, after weeks of 'severe and debilitating headaches', doctors discovered the cancer has spread to her brain and lungs. Despite the serious diagnosis, Mellencamp is bravely pressing on, telling fans in April: 'I'm just thinking about all the goals that I have for the future for myself and for my kids.' And she certainly seemed in good spirits on Sunday, with her new man also opting for comfortable workout gear, donning a white T-shirt and black sweatpants. His short-sleeved top revealed his heavily tattooed arms. While his identity is not yet known, a source confirmed that Mellencamp 'is dating him' and is very 'happy.' In March, Mellencamp said that she was throwing herself back into the dating scene following her divorce. Speaking in a podcast interview, she said: '[I've] already been on more dates with new people. 'Well, I'm on a second date. So, I went on a first date, pre-the thing, and then I went on a second date yesterday actually. He's really cute and nice.' Shortly after the divorce, a source claimed to the Daily Mail that infidelity with her horse trainer Simon Schoreder had been the catalyst for her shock split. Nearly two months after the news of Mellencamp and Arroyave's separation and the affair scandal came to light, horse trainer Schoreder's wife Karli Postel also filed for divorce. Postel had been pregnant at the time of the alleged affair. In her divorce papers, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, with their date of separation listed as September 22, 2024. Mellencamp finally broke her silence on the end of her marriage in February. 'Me and Edwin had some of the most amazing years and the most amazing times, and when we met it was hot and it was all the things, and then there would be somebody else,' she confessed. 'And I'd be like, "It's OK, I'm gonna work through it, I'm gonna make him love me more!" Then you have kids and things happen,' she continued. 'Probably at the point in time when Edwin was ready to start working on it and really change, I probably stopped.' Mellencamp was first diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in 2022, but her condition took a terrifying turn earlier this year when it progressed to Stage 4. However, in a recent video on social media, Mellencamp revealed her tumors have significantly shrunk, and that doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free. 'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she told her fans on Instagram. She was initially told by doctors she had a fifty–fifty chance of survival.

Lousie Redknapp, 50, wows fans as she shows off her toned body in a bikini on girls' holiday
POP BEAUTY She recently spoke to The Sun about her new relationship LOUISE Redknapp wowed fans as she posed in a bikini top on her girls' holiday to New York. The 50-year-old star shared a snap of herself enjoying the sunny weather in the Big Apple. 5 5 5 Throwing her hands in the air, Louise flaunted her toned figure in the top and low cut shorts. She captioned her shots: "A little girls trip with Sue." Fans were quick to comment on her holiday snaps, with one saying: "Wow u look incredible". Another said: "Still stunning after all these years!" Louise found love again almost two years ago with boyfriend Drew, 41. Since then, they've appeared inseparable, often enjoying music events and spending their summers attending festivals, including Glastonbury and Boardmasters. If Louise hasn't been going to festivals, she's been performing at them, with the singer launching a comeback with her Greatest Hits celebrating her career to date. She's also just released her fifth solo album Confessions. The Strictly winner was with ex Jamie Redknapp for 20 years and they share two sons. 'What's great is (Drew) is brilliant on a friendship level with the boys,' she told The Sun last month. Louise Redknapp says she felt 'the lowest a human could get' when she split from husband Jamie and 'almost gave up' 'They get on great with him. And that, for me, is super-important. There's just a real mutual respect there. Obviously Beau is still at school, but we spend a lot of time together.' The nine-year age gap inevitably led to Drew being described as her 'toyboy' and Louise being referred to as a 'cougar'. But it's 'water off a duck's back,' she added. 'For me, age is irrelevant – within reason – but he's not 22. I think it's more about the person and the life experiences and the connection that's important.' However, Louise isn't thinking about walking down the aisle a second time. 'Oh, I'm not even thinking that far ahead. I'm not even going there. Manifesting is a real hint to Drew. 'I'm not going to lie and say it isn't. But it's also a life lesson to be present in the here and now, so I'm not thinking down the line. I'm enjoying my relationship, my kids, my album and my life." After their split her ex Jamie went on to marry model Frida Andersson in 2021. 5 5

BREAKING NEWS Star MLB pitcher's season is over due to Tommy John surgery in devastating diagnosis
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo has announced that his ace starting pitcher, who just signed with the team in free agency, will not be appearing again this season. Corbin Burnes, who inked a six-year, $120million contract with the Diamondbacks in the offseason, will undergo Tommy John surgery and end his 2025 campaign, as first reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan. Three days ago, the Diamondbacks put Burnes on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation in his pitching arm. Burnes had been pulled from his start against the Washington Nationals after he gave up a single to CJ Abrams, then gestured to the dugout with his glove, and yelled in frustration. Lovullo told reporters at the time that his pitcher was seeking a second opinion following an MRI. Now, the pitcher will go under the knife to get Tommy John for the first time in his eight-year career in the majors. Burnes was by far the best pitcher among the Diamondbacks starting rotation and his absence could spell a tragic end to Arizona's 2025 season that is only in its infancy. The 30-year-old California native joined the team after starting his career with the Milwaukee Brewers. He was traded to the Baltimore Orioles prior to the 2024 season. This year, Burnes led the team in ERA (2.66) and pitching WAR (2.1). He had also given up the fewest hits (49), earned runs (19) and home runs (7) among Arizona's starters.
