Bill Belichick is not answering any questions about his romance with Jordon Hudson following the backlash over his car-crash CBS interview, a North Carolina reporter has revealed.
Hudson, 24, made headlines for the wrong reasons last month when she interrupted her 73-year-old boyfriend's interview with CBS Sunday Morning's Tony Dokoupil to shut down a question about how they first met.
The painfully awkward moment, which went viral on social media, sparked concerns about the nature of their relationship, with many expressing fears over how much control Jordon has over Bill and the distraction she could be causing in his new role as North Carolina head coach.
The NFL legend broke his silence on the matter earlier this week, insisting it is 'a personal relationship' that 'doesn't have anything to do with UNC football' while awkwardly dodging a question about Hudson.
And a few days on from that interview, UNC stopped a local TV reporter from asking Belichick about his younger lover during their own conversation.
Before airing their interview, Brian Murphy of WRAL-TV in Raleigh revealed the school told him not to ask any questions about Hudson and keep them strictly to football amid the controversy surrounding the relationship.
The ongoing Hudson drama took another twist last week after former ESPN reporter Pablo Torre claimed on his podcast that she is no longer welcome at UNC's football facilities.
He reported that high-ranking officials in UNC's athletic department came to a decision last week that she would not be allowed at the football field or inside the facility.
The sports journalist also stated from a source that, 'there is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation - everything he has built and worked for over decades.'
Torre also made the bold claim that the Belichick family 'has been digging into' Hudson, with her antics over the last few weeks raising tons of red flags.
However, a statement from Carolina Athletics to Daily Mail has strongly denied the story of Hudson being banned. It read: 'While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities.'
That statement came a few days before a bombshell report from The Washington Post, which claimed UNC insiders have slammed Belichick 's 'odd' relationship with Hudson and her influence over the head coach.
One Tar Heel employee reportedly even suggested his girlfriend could cost him the job.
'It's just so odd,' the UNC official told the outlet. 'And we just don't know what's coming. Those two decide what they're going to do and they do it.'
'She is very, very involved in the crafting of Bill's projected image, everything you see on Instagram, all of that. I know it's hard to separate out this image of Bill Belichick and Bill Belichick the North Carolina football coach.'
'Maybe it sounds silly for me to try to separate the two things. But really the football side of Bill and now the public side of Bill have become two different things, and she is in charge of the public side.'
Hudson and Belichick were in the limelight over the weekend as she took part in the Miss Maine pageant, eventually finishing third - one place lower than her 2024 effort.
Belichick was spotted front row at the event on Saturday and Sunday, supporting his girlfriend alongside her father.
Despite Hudson's failure to win the crown and a place in Miss USA, it is understood the pair don't believe their fame had a detrimental effect on the results.
