Bill Belichick addresses 24-year-old girlfriend's 'job responsibilities' amid viral interview fallout
Former New England Patriots football coach Bill Belichick is hoping to set the record straight on his working relationship with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
In an interview on 'The Pivot Podcast' to promote his new book, ' The Art of Winning: Lessons From a Life in Football,' on Friday, Belichick spoke in more detail about how Hudson helps him juggle his opportunities off the field.
'As I stay focused on football, some of the other opportunities that come along, Jordon looks at those and can dig into a little bit deeper,' he said. 'But really what she does helps me spend my time on football, and that's what's important to me.'
The 73-year-old coach added that Hudson helps him schedule what he described as 'personal opportunities,' such as media interviews or speaking arrangements.
He also said Hudson gave him tips on things to exclude or include in his book, such as removing technical terms from certain chapters and dedicating page numbers to certain players and family members.
Belichick and Hudson went viral during an interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning' last month in which Hudson herself blocked the now-University of North Carolina football coach from answering a question about their relationship.
When CBS interviewer Tony Dokoupil asked how the couple met, Hudson, sitting at a desk in the background, jumped in and said: 'We're not talking about this.'
'No?' Dokoupil said.
'No,' she responded.
The uncomfortable exchange appeared to generate more speculation about the information the couple was trying to keep private.
Belichick since released a statement saying the couple had nothing to hide about how they met. He also said in jest during the podcast interview that he took up yoga because he is 'trying to stay young.'
This week, Belichick got into another terse exchange with an interviewer on ESPN, where he was questioned if his relationship with Hudson would affect his ability to lead the football program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
'That's really off to the side,' he told ESPN on Tuesday. 'It's a personal relationship, and she doesn't have anything to do with UNC football.'
Belichick has the most Super Bowl wins of any head coach in American football, with six wins under his belt at the helm of the New England Patriots. He is considered one of the greatest coaches of all time.

But despite the sound issues, the American rock band kept going with their performance. Their show was very well received by fans who took to social media in droves to praise the band, and declare that they should have been a headline act. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter -one fan gushed: "Haim were and are exceptional." American group 'confirm' secret Glastonbury set as they tease fans with big clue A second agreed: "HAIM's (not so) secret set at #Glastonbury was outstanding. Catch it on iPlayer if you missed it, it's so worth it." "The irony that the best TBAs Lewis Capaldi, Pulp & Haim all brilliant and could easily have headlined," noted a third user. While someone else wrote: "Haim back where they belong, Glasto." And a fifth added: "Only a matter of time before HAIM headline Glastonbury. Should have been this year. Such a fun band." Glastonbury 2025 - confirmed acts so far TICKETS to the 2025 festival sold out in just minutes before some of the acts were even confirmed. Here is who has been confirmed so far.

In a conversation with radio star Jo Whiley, Alana admitted: "We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite. "[Be]cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie." She continued: "It was like, 'What is going on? How did we get here?' And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. "And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world." 6 The trio suffered a technical blunder as some of their set was reportedly drowned out Credit: Alamy 6 However, fans still praised the group as they carried on Credit: Getty

Report: Thunder, C/F Jaylin Williams agree to 3-year extension
June 29 - The NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder have taken the first step toward keeping their roster together, agreeing with center/forward Jaylin Williams on a three-year, $24 million contract extension, ESPN reported Sunday. Sunday is Williams' 23rd birthday. The Thunder held a $2.1 million option for the 2025-26 season, which it declined in favor of the extension. ESPN reported the third year of the new deal also is a team option. Williams was entering the final season of a four-year, $8.2 million contract. The Thunder selected Williams in the second round (No. 34 overall) of the 2022 NBA Draft out of Arkansas. The 6-foot-8 Williams was limited because of injuries to 47 games (nine starts) in the recently completed season, in which he averaged 5.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He has career averages of 5.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 165 games (46 starts). --Field Level Media
