Jordon Hudson is telling people that she and Bill Belichick are engaged (report)
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.

The awkward coverup over Channing Crowder's Bill Belichick/Jordon Hudson comments continues
Contrary to the opinions of those who have nothing better to do than complain about our periodic Bill Belichick/Jordon Hudson stories, we do many other things than write about the most oddly compelling story in all of football. For example, I've resisted (for now) the temptation to post more items with quotes from the recent visit by Pablo Torre to #PFTPM for a 45-minute chat on all things Belichick/Hudson. Some things, however, can't be ignored. In an article focusing on the recent sports media misadventures of Ryan Clark, John Mamola of Barrett Sports Media mentioned something very interesting. The portion of the WQAM radio show in which The Pivot Podcast co-host Channing Crowder said Hudson 'choreographed' Belichick's solo interview with Clark is gone. Expunged. Disappeared. Kaput. From the show's website. From its Apple podcast feed. From its Spotify podcast feed. We checked, just to be sure. Both the portion of the show during which the comments were made on May 16 (hour three) and the full May 16 show are gone from all three platforms. Only hours one, two, and four remain. Here's what Crowder said, beyond sharing his perception that Hudson 'choreographed' the interview: 'She kind of coordinates and brand manages. She has her paws on the situation. It's different . . . It was weird to be around Belichick and Jordon. . . . I don't see Belichick in that light. But he just smiles and nods. . . . His old lady is different. . . . She lurks. It's weird to know him as Coach Belichick running the entire organization as G.M., head coach, talent coordinator, all that stuff, and then to see this tiny, little 95-pound girl kind of — pretty much telling him what to do.' Wrote Mamola: 'Did Ryan Clark ask to have that hour removed? Did Bill Belichick or Jordon Hudson ask to have it removed?' Those are very fair questions. It's an extreme measure for any radio station to delete archived audio. The longer it's up before it's gone, the more awkward it is to scrub it from the web. While it's not known whether Clark's, Belichick's, and/or Hudson's fingerprints are on the removal of the Crowder audio, it's just another delayed-action development that kicks up the broader story's otherwise settled dust. Clark's one-on-one with Belichick delved into issues that had begun to fade away from view, such as the disastrous CBS interview. Crowder's apology, followed by Clark's unpersuasive effort to show that Hudson didn't control the Belichick interview, woke up the echoes of a wrinkle that had been largely forgotten after the control-alt-delete of Memorial Day weekend. Bottom line? It's all very weird. And Clark pulled himself and his popular podcast into the lingering morass by doing something seemingly far more detailed, planned, and (yes) choreographed than the usual podcast interview, where the guest shows up, talks for a while, and then leaves. It's obvious at this point that the Belichick interview was anything but a spontaneous and organic conversation, free from selective editing over which Belichick (and/or Hudson) may have had control. The best evidence of this fact is that Clark finagled the first (and only, so far) sit-down interview with Belichick and Hudson — and killed it. That general strangeness of the Belichick/Hudson story has returned to the center of the radar screen because it wasn't enough for Crowder to apologize for saying what he said about Hudson. Those words had to be erased from digital existence. At the behest of someone. Someone who doesn't realize the simple wisdom of leaving well enough alone.

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson ‘thriving in people's jealousy' after controversies engulf couple
Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson are shaking off the critics when it comes to their love story. With all eyes consistently on the couple, an insider told the Daily Mail this week how the constant chatter surrounding Belichick, 73, and Hudson, 'acts as a fuel for their relationship and makes them even more in love.' 'They are thriving in people's jealousy,' the source said. 'They both have hit the lottery and are all about each other and they both feel that they make each other better.' 5 Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick 'are thriving in people's jealousy,' a source told the Daily Mail. Getty Images 5 The couple went public with their relationship in 2024. jordon_isabella/Instagram A former college cheerleader, Hudson met Belichick aboard a flight to West Palm Beach in 2021. They went public with their relationship three years later. Although they've made headlines for some time, the inner workings of their relationship reached a fever pitch in April when Hudson punted a question during Belichick's 'CBS Sunday Morning' interview about how they met. 'We're not talking about this,' she told reporter Tony Dokoupil. 5 Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson have recently been at the center of engagement rumors. jordon_isabella/Instagram The fallout of the interview was swift, with former ESPN personality Pablo Torre dropping bombshell allegations about Hudson on his 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' program this month. In the wake of Friday's report about Belichick's and Hudson's past Airbnb stay, which included Ring camera footage of the Super Bowl winner exiting the property shirtless, Hudson slammed Torre in a since-deleted post. Torre has defended his reporting. 5 The Daily Mail source said of the couple, 'they are happy, and they are in love, and they want to get married.' AP 'Everyone seems to want to pounce on Bill and Jordon if there is any type of misfortune that comes their way,' the insider said. Despite the controversies that have engulfed the couple, the insider posits 'they are happy' and are envisioning next steps. 'Jordon is a bad guy to the public, but when it comes to both of them, they are happy, and they are in love, and they want to get married,' the source said. 5 Bill Belichick is preparing for his first season as football coach of the UNC Tar Heels.

She allegedly confronted Hudson at a Nantucket holiday party last December.

Ryan Clark acknowledges coordination with Bill Belichick over editing of Pivot interview
The Pivot Podcast episode featuring an interview with Bill Belichick could be destined to serve as the basis for an episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out. After the extended Memorial Day weekend, which operates as a de facto hard reset for many media narratives and storylines, Channing Crowder of The Pivot Podcast issued a public apology for things he had said more than a week earlier about Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend/publicist/handler/idea mill/creative muse Jordon Hudson. Which brought the story back to the front burner. Again. Among other things, Crowder had said Hudson "choreographed" the interview. After Crowder apologized, co-host Ryan Clark denied that the interview was "choreographed." While then explaining several things about the interview that sounded a lot like, you know, choreography. We published an article (it's available here) and posted a link on Twitter. Clark retweeted our link with this message: "Well Mike. It wasn't a pre-show meeting. Both Channing & Fred [Taylor] were on the same flight delayed from Miami. I was already in NY. So I was there first. As for serving the viewers we will not do that at the expense of people who volunteer to give us their time. We have had various reasons for edits, & exemptions. From contractual agreements, second thoughts, or just not liking how it felt. Moving slimy in the name of clicks is not worth the integrity of our show. Jordon was not contacted nor involved in any conversation about the timing in which what we documented could be released. That conversation took place between Bill & I." Clark's message ignores most of the points we made. Why was Hudson involved in a 90-minute meeting before the interview started? Why was what would have been the first EXCLUSIVE! sit-down with Belichick and Hudson not released? What does this mean, and how was it reflected in the interview process, or the editing? 'Jordon wanted to be represented in a certain way, wanted their relationship to be represented in a certain way. . . . And the conversations we had afterwards, before the show was released, what we'll show or what can we show about Bill speaking about her and the rest of our interview?' By insisting that Hudson had no control over the interview, Clark seems to be saying Belichick exercised extensive control over the interview. Clark also may have revealed that some sort of "contractual agreement" covered the Belichick interview. Then there's this comment: "As for serving the viewers we will not do that at the expense of people who volunteer to give us their time." At some level, that's fair. No one should expect an interviewer to try to attack the reputation of or destroy the relationship with the subject of the interview. But it's not normal for an interviewer (when the interviewer is an actual journalist) to coordinate with the subject of the interview before, during, or after the interview. It's also not normal for an interviewer to get approval from the subject of the interview as to the questions that will be asked and/or the answers that will be used, and those that will land on the cutting-room floor. Frankly, it feels as if Clark allowed himself to become part of Belichick's external P.R. team. Exercising journalistic freedom and integrity doesn't mean Clark should have "mov[ed] slimy in the name of clicks." However, at the other extreme resides the danger of moving slimy in the name of access. And friendship. And financial gain. And whatever else led to a one-on-one between Clark and Belichick that seemed every bit as choreographed as a lawyer conducting a scripted direct examination of a star witness — especially during the part where Clark seemingly aided and abetted the airing of Belichick's ongoing beef with CBS. In summary, there's something very strange about all of this. The more Crowder and Clark talk about it, the stranger it gets. There apparently were communications between Clark and Belichick, after the interview ended, regarding how it would be edited and presented. There could be a "contractual agreement" regarding the interview. There's definitely raw video of Clark interviewing Belichick and Hudson together. So, yes, this looks like a job for Pablo Torre Finds Out.
