Report: Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Revealed That They're Engaged
Much has been made lately about Bill Belichick's relationship with his girlfriend Jordon Hudson. As a result, it's not a surprise that a nugget buried in a fresh New York Times piece on the 24-year-old Hudson is gaining steam Tuesday. According to Times reporter Katherine Rosman, Belichick and Hudson might actually be more than just boyfriend and girlfriend. Reportedly there's reason to believe the pair are engaged. "Ms. Hudson has told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married," Rosman wrote. Interestingly, that line about a possible proposal from the 73-year-old eight-time Super Bowl champion is essentially a throwaway in the lengthy profile on Hudson. However, it has certainly caught the eyes of the football and gossip worlds, which this May-December relationship has straddled of late. If Belichick and Hudson actually are engaged, we'd be shocked if either of them confirmed it publicly, at least not for a while. While Hudson has taken recent criticism stemming from her behavior during a CBS News interview that aired in late April, Belichick gushed over her during his appearance on ABC's Good Morning America last week. 'She's been terrific through the whole process, and she's been really helpful to me,' Belichick said. 'She does the business things that don't relate to North Carolina that come up in my life, so I can concentrate football and that's really what I want to do.' The longtime New England Patriots head coach would not discuss Hudson more in-depth, telling interviewer Michael Strahan that he wasn't going to expound on a "personal relationship." However, Belichick credited the former cheerleader and Miss Maine pageant contestant with being his "creative muse" during the writing of his new book, 'The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football." 'I acknowledge her in the book, she was very helpful on that with the tribute pages and also giving a perspective of the book from kind of the business side,' Belichick told Strahan. 'Sometimes I get a little football technical, and so she did a good job of keeping that balance there.'

How Bill Belichick used milk money to beat Miami Dolphins in 2019: Book excerpt
There's a lesson, we suppose, to be gleaned from Bill Belichick's freshly published book, 'The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football,' in a chapter that discusses his final victory over the Dolphins in Miami in 2019. It's about a gift Antonio Brown had in mind for Tom Brady. Advertisement It's about spilled milk. And it's about possibly the strangest phone call Bill Belichick ever had to make, trying to dip into the coffers of the New England Patriots to pay for that spilled milk. More: Miami Dolphins' 25 players who will be unrestricted free agents after the 2025 season Here's Belichick's account of how it unfolded: As the 2019 preseason wound down, the Patriots signed Brown, the enigmatic receiver, who quickly earned Brady's respect with a deep dive into the offensive playbook. In turn, Brown decided to give Brady a present: some bison and milk.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Milk? Both men have unusual diets, but milk? Advertisement 'Not from a grocery store,' Belichick wrote. 'No, this was special milk. Very special. Flown in from the Midwest. It had nutritional superpowers, and it certainly should have because it apparently cost over $500 a bottle.' You'd think at that price, it would come with a warning labeled 'perishable.' You'd be wrong. It arrived on Friday afternoon, two days before New England's road opener in Miami on Sept. 15, but too late for Brown to present it to Brady after practice. 'Even Antonio's magic milk couldn't survive spending a night next to Tom's locker at room temperature,' Belichick wrote.

Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Brown felt bad because his special gift was ruined. Advertisement Brady felt bad because Brown felt bad. What's a coach to do? 'We were all crying over spoiled milk,' Belichick wrote. 'Unfortunately, it fell to me to arrange with an understandably skeptical business office at the Patriots the need for reimbursement, and quickly. (Imagine having to be the person saying this on a professional phone call: 'So, look, I'll preface this with… yes, I know this is hard to believe, but it's Tom, it's AB, they've got a kind of football bromance thing going on right now.… If it were anyone else, I'd for sure tell them to get lost, but we should do this. Yes, I know it's thirty-five hundred dollars for groceries.' ') Tom Brady, Antonio Brown connect on 20-yard TD pass in Patriots' win Was the money well spent? You decide: Just before halftime, the Patriots broke open the game when Brady hit Brown with a 20-yard touchdown pass. Brady threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns and Brown caught four passes for 56 yards to cruise to a 43-0 victory, which represents New England's most recent victory at Hard Rock Stadium. Advertisement 'Would you spend $3,500 to ensure the best person on your team gave their best performance when it mattered most?' Belichick wrote. Would you pay twice that to immediately relieve your star employee of a depressive episode, no matter how head-shaking? Absolutely, and you know it.' A tale as odd as this wouldn't be complete without a fittingly strange postscript. Brown was released by Belichick a few days later. 'Signing him definitely was not worth the millions we owed him in signing bonus payments,' Belichick wrote. 'But I don't regret buying that milk.'

Michael Strahan Awkwardly Grills Bill Belichick About His Girlfriend Jordon Hudson In ‘GMA' Interview
Bill Belichick has been making the rounds promoting his book The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football, and he's stayed a hot topic on social media, but not for his biography. The former New England Patriots coach's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has derailed the narrative around his new head coaching job at the University of North Carolina, and he tried to course correct during an interview with Michael Strahan on Good Morning America . The former linebacker got his lone Super Bowl ring against Belichick in 2008, and they were once again trying to best each other when the coach was asked about all the attention his personal life with Hudson has been getting. 'She's been terrific through the whole process, and she's been very helpful to me,' he begins. 'She handles the business things that don't relate to Carolina that come up in my life so I can concentrate on football.' He even acknowledges how helpful she was in putting the final touches on the book, such as looking at it from a business perspective and not getting too technical about football. That wasn't enough for Strahan —who earlier clarified that the Maine beauty queen wasn't on set— as he pushed further, asking what she means to him. 'We have a good personal relationship,' he adds. 'And you know I'm not talking about personal relationships, Michael, you know that.' Belichick confirms that he is indeed happy and laughs when Strahan jokes about being astonished that the 73-year-old is doing yoga nowadays. 'Only happy people do Yoga,' Strahan adds, as Belichick stays pretty silent. Strahan eventually wraps things up, noting that he hopes the attention will soon be refocused on his move into NCAA coaching. Elsewhere in the interview, Belichick talked about following in his father's footsteps at UNC, the difference he's experiencing at the helm of a college team, and what it was like during his legendary six-ring run with the Pats alongside Tom Brady. Talk of Belichick's personal relationship skyrocketed when she interrupted a CBS interview when Belichick was asked about how they met. Then rumors swelled about her growing real estate purchases in Boston, her job at his company, and alleged meddling on UNC's campus. See social media's reaction to the latest interview below.

Tom Brady's chemistry with Antonio Brown cost Bill Belichick $5K worth of milk – here's why
Bill Belichick once spent $5K on milk just to protect Tom Brady and Antonio Brown's bond (Credit: Getty Images) Bill Belichick has always been known as a no-nonsense, strategic mind in football—but behind his gruff exterior lies a surprising commitment to the off-field dynamics that make teams click. A recent revelation from his appearance on The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark sheds light on the extraordinary lengths he once went to in order to preserve a budding relationship between two NFL stars—Tom Brady and Antonio Brown . You won't believe why Belichick shelled out $5K on milk for Tom Brady's locker room harmony While promoting his new book, The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football, the legendary coach opened up about a 2019 episode that seemed trivial on the surface but held deeper significance. That year, during Brown's brief and chaotic tenure with the New England Patriots , Belichick tried to help the two superstars form a strong connection. It wasn't about playbooks or locker room speeches. It was, surprisingly, about milk. 'Tom had Antonio come and stay at his house, wanted to embrace him, bring him onto the team,' Belichick recalled. 'Antonio ordered this special milk for Brady, cost $5,000. To make a long story short, it got mixed up and ended up in the mail room for too long, and the milk went bad.' The situation, bizarre as it sounds, quickly became a litmus test for Belichick's leadership style. Rather than shrugging it off, he made the decision to replace the milk—all $5,000 worth of it—to avoid any emotional disconnect between Brady and Brown. 'We go out and get $5,000 worth of this special milk, and give it to Brady from Antonio,' Belichick explained. 'Sometimes, you've just got to do the right thing, and I didn't want to ruin the relationship between Brown and Brady on this spoiled milk.' While Brown's time in New England was short-lived—just 13 days, cut short by misconduct allegations—the gesture clearly left a mark. Brady was believed to be disappointed by the team's swift decision to part ways with the wide receiver. The quarterback's attempt to bring Brown into his circle, even letting him stay at his home, was a move meant to create trust and camaraderie—something Belichick fully supported. Interestingly, the Brady-Brown saga didn't end there. The pair would later reunite with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and ultimately win a Super Bowl together. Whether that $5,000 milk incident had any influence on their rekindled chemistry is up for debate, but it's hard to ignore how small gestures can ripple into greater outcomes.
