The relationship between Jordon Hudson and former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been one of the biggest headlines in sports in the past few weeks.
After Belichick’s disastrous interview with CBS Sunday Morning where Hudson shut down a question and then stormed off in anger, more and more prodding and poking has gone into the background of their relationship.
Sports journalist Pablo Torre has been pursuing details about this story and what has come out since their relationship has gone public.
Recently, Torre went on Boston sports radio show Toucher and Hardy and revealed that Hudson’s interactions with Belichick started much earlier than believed.
Hudson and Belichick reportedly met on a flight back in February of 2021. Belichick was caught on a Ring camera sneaking out of Hudson’s house in 2023.
But what Torre has come to learn is that Hudson had been around Belichick and the Patriots long before the images of the shirtless coach were taken.

Sports journalist Pablo Torre, who has been pursuing this story, revealed that Hudson may have begun gaining access to Belichick’s private life sooner than many believed

‘But that video being the thing that was released in 2023, something people may not know, that I didn’t even have time for in the episode, is the first time people spotted Jordon Hudson around the Patriots, around Bill Belichick, was when he was the coach of the Patriots,’ Pablo Torre went on to reveal.
‘In the fall of 2021, it wasn’t 2023. They’ve known about her showing up as early as the fall of 2021. She was sitting, I was told, in Bill’s outdoor seats at Gillette [Stadium]… she was spotted in those seats as early as that.’
It’s a shocking revelation that appears to overlap with Belichick’s relationship with former Boston news anchor Linda Holliday.
Belichick, who is now the coach at the University of North Carolina, has been navigating questions about his relationship with Hudson ever since the CBS interview.
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 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.’
In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick’s interview with CBS last month

‘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.
Belichick will be back on TV screens later this week when he sits down with Michael Strahan for an exclusive interview on Good Morning America.
