Bill Belichick and his much-younger girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, have reportedly ended their relationship.
The 74-year-old North Carolina Tar Heels football head coach and the 25-year-old former beauty pageant contestant quietly went their separate ways “late last year,” according to a TMZ report.
Despite their rumored breakup, the pair have reportedly maintained a friendly relationship and continue to work together professionally.
A source told the outlet that Belichick and Hudson remain “committed to their business partnerships and remain close friends.”
The insider did not reveal what led to their alleged split or which of them ultimately decided to call it quits.
According to TMZ, Belichick and Hudson, pictured together in May, quietly ended their romance “late last year” but remain “committed to their business partnerships and remain close friends.”
Despite their reported split, the former couple have continued to present a united front, keeping their breakup out of the public eye until now.
Belichick and Hudson have made several public appearances together throughout the year, including at the Kentucky Derby in May and UNC’s home football game against Syracuse in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Oct. 24.
Page Six contacted representatives for both Belichick and Hudson for comment but has yet to receive a response.
Meanwhile, in September, Belichick dismissed speculation that Hudson was overseeing his football coaching career, describing the claims as “ridiculous” during an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Hudson was spotted on the sidelines during a North Carolina Tar Heels football game coached by Belichick as recently as last weekend, as pictured here.
Speculation about Hudson’s involvement in Belichick’s professional life intensified after the former cheerleader was frequently seen supporting him at games and intervened during an interview about their relationship.
The former New England Patriots coach firmly denied allegations that Hudson had excessive influence over his coaching responsibilities, calling the speculation “just a flat-out lie.”
However, he acknowledged that she occasionally assisted him with certain tasks, explaining, “There are some things that she helps me schedule or look at.”
During an April 2025 appearance on “CBS Sunday Morning,” Hudson notably stepped in while Belichick was speaking with host Tony Dokoupil, interrupting after the journalist asked how their romance first began..
Hudson made headlines in April 2025 when she interrupted Belichick’s “CBS Sunday Morning” interview, pictured above, after journalist Tony Dokoupil questioned how their romance began.
“We’re not talking about that,” Hudson firmly declared from off-camera, shutting down the question.
Dokoupil later described Hudson as a “constant presence” during the interview in a voiceover.
During the same conversation, Belichick addressed the public scrutiny surrounding their nearly 50-year age difference, insisting that outside opinions had little influence on his personal life.
“I’ve never been too worried about what everybody else thinks,” he said.
“Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what’s right,” the legendary football coach added.
Belichick and Hudson, pictured together in a social media post, reportedly first crossed paths on a flight in 2021 before their relationship turned romantic a few years later.
Following the controversial CBS interview, Belichick released a statement defending Hudson and expressing frustration over how the conversation was portrayed.
The former New England Patriots coach claimed he was “surprised when unrelated topics were introduced” during what was supposed to be an interview promoting his book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.”
According to Belichick, the discussion veered off-topic “several times,” prompting Hudson, with whom he shared a “personal and professional relationship,” to intervene and “reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion.”
He further accused the program of using “selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative — that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation — which is simply not true.”
Belichick and Hudson reportedly met aboard a plane in 2021, though their connection did not develop into a romantic relationship until several years later, when they began dating.
