Bill Belichick’s reported split from Jordon Hudson has been thrown into doubt, after Hudson was confirmed to have attended the University of North Carolina’s game against Miami — despite reports that the couple had quietly ended their relationship late last year.
TMZ first reported on 30 October that Belichick, 74, and Hudson, 25, had ended their romantic relationship “late last year”, while remaining close friends and business partners. People subsequently confirmed the breakup, reporting that the pair remain friends and continue working together professionally. But people close to Hudson have denied it, and the story has become a mess of conflicting accounts.
“Do you work for a tabloid now?”
Belichick was asked about the reports on Monday 2 November and snapped at the WRAL reporter: “Do you work for a tabloid now?” He added: “I’ll keep my personal comments and relationships to myself if that’s alright with you.” Neither Belichick nor Hudson has publicly confirmed the separation.
Meanwhile, WRAL’s Pat Welter reported that multiple sources who know or work with Hudson said they were not aware of any breakup, and that one source said Belichick attended a Hudson cheerleading competition in April. Hudson posted a photograph of the two holding hands at the Kentucky Derby on 2 May, about six months after the split was said to have happened.
She was at the game after all
The New York Post reported on the night of the TMZ story that Hudson “seemed to skip” UNC’s 38-35 loss to Miami on 31 October, and WRAL reported she was not spotted at the game either. But People confirmed on 5 November that Hudson did attend the game, directly contradicting those reports. She was not seated anywhere conspicuous, and her presence was not confirmed until afterwards.
Hudson still lists herself as chief operating officer of Belichick Productions, a part-time role she has held since August 2024, with no end date on the listing as of 1 November. Page Six reported that Belichick’s family is “relieved” by the reported split but still has concerns about her business role.
