Lately, Bill Belichick has been in the news for a whole different ball game. The 73-year-old legendary head coach has been under heavy scrutiny for his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson. And now, courtesy of a three-week-old “CBS Mornings” interview, coupled with investigative reports from veteran sportswriter Pablo Torre, the narrative has become trickier than ever.
The incident further escalated when Torre reported that UNC had banned Hudson from the football facilities, a claim the school later refuted. The 39-year-old journalist not only stood his ground but also doubled down by publishing another episode of the podcast — a report on the infamous security footage that showed Belichick, shirtless, outside of a home. That did not go down well with Hudson.
Bill Belichick’s Girlfriend Jordon Hudson Rips Pablo Torre Over Investigating Relationship
The first domino was Hudson’s off-camera interruption during the CBS interview with journalist Tony Dokoupil. The latter asked the six-time Super Bowl-winning HC about when he and his girlfriend met, but before Belichick could attempt an answer, Hudson decisively stated, “We’re not talking about this.”
What was supposed to be a promotional interview for the iconic NFL coach’s upcoming book, quickly turned into a media frenzy about his fairly recent romantic relationship. Add to this the fact that Belichick and Hudson first met when she was allegedly 19, and he was in his late 60s, the move was widely seen as her attempt to control the narrative.
On a May 9 episode of his podcast, Torre reported that Belichick’s family was concerned about the Hudson relationship and reiterated from a February episode that she once tried to force her way into a commercial that the UNC head coach was starring in with Ben Affleck.
The last straw for Hudson was when Torre reported that she had been disbarred from the UNC campus. The 2024 Miss Maine runner-up decided she’d had enough of the former ESPN host and called him out in a recent Instagram story after he released his May 23 episode.
“Pablo Torre’s ‘findings’ have been nothing short of factually incorrect, slanderous, defamatory, and targeted,” she wrote. “Can y’all please stop giving credibility to this ‘reporter’?”
Hudson added a screengrab of the conversation between her and an Airbnb owner, who sent her a Ring camera link and asked about her “guests” and their “prohibited” parking. The post, however, was deleted within an hour, raising questions about its authenticity.
“I find it bizarrely appropriate, at this point, that Jordon Hudson would post that and then delete it,” Torre told People, adding, “But to be perfectly clear: I stand by our reporting and the episodes we published.”
Belichick and North Carolina continue to officially maintain that Hudson has no interaction with the football program and is only there to help the veteran coach with his P.R. But with reports continuing to state otherwise, it remains to be seen how things turn out from here.
Either way, the relationship between them is going to be a major discussion throughout the upcoming months, as the college football season rolls in.
