Bill Belichick may be heading down the aisle. According to The New York Times, his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has told at least one person they are engaged. The report offered no further details about a wedding.
Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader, was recently seen wearing a ring on her left hand. The sighting happened at a luncheon with Belichick at the American Museum of Natural History in New York last month. The ring immediately fueled speculation.
Belichick, now 73, has become the subject of intense public attention. Some are questioning the dynamic of his relationship with Hudson. Upton Bell, once the Patriots’ general manager, weighed in. He pointed out the irony of Belichick being known for control but now possibly influenced by someone else. Bell emphasized that control only works if it’s allowed.

News of the couple’s relationship first broke in June. That was five months after Belichick’s January exit from the Patriots. He left after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl wins. Since then, his connection with Hudson has drawn constant headlines.
The situation intensified following Belichick’s appearance on CBS Sunday Morning on April 17. During the interview, Hudson stopped him from answering a question about how they met. The moment sparked backlash and media frenzy.

Multiple reports since then have claimed Hudson is trying to control Belichick’s personal and professional decisions. Critics say she may be influencing his future in football.
Neither Hudson nor Belichick spoke to The New York Times for the article. Spokespeople for the Patriots, the NFL, and the University of North Carolina’s athletic department all declined to comment.
Despite the public speculation, no official announcement about an engagement has been made. For now, the couple remains silent amid the storm.
