Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has been by the North Carolina coach’s side despite things not going quite as planned on the field. From marquee sporting events to cheerleading competitions, it has been a busy offseason for Belichick and Hudson.
As North Carolina travels to Dublin to open the college football season against TCU, it would be a surprise if Hudson did not accompany her favorite coach to Ireland.
Hudson is known for traveling to North Carolina’s away games and also attending the Tar Heels’ home matchups. Months before the college football season began, Hudson took to Instagram to share a tongue-in-cheek message about Belichick.
“Not the first time we’ve trudged through the mud together 🤝🏻🩷🐎,” Hudson noted in the May 2, 2026, message while sharing photos of the couple walking at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby.
Hudson appears to be referencing the amount of public interest in the couple’s relationship. Belichick is 74 years old, while Hudson is 25.
There has been plenty of interest in the 49-year age difference between Belichick and his girlfriend. Yet, the couple appears happy heading into Belichick’s second college football season at North Carolina.
Here’s what you need to know about Belichick and Hudson, including the North Carolina coach’s new nickname.
