Legendary football coach Bill Belichick may be decades older than his girlfriend Jordon Hudson, but she showed the world who wears the pants in their relationship during a Sunday interview.
Belichick, 73, was prodded into answering questions about his relationship with Hudson, 24, as he spoke to CBS News’ Sunday Morning journalist Tony Dokoupil. Describing Hudson as a “constant presence” at Belichick’s side, Dokoupil asked the former New England Patriots head coach about how he felt about all the attention paid to their relationship.
“I’ve never been too worried about what everyone else thinks,” said Belichick, who is gearing up to step into his role as head football coach at UNC-Chapel Hill. He added that he just tries to “to do what I feel like is best for me, and what’s right.”

When Dokoupil attempted to press for more details about the couple, asking Belichick how they met, Hudson shut down the question off camera.
“We’re not talking about this,” she said. As Dokoupil turned to question her with, “No?” She retorted, “No.”
With Belichick gearing up to make his regular-season coaching debut for the Tar Heels on Sept. 1, Hudson, a former cheerleader, has been focusing her energy on competing in the Miss Maine USA pageant, the New York Post reported. She has posted several photos and videos taking her fans behind pageant prep.
She’s also taking an increasingly large role in Belichick’s business decisions.
Belichick asked that she be copied on all emails sent to him, suggesting that she also has a hand in managing his professional life, according to reports from Axios and The Assembly.
On the heels of the awkward CBS News interview, sports fans roasted Belichick for appearing powerless.
“My Sunday morning routine is always coffee and CBS Sunday Morning. It’s a feel good show. The opposite of controversial,” wrote Barstool sports founder Dave Portnoy on X. “So image my surprise this morning when they had the most awkward Bill Belichick interview I’ve ever seen.”
He added, “Like I was squirming in my seat.”
Sports betting analyst Tommy Lorenzo suggested Hudson would be the one calling the shots on the football field as well.
He quipped on X, “I’m not betting one penny on North Carolina’s🏈season win total until I hear what defense Belichik’s girlfriend decides to run this season.”
Another right-wing commentator theorized that Belichick might have met Hudson online. They tweeted, “Any doubt that Belichik (sic) met Hudson on a sugar daddy site? I can’t think of how else they could have possible met & interacted.”
Wherever they met, at least one commentator suggested that Belichick was doing just fine.
“I want to be Bill belichik ..” they wrote.
