Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, is not about to let anyone question their controversial relationship.

“Never been too worried about what anybody else thinks. Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what’s right,” Belichick, 73, said during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning published on Sunday, April 27, when asked how he deals with the online chatter surrounding his relationship with Hudson, 24.

“How did you guys meet?” Tony Dokoupil asked, to which Hudson interjected, “Not talking about this.” Dokoupil said in a voiceover, “It’s a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on.”

Hudson and Belichick have been linked since 2023. Before the pair confirmed their relationship, former New England Patriots player Rob Gronkowski appeared to poke fun at Belichick’s romance with a younger woman during Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady special in May 2024.

Jordon Hudson is defending her and Bill Belichick’s romance on Valentine’s Day. “Let’s take a deeper dive into the hot topic of the day… ‘LOVE’…,” Hudson, 24, wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 14, alongside a photo of her and Belichick, 72. “‘What constitutes love?’ or ‘what makes someone worthy of loving?’ are questions that […]

“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked,” Gronkowski, 35, claimed. “But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend.”

In October 2024, Hudson confirmed their relationship and shared photos of her and Belichick via social media. “Summation of Summer,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.

The pair made their red carpet debut at the American Museum of Natural History’s 2024 Museum Gala in New York two months later.

“The evening was saturated with all of my favorite things: friendship, education, philanthropy, glamour, beet salad, Billy, dance-worthy music, ornithological & oceanic exhibits,” Hudson gushed via Instagram at the time. “We created so many great memories together while supporting a great cause; my heart is filled to the brim!!!”

Since hard-launching their romance, Hudson has frequently clapped back at those criticizing their relationship.

“Let’s take a deeper dive into the hot topic of the day: LOVE’… ‘What constitutes love?’ or ‘What makes someone worthy of loving?’ are questions that require a deep analysis and could possibly enable one to understand the romances that they may not understand nor relate to,” Hudson wrote via Instagram in February. “With such a limited character count.”

Hudson said that “there is no objective criteria for what constitutes someone’s worthiness of love” and “we do not need to justify ‘why’ we love a particular person.”

“The ways in which we develop our biological preferences are deeply personal in which we owe no justification nor explanation,” Hudson continued. “Love does not discriminate against sex, skin color, religion, age or ability. Love does not fluctuate along with someone’s body weight. Love does not lie within a perfect complexion. Love is not as deep as one’s pockets. Love does not look the same every time you see it.”

Hudson claimed that “love is eternal” and shouldn’t be judged by people, concluding, “It is never OK to harass or abuse a person based upon who they love.”
