Jenna Bush Hager once again weighed in on Coach Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson‘s controversial relationship on Today With Jenna & Friends, where she was joined by sports correspondent Erin Andrews, who knows Belichick quite well.
The headline-making couple came up during their morning chat when Bush Hager announced that Hudson had competed that past weekend in the Miss Maine USA pageant, where Belichick was spotted in attendance.
“Yeah, she placed third,” Andrews contributed.
Bush Hager seemed surprised that Hudson didn’t win the pageant. “Oh, she didn’t even win?” she asked before continuing with the segment. “Well, anyway, TheDailyMail.com posted photos of Bill sitting front and center.” Bush Hager’s off-hand comment sparked some laughter from the people on set.
Andrews shared that she had heard the pageant was a hot-ticket event, likely because of Belichick and Hudson’s involvement.
She went on to share that she has asked Tom Brady for his thoughts on Belichick’s relationship, though she did not share what the NFL Hall of Famer specifically said about the matter.
“I gotta say, people have asked a lot, and I work with Brady so I have been asking him a lot, ‘What do you think about this?’ Because he knows coach as a coach and I know coach from being on the sidelines,” she explained. “And look, Bill Belichick is royalty.”
She continued, “He is the Mount Rushmore. I know how he is on the field, he’s very matter of fact. You get two seconds to talk to him, I am full-blown stomach cramps when I get ready to talk to him because I don’t want to mess up… So, Jordon’s got the congeniality points if she’s got him showing up front row.”
Bush Hager also asked Andrews what her thoughts were on the ripped sweatshirt Belichick wore during the viral 60 Minutes interview that Hudson famously interrupted.
Andrews admitted she was surprised by his wardrobe choice, but noted that Belichick is known for his eclectic sense of style. “I don’t think I’ve ever really seen coach like that before,” she admitted. “He’s a character but this is a side no one’s seen before.”
Bush Hager added in agreement, “We’re all surprised by it.”
This isn’t the first time the couple has been shaded on Today. Guest host Wanda Sykes made it very clear that she did not believe Hudson and Belichick met on an airplane like they claimed.
Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
