You don’t have to be a huge football fan to recognize the name Bill Belichick.
He was undeniably a successful NFL coach with eight Super Bowl wins and a coaching career with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots that earned him a reputation as one of the greatest coaches in the game.
However, the 73-year-old University of North Carolina football coach’s relationship with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has dominated the more recent headlines.
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Bill elaborated on Jordon’s role in his professional career and personal life, given that their public interactions raised a few eyebrows recently.
For context, a clip of Bill’s appearance on CBS Sunday Morning on April 27 went viral when Jordon interrupted the interview. When Tony Dokoupil asked how Bill and Jordon met, before he could answer, she interjected off-camera, saying, “We’re not talking about this.” When Tony asked why, Jordon said, “No.” Based on this viral clip, and the couple’s “weird” dynamic.
On May 9, the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast added more to the conversation when he claimed that two sources said the University of South Carolina-Chapel Hill allegedly didn’t allow Jordon inside the football facilities, although UNC denied the rumors.
The podcast host also claimed that sources apparently said Bill’s family was “extraordinarily concerned” with his relationship with Jordon. “Bill Belichick’s family is extraordinarily concerned about what has transpired,” Pablo alleged. “One Belichick family source told me, ‘There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.'”
But Bill can speak for himself, and he did just that.
In his GMA interview, Bill said of their relationship, “She’s been terrific through the whole process, and she’s been very helpful to me. She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life, so I can concentrate on football.”
According to Bill, Jordon has even helped with his book, The Art of Winning. “I acknowledged her in the book, she was very helpful in that with the tribute pages and also given a perspective of the book from kind of a business side.”
“Sometimes I get a little football technical she did a good job of keeping me on balance there,” he said.
