Jordan Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of North Carolina coach Bill Belichick, has revealed to “at least one person” that she and Belichick are engaged, according to Katherine Roseman of the New York Times.
Belichick, 73, has said he and Hudson met on a flight in 2021.
The relationship has come under heavy scrutiny amid reports that Hudson has been overly-involved in North Carolina football decision-making despite not holding an official role with the program.
Hudson has been connected to internal emails involving Belichick’s interview requests and UNC social media decisions, according to reports from The Assembly’s Matt Hartman and The Athletic’s Matt Baker.
In an appearance last week on Good Morning America, Belichick was asked again about Hudson. The former New England Patriots head coach said Hudson has been “terrific through the whole process.”
“She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life so I can concentrate on football, and that’s really what I want to do,” Belichick said around the 8:30 mark of the interview.
Belichick, who served as a media analyst after his final run with the Patriots in 2023, is preparing for his first season as a college head coach. North Carolina will open the 2025 campaign against TCU on Sept. 1.
