The relationship between former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson has taken a new turn, as a recent report suggests that Hudson has told at least one individual that the two are engaged.
The revelation surfaced subtly within a broader profile published by The New York Times, chronicling Hudson’s unexpected rise from champion cheerleading coach to being romantically linked with one of football’s most iconic figures.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Hudson for comment regarding the report.
Initial speculation surrounding a possible engagement was first raised by Page Six, which previously reported that the couple had discussed marriage. At the time, sources claimed that while marriage was “not out of the question,” Hudson had placed no pressure on Belichick to propose and was content with the pace of the relationship.
Hudson, 24, and Belichick, 73, were first publicly connected last year, though the two are said to have met on a flight several years earlier. Their relationship reportedly deepened following Belichick’s 2022 split from longtime partner Linda Holliday.
Belichick was spotted attending a cheerleading competition in support of Hudson in 2023, and Hudson later appeared at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony in June. She also accompanied Belichick to the NFL Honors in February, fueling further public interest in their relationship.
In recent weeks, their romance attracted renewed attention after Hudson declined to answer a question about how the pair met during a CBS interview. The moment led to a back-and-forth between Belichick’s representatives and CBS regarding the appropriateness of the inquiry.
Hudson also recently made headlines as the second runner-up in the Miss Maine USA pageant and received support from Maine’s fishing community for her advocacy work during the competition.
As the spotlight continues to follow the pair, the latest development adds yet another layer to one of the most talked-about relationships in the sports world.
