Are Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson set to walk down the aisle? The couple sparked engagement rumors recently when Hudson, 24, was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger during a luncheon at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on April 29, 2025. The photo, obtained by Page Six, showed Hudson looking at Belichick, 73, as he spoke to guests at their table.
Eyewitnesses described the scene, noting that while Belichick appeared distracted by his phone, Hudson kept her hand on his knee, seemingly trying to keep him engaged in the conversation. The couple was dressed to impress: Hudson wore a stunning silver sequinned cut-out gown, while Belichick complemented her look in a burgundy sports coat and black pants. They were all smiles as they posed together on the red carpet.
In a charming moment, Belichick signed Hudson's Bridgewater State University textbook, leaving a note that read, "Jordon, thanks for giving me a course on logic! … Safe travels!" This playful exchange highlights the couple's close relationship, which has attracted significant media attention.
Rumors of an engagement first surfaced in February 2025 when Hudson was seen with a ring at the NFL Honors award show, but neither party had publicly commented on the speculation until now. Representatives for Belichick were not available for immediate comment.
Hudson and Belichick's relationship blossomed after they met on a flight in 2021. Initially, they kept their romance under wraps, but it became public knowledge in June 2024 when Hudson shared photos of them together on Instagram. Since then, they have faced scrutiny, particularly regarding their 49-year age difference.
In a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, which aired on April 27, 2025, Hudson addressed the criticism head-on. During the interview, she expressed her unwavering confidence in her relationship with Belichick. "I’ve never been too worried about what anybody else thinks," she stated, shutting down questions about their age gap and the nature of their relationship.
Hudson took to social media to further clarify her stance, reposting supportive messages that emphasized the importance of love and connection. One message she shared read, "I see a woman who cares about her man and doesn’t want him to be screwed around by the media." This statement underscores her commitment to Belichick amidst the public scrutiny they face.
Critics have been vocal about their opinions on the couple, with some, like Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, expressing discomfort during the CBS interview. Portnoy tweeted, "My Sunday morning routine is always coffee and CBS Sunday Morning. It’s a feel-good show. The opposite of controversial. So imagine my surprise this morning when they had the most awkward Bill Belichick interview I’ve ever seen. Like I was squirming in my seat." Such comments highlight the mixed reactions to their relationship.
Despite the backlash, Hudson remains steadfast in her love for Belichick. In February 2025, she addressed the age gap on Instagram, stating, "Let’s take a deeper dive into the hot topic of the day: LOVE. What constitutes love? What makes someone worthy of loving?" She argued that love cannot be quantified by age or social standards, adding that there is "no objective criteria for what constitutes someone’s worthiness of love."
As the couple continues to navigate their relationship in the public eye, the question remains: will they take the next step and announce an engagement? With Hudson's recent display of a ring and their evident affection for one another, fans and followers are eagerly awaiting further developments.
For now, it seems that both Hudson and Belichick are enjoying their time together, focusing on their relationship while deflecting the noise from critics. Whether they choose to formalize their commitment through marriage remains to be seen, but their bond appears to be growing stronger.
