Bill Belichick and girlfriend Jordon Hudson are shaking off the critics when it comes to their love story.
With all eyes consistently on the couple, an insider told the Daily Mail this week how the constant chatter surrounding Belichick, 73, and Hudson, “acts as a fuel for their relationship and makes them even more in love.”
‘They are thriving in people’s jealousy,” the source said. “They both have hit the lottery and are all about each other and they both feel that they make each other better.”
A former college cheerleader, Hudson met Belichick aboard a flight to West Palm Beach in 2021. They went public with their relationship three years later.
Although they’ve made headlines for some time, the inner workings of their relationship reached a fever pitch in April when Hudson punted a question during Belichick’s “CBS Sunday Morning” interview about how they met.
“We’re not talking about this,” she told reporter Tony Dokoupil.
The fallout of the interview was swift, with former ESPN personality Pablo Torre dropping bombshell allegations about Hudson on his “Pablo Torre Finds Out” program this month.
In the wake of Friday’s report about Belichick’s and Hudson’s past Airbnb stay, which included Ring camera footage of the Super Bowl winner exiting the property shirtless, Hudson slammed Torre in a since-deleted post.
Torre has defended his reporting.
“Everyone seems to want to pounce on Bill and Jordon if there is any type of misfortune that comes their way,” the insider said.
Despite the controversies that have engulfed the couple, the insider posits “they are happy” and are envisioning next steps.
“Jordon is a bad guy to the public, but when it comes to both of them, they are happy, and they are in love, and they want to get married,” the source said.
The New York Times reported this month that Hudson has informed at least one person that she and Belichick are engaged.
She was photographed wearing a ring on her left ring finger this past weekend.
Prior to his relationship with Hudson, Belichick — currently preparing for his first season as UNC’s football coach — was in a long-term relationship with Linda Holliday.
She allegedly confronted Hudson at a Nantucket holiday party last December.
