Bill Belichick, former New England Patriots head coach, is no stranger to making headlines, but this time, it’s not about football. Instead, he’s shown his support for his 23-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, after she found herself in a feud with a local radio host over her cheerleading achievements.
The drama began when Winnie Akoury, a personality on Boston’s Kiss 108, made some dismissive remarks about Hudson’s national cheerleading title during the “Billy and Lisa in the Morning” show. Akoury downplayed Hudson’s accomplishment, saying, “She was Bridgewater State’s cheerleader, which is Division Three, which isn’t even like competition level. I could have been a Bridgewater State cheerleader.”

Hudson wasn’t about to let the comment slide. She responded on social media, telling Akoury to “Kiss my… National Championship ring,” while also involving Belichick in the feud. She shared a picture of the iconic coach proudly wearing a Bridgewater State Cheerleading national championship T-shirt, captioned, “Bill Belichick is on team BSU Cheerleading.”
The photo quickly gained traction, with fans and followers buzzing about Belichick’s show of support for his girlfriend’s cheerleading career. Akoury, for her part, responded gracefully, praising Belichick for being a supportive boyfriend. “I love that he’s a supportive boyfriend, def giving green flag vibes,” she commented.
Belichick embraces new role off the field
Belichick’s public display of loyalty isn’t the only reason he’s been in the news lately. Since stepping down as head coach, he’s ventured into the media world, appearing as an analyst on various television shows and hosting his own podcast.
Recently, he made waves on The Pat McAfee Show by defending his former team, the Patriots, against criticism from current head coach Jerod Mayo. Mayo had described the team as “soft,” which didn’t sit well with Belichick. “Defensively, the Patriots led the league last year in rushing defense. Yards per carry, No. 1 in the league. This year, they’re way down in the 20s somewhere. It’s a lot of the same guys,” he argued, adding, “I’m kind of hurt for those guys, because to call them soft, they’re not soft.”
Balancing personal and professional life
Belichick’s transition from coach to media personality has been marked by his candid takes on football, but it’s his involvement in Hudson’s social media spat that’s brought his personal life into the spotlight. Between managing his new role in the media and supporting his girlfriend through her online feud, it’s clear that Belichick is staying busy after his coaching career.
The public support from a legend like Belichick may have added weight to Hudson’s response, and it seems the couple isn’t shying away from being seen together, both at public events and on social media. While fans might be more accustomed to Belichick dissecting defensive schemes, he’s proving he’s just as comfortable backing his partner in a very different kind of battle.
