Bill Belichick, one of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history, is heading back to the sidelines-this time in college football as the head coach of the University of North Carolina. While the 72-year-old coach’s professional shift is making headlines, his personal life is also drawing attention. Sources close to Belichick have confirmed that his relationship with Jordon Hudson,24, remains strong as he takes on his new role in Chapel Hill.
Belichick, who signed a five-year deal with UNC last week, is reportedly thrilled about this next chapter in his storied career. Hudson, a former cheerleader and pageant queen, has been a consistent supporter of Belichick, even attending his introductory press conference alongside other prominent figures in the college football world. According to People, the couple has a “solid” bond, and Belichick’s transition to college football is expected to only strengthen their relationship.

“Bill will put his all into the new coaching job, which he is very excited about,” one source told People. “But Jordon is also a busy woman with a lot going on. So I don’t see this doing anything but enhancing their solid relationship.”
The couple, who went public in June, began dating after Belichick’s split from longtime partner Linda Holliday in 2023. While their relationship has garnered media attention, sources say there are no immediate plans for marriage. “I think Bill is not in a rush to marry again at this time in general,” another source told People.

Hudson, who has quickly become a visible part of Belichick’s personal and professional life, shared her excitement for the move on Instagram, writing, “We are onto Chapel Hill!!!” The message was a playful nod to Belichick’s famous “We’re on to Cincinnati” press conference during his tenure with the Patriots.
Belichick’s decision to coach at UNC marks his return to the sidelines after stepping away from the NFL in January. Over 24 seasons with the New England Patriots, Belichick led the franchise to six Super Bowl titles, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest coaches in football history.
While Belichick adjusts to life in college football, he is expected to maintain his roles as an analyst on Inside the NFL and as a guest on ESPN’s ManningCast next season. For Belichick and Hudson, it appears this new chapter offers both professional challenges and personal stability. Chapel Hill awaits, and the spotlight is brighter than ever.
