Bill Belichick’s Children Hope His Relationship with Jordon Hudson is "A Good Choice"
Bill Belichick’s children are reportedly supportive of their father’s relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, but have some hesitations, a source close to the family has told PEOPLE.
According to the insider, Belichick’s children – Amanda, 41, and sons Stephen, 38, and Brian, 37 – want the best for their father, but like most family members, they hope this is a good choice for him. "His children want the best for their dad but like most family members, they hope this is a good choice for him," the source reveals.
The news comes after Belichick’s recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning, which sparked an uproar over his relationship with Hudson. During the interview, Hudson interjected to shut down a question about how she and the coach met, prompting Stephen’s wife Jennifer Schmitt to slam Hudson’s behaviour.
Belichick has three children with his ex-wife, Debby Clarke Belichick, all of whom are involved in the UNC football staff. Despite the backlash, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE that their relationship "is real despite the age difference."
The insider adds that Hudson and Belichick share the "same interests" and enjoy being together. "He is extremely private and anything she can do to keep that vibe is fine with him. He wants that," the source reveals.
Hudson is described as "assertive, smart and ambitious," with the source adding that she "will always do whatever she can to make him look good." The insider also praises Hudson’s maturity, saying she is "young but mature beyond her years" and has a plan that she is diligent about sticking to.
As previously reported by PEOPLE, Hudson has become more involved in Belichick’s day-to-day life, including acting as his publicist and filing for trademarks on his behalf. This is similar to how Belichick previously named his ex-girlfriend of 16 years, Linda Holliday, as the president of his foundation during their relationship.
Belichick and Hudson met on a flight in February 2021 and were first spotted out together in January 2023. The couple officially went public with their romance in June 2024 and made their red carpet debut six months later.
A second source close to Belichick agrees that having Hudson be so involved in the coach’s career works for them. "Jordon is very efficient and protective," says the source.
The source also notes that Hudson knows "a lot about social media and how things can create buzz" online, and while Belichick isn’t interested in using sites like Instagram, he "knows he has to." As PEOPLE previously reported, Belichick has stated that he has "both a personal and professional relationship" with Hudson.
Despite the controversy surrounding their relationship, the insider believes that Belichick knows what he’s doing and that Hudson makes him happy. "Bill is older now and starting a new job, but still a superstar and in demand. He knows what he is doing and Jordon makes him happy," the source concludes.
As the relationship between Belichick and Hudson continues to make headlines, it’s clear that the couple is committed to each other. Only time will tell if their relationship will continue to withstand the scrutiny of the public eye.
In related news, Belichick and Hudson have been spotted together at various events, including The American Museum of Natural History’s 2024 Museum Gala in New York City. As previously reported by PEOPLE, the couple has been open about their relationship, with Hudson acting as Belichick’s plus-one at several high-profile events.
