How did Bill Belichick & Jordon Hudson meet?

She had a huge passion for philosophy and competitive cheerleading and was reading Deductive Logic. Seated nearby was Bill Belichick; he sparked a conversation with her about logic and reasoning. The two connected over the topic, and Belichick left her with a handwritten note in the book, which read, “Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!” He even signed off by listing his eight Super Bowl wins. It wasn’t a romantic exchange at the time, but it planted the seeds of an intellectual bond.

Multiple outlets noted that the friendship gradually transitioned into a romantic relationship during mid- to late 2022.

One of the more surprising turns in Jordon Hudson’s story has been her rapid rise in the real estate world, amassing an $8 million portfolio within months, primarily across Boston and Cape Cod. Hudson purchased four properties in 2023 alone, including two townhouses in Dorchester, a cottage in Harwich, and a multi-family complex in Roxbury Crossing, with a mix of mortgages under an LLC and a trust named the TCE Trust. By early 2024, all four were reportedly paid off. She’s since turned them into income-producing rentals, with the Roxbury Crossing building alone generating around $17,675 per month in rent. Beyond property, Hudson also launched 18 companies across Massachusetts. The timing of her financial success has led to speculation about just how involved Bill Belichick may be behind the scenes.

The relationship was thrust into controversy during Belichick’s appearance on CBS Sunday Morning to promote his new book The Art of Winning. When interviewer Tracy Smith asked about Hudson and their relationship, Hudson, standing off camera, cut in and said, “We’re not talking about this,” attempting to redirect the focus to the book, but many viewers thought this attitude of hers was incredibly rude and unnecessary.

Belichick quickly came to her defense, saying Hudson “was just doing her job.” and he said that he had previously instructed CBS to not talk about his relationship. CBS, however, publicly contradicted this, saying there were no agreed-upon boundaries in place. The interview sparked concern among colleagues at Belichick’s new consulting role with UNC Football, particularly due to what some viewed as an “overreach” by Hudson during a high-profile appearance.

Despite the continuous controversy and scrutiny Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson remain together and publicly visible. Though the CBS moment marked a turning point in how the media views their dynamic, the couple stayed unfazed and continued to live their fabulous lives.
