So who is Bill Belichick’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Jordon Hudson and her relationship with the former NFL coach.
She went to cosmetology school
While she was in high school, Hudson simultaneously enrolled in cosmetology school at the New England Hair Academy and commuted daily while balancing her academics, she wrote on Instagram in November 2019.
She continued attending classes at cosmetology school while she was in college, working on her degree online and participating in cheerleading practice at nights. In November 2019, she graduated.
“After many trials, tribulations, countless sacrifices and a few last-minute trips to Texas, I have found myself to the end of this incredible year of growth,” she wrote in the caption of her post commemorating her graduation.
She was a cheerleader in college
Hudson attended Bridgewater State University, where she was a cheerleader. In 2021, she and her team were NCA Collegiate Champions.
She decided to continue her career after graduating and joined the East Celebrity Elite cheer squad, competing with the group in February 2024 to go on to the World Championships.
“I’d like to put out how grateful I am for the sport that kept me anchored through difficult seasons of adolescence and young adulthood, engrained resilience, discipline, and punctuality into my bones…and brought me lifelong friends,” Hudson wrote in an Instagram tribute on National Women in Sports Day.
She reportedly met Belichick on a flight in February 2021
Belichick and Hudson first reportedly met in February 2021 when they were seated next to each other on a flight from the Boston area to Florida, per TMZ. The outlet reported that Belichick signed one of Hudson’s textbooks, Deductive Logic.

“When somebody asked me which ring was my favorite, I used to say, ‘The next one,’” he said. “Now that I’m retired, my favorite is that Ring camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago.”
