Did Bill Belichick just confirm his rumored engagement to Jordon Hudson?
Per photos published by TMZ on Tuesday, May 20, a boat allegedly owned by Belichick, 73, underwent a recent paint job and renaming, fuelling speculation that the couple are set to walk down the aisle.
According to the outlet, the vessel was once labelled “Eight Rings,” which may have nodded to the football coach’s total Super Bowl ring count. The boat’s title was recently changed to “One Plus Eight Rings.”
Us Weekly has reached out to a representative for Belichick for comment.
The news followed Hudson, 23, reportedly sharing the couple’s relationship status earlier this week. In a New York Times article published earlier on Tuesday, journalist Katherine Rosman stated that the former cheerleader “told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married.”
The article detailed that the journalist traveled to four cities across two states to capture a profile on Hudson, who went public with her romance with Belichick in October 2024.
On April 29, PageSix published a photo of Hudson wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger while attending an American Museum of Natural History luncheon in New York City. The photo showed the influencer clasping her hands while leaning on a table and looking at Belichick as he spoke to fellow guests.
The pair’s relationship was put under the microscope in light of Belichick’s now-infamous interview on CBS Sunday Morning, which aired on April 27, during which Hudson interjected from off camera when Belichick was asked how the couple met. “We’re not talking about this,” Hudson was filmed telling the crew.
Weeks later, journalist Pablo Torre dropped an episode of his “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast which raised accusations that Hudson has been lying about her age. The podcast also explored allegations that she had been banned from football facilities at the University of North Carolina.
Carolina Athletics issued a statement to Us on May 9 that rejected Torre’s reporting.
“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” the statement to Us read. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.” (Jordon is reportedly serving as a professional representative for Bilichick.)
Further controversy hit the couple just last week when Fox Sports radio host Colin Cowherd claimed via X on Sunday, May 18, that Belichick’s family is allegedly concerned about his will as a result of the coach’s relationship with Hudson.
