Bill Belichick, 72, has taken on a new role leading the University of North Carolina football team and is reportedly involving his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, in team-related business matters. The couple’s relationship, which began in February 2021, became public knowledge in June 2024.
Their 49-year age gap has drawn media attention, yet they remain committed to each other. Belichick’s involvement with UNC marks a significant chapter in his coaching career, now seemingly blending professional and personal interests.
Bill Belichick Requests UNC to Include Girlfriend Jordon Hudson in Official Emails
Hudson, Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, may be more involved in his activities at the University of North Carolina than previously believed. A recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request uncovered an email showing that Belichick asked a UNC communications staffer to include Hudson in all messages sent to him.

Reporters from Axios and The Assembly discovered the emails during their investigation into UNC’s increased budget following Belichick’s arrival. Matt Hartman of The Assembly shared one such email on social media.
In the email, addressed to Robbi Pickeral Evans, UNC’s Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs and Strategic Communications, Belichick wrote:
“Robbi, Thank you for the e-mail. I am including Jordon on this email so she can also keep up with our postings. Can you include her in anything you send to me? Thank you. BB.”
This particular email referenced football-related social media posts scheduled for December 16. Hartman also revealed that other uncovered emails showed Hudson being copied on correspondence regarding Belichick’s decisions about interview requests.
Belichick and Hudson’s relationship, which became public in June 2024, has faced significant scrutiny due to their 49-year age gap. Despite the attention, sources told Page Six that the couple’s relationship is serious, with marriage discussions already underway.
The FOIA documents also revealed mixed reactions from UNC alumni regarding Belichick’s hiring. While one alum promised a “six-figure donation the day he is announced,” others voiced concerns about Belichick’s NFL controversies and his relationship with Hudson.
Additionally, Charlotte Wilder shared on The Sports Gossip Show that UNC’s withdrawal from an HBO Hard Knocks-style series was reportedly influenced by Hudson’s desire to be involved, masked under “creative control” concerns.
“Remember how we said last week we were pretty sure the reason UNC Hard Knocks was not happening was because the ‘creative control issues’ were actually code for ‘Jordon Hudson wanted to be more involved in some capacity?’” Wilder asked co-host Madeline Hill. “I heard from a source, very trusted, that that is the truth.”
Hudson, who boasts over 70,000 Instagram followers, has not yet been confirmed as a UNC staffer.
