Bill Belichick has dropped a major clue suggesting he and Jordon Hudson might be heading down the aisle, as their relationship continues on a rollercoaster ride.
The 73-year-old shocked fans worldwide when his romance with the ex-cheerleader came to light last year, despite a sizable age gap of nearly 50 years. Initially, it seemed all was well, but a contentious interview last month rapidly changed their narrative.
Lately, Belichick and Hudson have been under intense scrutiny like never before, with even Rob Gronkowski mocking the couple. A recent CBS Sports video showed the 24-year-old declining to answer a question about their relationship, amid a whirlwind of controversy involving friends, relatives, and former colleagues of the couple.
In spite of the mounting criticism, Belichick has publicly declared his contentment with Hudson, ensuring that their bond doesn’t impact his professional commitments, particularly regarding potential concerns about her influence on his head coach responsibilities for the Tar Heels.
However, the buzz intensified this week when an explosive New York Times article suggested Hudson has confided in “at least one person” that she’s set to marry Belichick, as the 2025 Miss Maine USA contestant seems eager to demonstrate the resilience of their union.
Recently, Belichick has subtly signaled that wedding bells may be looming, as TMZ revealed a notable modification to his boat’s name, hinting at their imminent union. Sailing the seas near Nantucket, Massachusetts, the craft formerly known as “VIII Rings” now sports the title “I+VIII Rings.”
The boat’s former moniker paid homage to Belichick’s impressive tally of Super Bowl victories—six as head honcho of the New England Patriots and two more as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.
Intriguingly, the fresh emblem “I+” added to the vessel’s name and an additional encircling of the “R” virtually confirms nuptial intentions between Belichick and Hudson, symbolizing the special band meant to bind them legally beyond another championship ring.
In the buzz of Super Bowl LIX festivities this February in New Orleans, snapshots captured Hudson adorned with a stunning gem on her engagement finger. Although no formal proclamation of their plans has been made, various indications now suggest a future marriage for the couple.
Last year, confidants of the duo divulged that their romance was genuinely profound, having engaged in serious discussions about matrimony. Adding to the whispers, Belichick was seen exploring roughly 20 different boutiques across New York and Los Angeles, hunting for the ultimate engagement ring.
The celebrated coach with eight Super Bowl victories under his belt had been mulling over the idea of proposing to Hudson since the previous summer, even sharing with friends his deliberations on the ideal manner and setting for the proposal.
Sources say that Belichick finds a sense of being “supported and understood” by Hudson and was contemplating splurging as much as $200,000 on an engagement ring to ensure the occasion was unforgettable. He reportedly whittled down his options to a final two.
To cap it all, the NFL icon was said to be orchestrating a proposal during a dreamy escape with Hudson to a choice of picturesque locations—whether the French Riviera, Italy, or Croatia remained in the cards. As of now, the outcome remains shrouded in mystery, with no official word yet released.
