Despite the backlash from her excruciating interruption on Bill Belichick’s CBS interview, Jordon Hudson is keen to let people know that the controversial couple are stronger than ever.
According to a shock new report in the New York Times, the 24-year-old Hudson has told ‘at least one person’ that she is engaged to be married to Belichick, 73.
The couple haven’t made an announcement about the apparent news, despite Belichick having plenty of opportunities to do so recently.
He appeared on Good Morning America on Friday – notably without Hudson and instead with a new PR guru – and was quizzed by former NFL player Michael Strahan about the influence his girlfriend has on his life.
‘Well, we have good personal relationship. And, you know, I’m not talking about personal relationships, Michael, you know that,’ Belichick said.
Despite Strahan’s attempts to pry some information from Belichick over his 49-years-younger girlfriend, he only otherwise spoke about how she helps him focus on football and his role as head coach at University of North Carolina.

Hudson’s role in Belichick’s life has been falling under intensifying scrutiny in the three weeks since she stopped the legendary NFL coach answering a question on a CBS interview about how they met.
Since then, former NFL players who were coached by Belichick have questioned his sanity and there have even been claims that his family are concerned about Hudson’s influence.
Indeed, Belichick’s daughter-in-law Jennifer – married to his son Stephen, who is a part of Belichick’s North Carolina coaching team – even shaded Hudson on Instagram after the CBS interview was aired.
On an Instagram post which shows former Patriots star Julian Edelman sticking up for Hudson, claiming she was merely acting how any PR person would, Jennifer wrote: ‘Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t “storm” off set delaying an interview.’
Her comment seemingly confirmed reports that at a different stage of the CBS interview, Hudson stormed out of the room and caused a 30-minute delay to proceedings.
But Belichick, speaking on GMA, underlined his belief that she is a good influence on him.
‘She’s been terrific, you know,’ Belichick said in an appearance to promote his new book. ‘Through the whole process, and she’s been very helpful to me.

‘She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life, so I can concentrate on football. And that’s really what I want to do.’
Belichick calls Hudson his ‘muse’ in his book about his life coaching in the NFL, where he is an eight-time Super Bowl winner.
‘You know, I acknowledged her in the book. She was very helpful on that with the with the tribute pages, and also given a perspective of the book from kind of a business side,’ Belichick added.
‘You know, sometimes I get a little football technical and, and so, you know, she did a good job of keeping me on balance there.’
