Bill Belichick, 72, attended the 2025 NFL Honors with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, sparking reactions online. Critics focused on their age gap and Hudson’s revealing outfit—a silver gown with a high slit that showed off her abs and a daring silhouette.

Social media users quickly commented on their attire, with some questioning the appropriateness of Hudson’s dress, while others remarked on the age difference, calling Belichick “old enough to be her grandfather.” Despite the attention, the couple seemed unfazed by the criticism.

In response to online scrutiny, Hudson shared an Instagram post on New Year’s Eve, defending their relationship. She emphasized their strong bond and expressed defiance toward those who criticized them, challenging detractors to keep going.

Belichick, who recently started a new chapter as head coach of UNC’s football program, continues to focus on his career. While his personal life remains a topic of public interest, he is embracing his new role with enthusiasm, reflecting on the full-circle moment of coaching at a school where his father once worked.
