Don’t ask North Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick how he met his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. At least, not while she’s around to hear it.
Dokoupil asked Belichick how he deals with the many opinions and investment people have in his relationship with Hudson.
‘I’ve never been too worried about what everybody else thinks,’ Belichick said. ‘Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what’s right.’
‘How did you guys meet?’ Dokoupil asked.
Hudson cut in after Dokoupil’s question, saying, ‘We’re not talking about this.’
After the interjection, Dokoupil pivoted to asking about Belichick’s recent adoption of social media. The CBS interviewer asked the NFL coaching legend about the public response to a few of Hudson’s Instagram posts that Belichick appeared in.
‘It’s charming, it’s a different side of you. What’s the reaction been like?’ Dokoupil asked.
‘What’s it been like?’ Belichick responded after a pause.
Dokoupil clarified his question, asking again about ‘these different sort of photos,’ including an image of Hudson balanced on Belichick’s feet on a beach.
‘Yeah, so I’m on some of those social media platforms, but I honestly don’t follow them.’
After winning six Super Bowls as an NFL head coach, Belichick will begin his first year of coaching at the collegiate level this year. He’s taking over the reins as the head football coach for the North Carolina Tar Heels a year after they finished 6-7 (3-5 ACC) and 13th in the ACC.
