Jordon Hudson was a presence around Bill Belichick’s football life long before his days at the University of North Carolina.
The 24-year-old girlfriend of the eight-time Super Bowl winner had been around as early as the fall of 2021, when Belichick was still calling the sH๏τs with the Patriots, according to new reporting from podcaster Pablo Torre.
During an appearance on “Toucher & Hardy” on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston on Thursday, the ex-ESPNer revealed that Hudson was spotted around Belichick long before the January 2023 sighting of the coach walking New Orleans with the then unknown-Hudson.
“Something people may not know, that I didn’t even have time for in the episode, is the first time people spotted Jordon Hudson around the Patriots, around Bill Belichick, was when he was the coach of the Patriots,” Torre said. “In the fall of 2021, it wasn’t 2023. They’ve known about her showing up as early as the fall of 2021. She was sitting, I was told, in Bill’s outdoor seats at Gillette [Stadium]. She was spotted in those seats as early as that.
“So the question of who is this person coming around now? What’s her deal? What does she want? These videos are leaking. Now she’s making a series of behind-the-scenes disasters. Showing up at commercial shoots uninvited. Scripted, million-dollar things. This is what I say, Belichick’s been around to watch all of it.”
Torre has had a bevy of scoops about the relationship that has captivated the football world and has thrown the long-standing image of the gruff football coach on its head in recent weeks.
Last week, he released an entire episode of his podcast, “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” and as part of it, explained Hudson had attempted to thrust herself into a commercial that Belichick was shooting.
In subsequent appearances on other shows, Torre also reported that Belichick’s family is concerned about how the Ring cam footage of a shirtless Belichick scurrying out of a home in the early hours of the morning had ended up in the hands of the media.
And during Thursday’s appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub, he again reported those concerns.
“[Belichick’s family members] are panicked that the thing that their family — that he has built as the patriarch of his family — the Logan Roy of their ‘Succession’ story, that it’s being incinerated by a 24-year-old, who doesn’t know what she’s doing,” Torre said. “They’re freaked out. I mean, look, as a human, as a human level — concern. Imagine it, right? Like, hold on, your 70-year-old dad shows up on a leaked Ring cam video, shirtless.
“It’s an incredible artifact. It’s the thing that [Tom] Brady made fun of at his roast. It’s the thing that everybody has known about, but imagine if you’re one of Bill Belichick’s family members. Like, my first instinct would not be, ‘Look at the D-Cup on dad.’ It’s: ‘How many other videos are out there like this that he had no idea were being filmed? Who leaked this? How did this get out?’”
While the relationship between the two had been a source of intrigue, it has created a firestorm after Belichick’s awkward interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” where Hudson interjected herself to shut down a question about how the couple met.
Hudson and Belichick saw their relationship go public last June, three years after the two met on a flight from Boston to West Palm Beach in Feb. 2021.
