The family of Bill Belichick is said to be “extraordinarily concerned” in matters regarding Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of the UNC football coach, who remains at the center of controversy following the couple’s disastrous appearance on CBS last month.
of “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” the former ESPN personality alleged the eight-time Super Bowl winner’s family is “digging into” the beauty queen, who has immersed herself in Belichick’s personal and professional affairs.
“Bill Belichick’s family is extraordinarily concerned about what has transpired,” Torre said on Friday’s show. “One Belichick family source told me, ‘There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just for North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.’ In fact, the family has been digging into Jordon Hudson as well.”
When asked by Katie Nolan, a fellow ESPN alum, if Belichick’s family is asking questions, Torre replied, “They are in a rabbit hole.”
Torre’s bombshell episode comes just weeks after Belichick’s widely dissected “CBS Sunday Morning” interview, in which Hudson punted a question from Tony Dokoupil about how the couple met.
“We’re not talking about this,” the former college cheerleader said on set, which aired on the April 27 segment.
It’s been reported Belichick, 73, and Hudson first crossed paths on a flight in 2021 — three years before their romance became public.
The only member of the Belichick clan to speak publicly on Hudson is his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Schmitt, who is married to his son, Stephen.
Schmitt commented on an Instagram post discussing Hudson reportedly leaving the CBS set.
“Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t ‘storm’ off set delaying an interview,” Schmitt wrote.
The former Patriots coach had a long-term relationship with Linda Holliday, whom he began dating in 2007. Page Six in September 2023.
In the wake of Belichick’s disastrous CBS interview, it’s been reported that Hudson allegedly a star-studded Dunkin’ commercial that aired during Super Bowl 2025, and on a UNC installment of “Hard Knocks” that never cam to fruition.
Of Hudson, a source told Torre, “I watched her power grow inch by inch.”

“The question then is like, why wasn’t anyone in the way? Why was the power vacuum so empty? The inner circle of Bill Belichick is a fascinating thing. So he used to be managed, his PR used to be managed by this guy, Berj Najarian,” Torre said Friday.
“… He was very easy to work with but ultimately, he said nothing… he is now the chief of staff at Boston College, leaving behind a group with whom Bill Belichick still has a standing pre-dawn phone call every single day,” Torre continued before rattling off the names of [former Patriots defensive coordinator] Matt Patricia, [current Patriots offensive coordinator] Josh McDaniels and [UNC football general manager] Mike Lombardi, whom he likened to “yes men.”
Torre’s source described the situation as the group watching “Hudson come in, and they’re like eye-rolling, they’re kind of nudging each other… but they’re not telling Bill, they’re not telling coach this is a bad idea. So she comes in and out-alphas everybody. And that’s how, in a very short amount of time, in a period of months, they watch her take power.”
Although Hudson has made her presence known at Chapel Hill, where Belichick is gearing up for his first season coaching at the college level, UNC says she has not been barred from the facility, disputing claims made on Torre’s show.
“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities. Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University,” Carolina Athletics said Friday in a statement to The Post.
Torre said in a statement Friday his program stands “by the specific reporting in our episode, which came from the highest levels of the football program.”
