North Carolina's Bill Belichick has addressed the attention surrounding girlfriend Jordon Hudson with his team, saying "she doesn't have anything to do with football."

Hudson and Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning former NFL coach, met on a flight in 2021 and went public with their relationship last December. While their nearly 50-year age gap has raised eyebrows amid observers, the scandal has only grown as Hudson has taken on an increasingly central role in Belichick’s professional world.
