Fueling speculation that he may have proposed to a woman 48 years his junior, North Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick was seen with girlfriend Jordon Hudson at the NFL Honors in New Orleans.
This annual award ceremony acknowledges the best performances in the league, presenting awards such as Coach of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and the Most Valuable Player award.
Belichick, 72, looked smart in his red ‘NFL 100’ blazer – paired with a white shirt, black tie, and black pants.
At the event, Belichick flaunted his eight Super Bowl rings, with two acquired as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants and six earned as the head coach of the New England Patriots.
But it was his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson that stole the show with a risque outfit that stunned the red carpet.
Hudson wore an all-silver ensemble with a bralette-style top which was thinly attached to a draping asymmetrical skirt displaying her midriff and toned abs and also featured a dramatic slit that showed off legs from heel to hip.

On her left hand, Hudson appeared to wear two different kinds of rings.
One was a chunkier ring that appeared similar in style to a Super Bowl ring on her middle finger. The other appeared to have some sort of pink diamond on it, which was worn on her left ring finger.Â
This comes just hours after exclusive DailyMail.com photos captured Hudson wearing a diamond ring while out in New Orleans on Wednesday night.
It was this ring which fueled speculation that the couple, who have been dating for about three years, could be now engaged.Â
Despite dating for such a time, news of their relationship only went public in the summer of 2024.
Hudson, 24, recently gushed about the new University of North Carolina football coach, 72, in an Instagram post of a bunch of red roses.
It appears the ex-cheerleader posted the bouquet as a hint to fans that their relationship had moved to the next level, as she was spotted wearing the ring just three days later.
She captioned the post with a heart and rose emoji, writing: ‘Behind his stern façade….’
Bill Belichick’s 48-years-younger girlfriend Jordon Hudson was spotted flaunted a stunning ring at a charity event in New Orleans on Wednesday
The massive rock has sparked rumors that the 72-year-old football coach might have popped the question to his 24-year-old girlfriendÂ
Hudson coyly hid her left hand while posing for pictures outside the venue. The two were seen arriving at Desi Vega’s Steakhouse in New Orleans for a charity event benefiting those affected by the New Year’s Eve terror attack on Bourbon Street
Jordon then upped the stakes by wearing what looked to be a simple silver band with a huge rock on her ring finger at the charity event she set up for those affected by the New Years Day terror attack on Bourbon Street.
Belichick and Jordon put on a loved-up show for those at the dinner, with the brunette chatting animatedly to the coach and touching his arm at Desi’s Vegas Steakhouse.
In a possible nod to her upcoming nuptials, Jordon donned a strapless bridal-white Bardot-style dress which she paired with black heels and a faux fur cover up for a glamorous look.
She coyly hid her left hand when posing for pictures outside the venue but showed off the giant sparkler once inside.Â
Belichick opted for a smart suit as the pair travelled to The Big Easy ahead of the Super Bowl LIX.
But proposal rumors could hit his ex-girlfriend Linda Holliday, 62, hardest. She spent 16 years by his side with no ring to show for it.
At the dinner table, the couple were seen locked in conversation and gazing at each other lovingly

The former cheerleader was also sporting a dazzling manicure with gems and rhinestones perhaps to match the bling on her ringÂ
In addition to its size, the ring also appears to be unusual in shape and cutÂ
The blonde split from Belichick in 2023, with sources claiming at the time that ‘relationship ran its course’ and that the two had ‘been pretty separate for a while.’
However Jordon shocked fans in January after revealing that she had rung in her third New Year’s Eve with Belichick – appearing to suggest there may have been some crossover between the two women.
Jordon’s caption read: ‘Cheers!!! To our 3rd midnights’ kiss’ before she went off on her detractors.Â
‘Nothing changed for us in 2024 except for “public knowledge”: yet somehow everything changed. 4th calendar year; going strong.’
She then added in fine print: ‘I can’t wait to take punches for you in 2025. Keep swinging, Keyboard Warriors. Your illusion of righteousness only fuels my authenticity.’
Jordon also gushed over Belichick after his new book, The Art of Winning, was announced, posting the cover on an Instagram story.
‘Witnessing your growth this year has been both an honor and a blessing,’ she wrote.
They did not shy from engaging in PDA in front of other guests at the dinner, with the brunette chatting animatedly to the football coach and touching his arm

‘Just when I think you couldn’t possibly impress me more than you already have; here you go again, impressing me.
‘I love learning from you & I love, love, love loving you. Congratulations @billbelichick.’
But the potential for wedding bells aren’t a shock to those close to the football coach, who seems keen to lock in his relationship with his lover as they move to North Carolina together.
The stunning brunette has been by Belichick’s side at every new venture he makes, posing with him for his official photos for UNC.
She also posed for her own photoshoot in UNC gear, and was spotted at North Carolina’s basketball win over Boston College last month sporting a bold look, donning a gray oversized sweatshirt and white knee-high boots.
Belichick first hit it off with Jordon on a flight from Boston to Florida back in 2021 while she was in college.
Just a few days ago Jordon took to Instagram to gush over her beau after receiving a bouquet of red rosesÂ
The May-December couple began dating in 2022 but their relationship was publicly confirmed in June 2024Â

Back in March, before their romance became public, Belichick was spotted at a cheerleading competition in Maryland – and Jordon attended Netflix’s roast of Tom Brady.
Over the summer, they were spotted enjoying the rays and waves on Nantucket in Massachusetts.
The pair could even follow in the family footsteps and tie the knot on the exclusive island.
Both of Belichick’s sons were wed there. Brian married Catherine McLaughlin in June 2021 just four years after Steve and his wife Jennifer tied the knot in 2017.
All of the family spend summers on the island. Last year Belichick and Hudson hunkered down in a $3 million home after news of their relationship broke.
Jordon and Belichick made their official debut as a couple in December when they hit the red carpet at a gala in New York CityÂ
Before his romance with Hudson, Belichick and Linda Holliday were together for 16 years, with Holliday serving as the executive director of his foundationÂ
The former New England Patriots coach also purchased a $4.8million home closer to the main cobbled street in Nantucket for his ex Linda.
He currently owns at least seven properties on the island, with six of them close to each other making up a $15.7 million complex in Siasconset.Â
Since their relationship was made ‘public knowledge’ – as Hudson put it – last summer, Belichick and the former college cheerleader have often been seen together.
They made their official debut as a couple in December – hitting the red carpet at a gala in New York City.
While there has been plenty of criticism over the age gap it’s clear that neither party seems to mind as their thoughts turn to wedding bells.
