Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson have been making headlines for some time due to their significant age gap. Jordon is a 24-year-old former Bridgewater State University cheerleader. Meanwhile, football coach Bill Belichick is 73 years old. Recently, their relationship has garnered a lot of attention because of how Jordon acted during a CBS Sunday Morning interview.
When the reporter asked Bill how he met his girlfriend, Jordon interrupted and said, “We’re not talking about this.” The reporter also described Jordon as “a constant presence” during the interview. Megyn Kelly was among the critics who weighed in on the controversy. On The Megyn Kelly Show, she called Jordon a “monster” for “completely trying to control” Bill during his interview.
She suggested that Jordon’s behavior was abnormal, as a person who attends an interview with their partner would usually be “out of sight, from both the interviewer and interviewee, so as to not be a distraction.” Megyn went as far as to say that she’s “concerned for” Bill and suggested that the relationship might be a case of “elder abuse.”
Megyn encouraged her viewers to think about how people would react if an older woman were dating a younger man who acted like Jordon did during the interview. “We’d be accusing him of elder abuse and asking whether he’s guilty of coercive control, and whether this woman is OK,” she said. “And honestly, I’ve got all those same questions here.”
In response to the backlash, Bill released a statement on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. In it, he defended his girlfriend and said she “was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.”
He claimed that he agreed to do the interview to promote his book, The Art of Winning — Lessons from My Life in Football. The football coach said he thought the interview would just focus on his book, but instead, “unrelated topics were introduced.”
Bill said he reminded the reporter that he “preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book” more than once, but apparently, his tactics didn’t work.
The interview lasted for more than 30 minutes. However, the final edit does not reflect the nature of the entire interview, he claimed. Bill then accused CBS of sharing “selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative — that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation — which is simply not true.”
TMZ also claimed that the edited interview failed to present the full picture — but in a very different way from what Bill described. “We’re told outside of that baffling moment that made the final edit, there were numerous other instances of Hudson butting in — even when the legendary coach was answering questions about football, she would stop and correct him,” the media outlet alleged.
