Bill Belichick is no stranger to championship hardware, but at the 2025 NFL Honors, his six Super Bowl rings weren't the only thing turning heads. The legendary coach-who recently made the leap from the NFL to college football as North Carolina's new head coach-arrived in New Orleans looking sharp. But let's be honest: the real showstopper? His girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.

Hudson, a 24-year-old former pageant competitor, had all eyes on her as she walked the red carpet in a silver sequin dress, accessorized with a football-shaped purse. But while the purse was a cute nod to Belichick's iconic career, it was another accessory that really set the internet on fire-a massive diamond on her left ring finger.
For weeks, rumors have swirled that Belichick might have taken his relationship with Hudson to the next level. The couple, who reportedly met on a flight in 2021 (yes, really), have been publicly dating for about a year. While neither has confirmed anything, that ring is giving serious engagement vibes.

Belichick, known for his deadpan press conferences and refusal to entertain media narratives, hasn't addressed the speculation. But that didn't stop fans from dissecting every angle of Hudson's hand in red carpet photos, hoping for a clue. Is it a promise ring? A statement piece? Or did the famously reserved coach actually pop the question?
Belichick's new era on and off the field
Regardless of their relationship status, Belichick and Hudson seemed to enjoy their night out among the NFL's elite. Belichick kept things classy in a burgundy sports coat, looking more relaxed than he ever did on the Patriots' sideline. Hudson, for her part, seemed at ease, confidently walking beside him as cameras flashed.
Their relationship has been an unexpected subplot in the post-Patriots chapter of Belichick's career. After parting ways with New England, where he built one of the most dominant dynasties in sports history, the 72-year-old coach took on a new challenge at UNC. And Hudson has been a regular presence by his side, showing through his career transition.
As for whether there's a wedding in their future? That remains a mystery. But if Belichick has taught us anything over the years, it's that he plays things close to the vest-until it's time to make the big move.
