Jordon Hudson has reportedly been banned from the football facilities at the University of North Carolina amid her controversial relationship with Bill Belichick.
Belichick and Hudson – who is 49-years-younger than the NFL great at 24 – saw their romance ruthlessly propelled back into the spotlight last week when footage emerged of her interrupting his CBS interview when he was asked how they met.
It then emerged on Thursday night that her control over her 73-year-old partner could be starting to drop after he appeared without her at a New York book event this week.
The six-time Super Bowl champion has also opted to have a PR guru help him navigate his first big appearance since his CBS nightmare.
Pablo Torre has now claimed on his podcast that further distance has been placed between Hudson and Belichick’s UNC career because she has been banned from the school’s football facilities.
A ‘Belichick family source’ told him: ‘There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.’

DailyMail.com has contacted UNC for comment.
The cringeworthy CBS scene sparked an outpouring of dismay around the relationship, from friends publicly vowing to intervene on Belichick’s behalf to former players he coached questioning his sanity.
Belichick, Daily Mail exclusively reported, was not massively concerned by the backlash but it emerged he was resuming his book tour with subtle signs he might think he is better without Hudson.
Page Six claims that Belichick was joined by Brandon Faber, the former vice-president of communications at the Chicago Bears, instead of Hudson.
‘Cooler heads may be starting to prevail,’ Page Six quoted a source as saying. ‘Her influence may be waning.’
After leaving the New England Patriots in January 2024, Belichick is now gearing up for a return to football at college level, with the University of North Carolina.
Hudson’s influence had made things wobble in Chapel Hill, too. It emerged that her desire to be involved in the iconic ‘Hard Knocks’ series curtailed the cameras’ involvement in Belichick’s work at the school.
Belichick hit out at CBS as the backlash at Hudson intensified as a result of their interview. He accused CBS of using ‘selectively edited clips’ that have made Hudson subject of ongoing ridicule.

In a painfully awkward moment, Hudson interrupted Belichick’s conversation with CBS
‘I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book,’ Belichick said.
‘After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help focus the discussion.’
CBS dispiuted those claims, saying: ‘When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview.
‘There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation.
‘This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.’
