Has Bill Belichick put a ring on it?
It certainly appears that the legendary football coach, 72, and his much younger lady love Jordon Hudson are engaged after she was seen flaunting a stunning sparkler on her left ring finger at a New Orleans charity event this week, exclusive DailyMail.com photographs show.
The couple have dated for three years despite a near-half-century-year age gap, but only went public last year.
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 diamond ring at a charity event in New Orleans this week
The massive rock has sparked rumors that the 72-year-old football coach might have popped the question to his 24-year-old girlfriend
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
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, 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.
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 ring
In addition to its size, the ring also appears to be unique in shape and cut
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 confirm 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.
‘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
In a possible nod to her upcoming nuptials, Jordon donned a strapless bridal-white bardot-style dress which she paired with black heels
Belichick was seen chatting and socializing with other guests with his lady at his side
‘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 win over Boston College last Saturday 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 roses
The May-December couple began dating in 2022 but their relationship was publicly confirmed in June 2024

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.
Throughout 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 Cape Cod Island, with both of Belichick’s sons marrying on Nantucket.
Brian married his wife, 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 Massachusetts island, with Belichick and Jordon hunkering down in a $3 million after news of their relationship broke.
They stayed in one of the seven homes he owns on the exclusive island, with an estimated value of $3 million.
Jordon and Belichick made their official debut as a couple in December when they hit the red carpet at a gala in New York City
Before his romance with Hudson, Belichick and ex Linda Holliday were together for 16 years, with Holliday serving as the executive director of his foundation
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 complex in Siasconset, worth in total $15.7million.
Since their relationship was made ‘public knowledge’ – as Hudson put it – last summer, Belichick and the 24-year-old 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.
