Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of Bill Belichick, has blocked out the noise after going viral for all the wrong reasons Sunday.
Hudson, who has been dating Belichick, 73, for around three years, sparked an extremely uncomfortable moment when she awkwardly interrupted his interview with CBS Mornings.
The University of North Carolina head coach was asked how the couple met before a stony-faced Hudson interjected from the producer’s table and said: ‘We’re not talking about this.’
The clip inevitably went viral, sparking an outcry from Belichick’s supporters with many expressing concern for the New England Patriots legend.
Yet, if the backlash is bothering Hudson, she isn’t letting it show. It was business as usual for the former cheerleader Sunday evening as she returned to Instagram as if nothing was wrong.
The Miss Maine USA hopeful shared a series of photos of herself lounging on the grass in front of a bed of daffodils.

Dressed in a bright yellow lounge set, Hudson kicked back in a pair of sunglasses, while in other snaps she posed for selfies with a friend.
‘Lots o’ daffs & laffs,’ she wrote in the caption.
The post came just hours after Hudson’s excruciating handling of Belichick’s interview sparked an internet frenzy.
In the eight-minute clip, CBS’s Tony Dokoupil began quizzing Belichick on the romance, in particular the critics who have relentlessly trolled the couple for their near half-century age difference but the football coach brushed off the backlash.
‘[I’ve] Never been too bothered about what everyone else thinks. Just try to do what I feel is best for me and what’s right,’ Belichick, who struck a scruffy figure in a tattered and torn sweatshirt, bluntly responded.
Yet, while the head coach’s romance with the former cheerleader has been the subject of many headlines over the past year but for the couple themselves, the topic is seemingly off the table.
The host continued to ask the age-old question of how the couple met – an encounter that is reported to have taken place on a flight – but Hudson swiftly intervened.
She interjected in excruciating fashion to immediately shut the question down.

Before Belichick could even open his mouth to get a word out, she called out, ‘We’re not talking about this.’
The cringe-worthy moment turned even tenser when Dokoupil turned to clarify and Hudson, a thunderous expression on her face, hit back with an emphatic, ‘no.’
However, Dokoupil, undeterred, wasn’t afraid to highlight the numerous social media posts Hudson has ceaselessly splashed across her Instagram page of the couple, including a particularly eye-catching one from last Halloween which showed her dressed as a mermaid on the beach while Belichick the fisherman reeled her in.
It emerged Monday morning that it wasn’t the first time Hudson, who was described as ‘a constant presence during our interview’ by Dokoupil, muscled in to the questioning.
The inclusion of the awkward interruption was reportedly a very deliberate ploy from the broadcaster, according to a new report by ProFootball Talk.
Mike Florio says: ‘It wasn’t, we’re told, the only time she interjected.
‘While we don’t know the total number of interruptions, it’s our understanding that CBS decided to include that one specific instance because it wasn’t a one-time thing.’
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, an avid New England Patriots fan – an in turn, a Belichick admirer – was quick to say how bad the scenes looked for the coach and Hudson.

‘My Sunday morning routine is always coffee and CBS Sunday Morning. It’s a feel good show. The opposite of controversial,’ Portnoy posted on X alongside a clip of the interview, which was released on Sunday morning.
‘So image my surprise this morning when they had the most awkward Bill Belichick interview I’ve ever seen. Like I was squirming in my seat.’
Piers Morgan echoed the sentiment, insisting that the University of North Carolina head coach needed help.
‘It was utterly excruciating. Mr Belichick needs a family or friend intervention asap,’ the British media personality wrote, quote-tweeting Portnoy’s post.
It wasn’t the first time Belichick and Hudson have made headlines with their 49-year age gap frequently at the center of controversy.
Hudson has frequently hit back at critics of their May-December relationship and even reportedly pleaded the University of North Carolina to censor social media comments about the couple’s relationship.
Fans also became concerned for Belichick earlier this month after he was seen tucking into a ‘lobster’ dinner with his lover.
The lobster, however, was actually cut-up strawberries, accompanied with Graeter’s Ice Cream and a lemon slice.

Hudson posted the photo sharing her plate of dessert and fruit with Belichick in the background eating the same.
‘6x SB winning coach being fed like a toddler is peak 2026 bs,’ one football fan said.
‘Praying for bill,’ another stated.
‘This is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen,’ a third added.
