Importance Score: 15 / 100 🟠
March 28th, already a celebratory date for New England Patriots supporters, has gained new significance as former head coach Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, embraces the day. Hudson, 24, marked “3-28” with a social media post referencing Super Bowl LI, the infamous game where the Atlanta Falcons suffered a historic defeat against Belichick’s Patriots. The playful gesture highlights the couple’s dynamic and Belichick’s enduring legacy with the Patriots.
Jordon Hudson Celebrates “3-28” with Bill Belichick
“Happy 3-28 to those who celebrate,” Jordon Hudson declared in a recent Instagram post, accompanied by an image of herself and her 72-year-old boyfriend, Bill Belichick.
In the photograph, the former cheerleader is seen taking a picture of their reflections. Belichick, the newly appointed North Carolina football coach, is sporting Tar Heels gear, while Hudson is wearing a grey long-sleeve shirt emblazoned with congratulations to the Atlanta Falcons for their Super Bowl LI victory.
The Super Bowl LI Connection
The humor stems from the outcome of Super Bowl LI on February 5, 2017, in Houston, Texas. Atlanta, despite holding a commanding 28-3 lead, ultimately lost to Tom Brady and the Patriots, 34-28. New England mounted an unprecedented comeback, scoring 31 unanswered points to secure the win in what is remembered as the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. Since then, “3-28” has become a symbolic date of celebration for Patriots fans, commemorating their team’s remarkable victory over the Falcons.
At the time of this momentous game, Hudson was just shy of her 16th birthday. Belichick, then 64, was in a relationship with Linda Holliday.
Hudson’s Shirt Makes a Repeat Appearance
This isn’t the first instance of Hudson wearing the Falcons-mocking shirt. She was previously seen in the garment in February, during Super Bowl festivities in New Orleans, where she and Belichick were attending events.
For those who might find such playful taunting beneath Belichick, his choice of boat name provides context. He christened his $225,000 powerboat “VIII Rings,” a clear reference to his Super Bowl victories – six as head coach of the New England Patriots and two as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.
Fan Reactions and Age Gap Commentary
One online commentator suggested Belichick’s apparent jest directed at the Falcons could arise from Atlanta’s decision not to hire him after his departure from Foxborough in January 2024. “Absolutely diabolical,” she commented, “Especially since Atlanta didn’t give him an offer.”
Numerous other online users expressed curiosity regarding Hudson’s age during Super Bowl LI.
“She was 16 when this happened,” one commenter stated, slightly exaggerating her age at the time.
Another asked, “Wasn’t she like 12 during that?” further amplifying the perceived age difference.
Yet another user jokingly questioned, “Was she alive for that Super Bowl?”
Relationship Status and Public Appearances
Despite criticism surrounding their 48-year age difference, Hudson has remained unfazed. She continues to share images of herself and Belichick on social media and appears to be a significant presence in his life as he embarks on his new role in Chapel Hill.
Hudson previously engaged with an Instagram critic and Philadelphia Eagles fan just weeks prior. When concerns were raised about Belichick’s health after Hudson was seen assisting him after a basketball game, she responded by posting pictures of him lifting her on a beach in North Carolina.
Engagement Speculation
Adding to the attention, Hudson has ignited engagement rumors after she was photographed with a prominent ring on her left ring finger during Super Bowl week.
Following this, an unnamed source reportedly told Page Six that marriage has been discussed between the pair.
The source further indicated that marriage “isn’t out of the question,” but noted a potential prenuptial agreement would be part of any marital arrangement.
The insider also stated that “Jordon hasn’t put any pressure on Bill at all to propose, and she feels like it will happen when and if the time is right.”
This report surfaced after the couple’s highly visible Super Bowl week in New Orleans, where they were seen together at a charity event leading up to the game.
