Snoop Dogg jokes about Bill Belichick’s girlfriend’s age during NFL Honors

Bill Belichick’s much-discussed romance with Jordon Hudson briefly took center stage during Thursday’s NFL Honors ceremony.

Belichick, 72, has been linked to the 24-year-old Hudson since 2023.

The couple attended the league’s annual award show and caught the attention of Snoop Dogg.

As the rapper and actor recalled when the Dallas Cowboys were “good” and the Kansas City Chiefs were “bad,” he addressed Hudson’s youth.

“I’ve been a football fan for a long, long time,” Snoop Dogg said during his monologue. “I mean, I remember back when the Cowboys was good. I remember back when the Chiefs was bad. And I remember, what was it — Bill Belichick’s girlfriend wasn’t even born yet?”

Cameras quickly panned to Hudson, who appeared shocked by the joke. Meanwhile, Belichick smiled as he lightly laughed.

Speculation swirled that Hudson was wearing one of Belichick’s Super Bowl rings, but she later clarified she was wearing a national championship ring she won during her Bridgewater State University cheerleading career.

Hudson also explained that her silver dress was intended to be a nod to the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

“My antics often go over everyone’s head. … I chose this gown because it is reminiscent of a Lombardi Trophy,” she noted.

Thursday was not the first time Belichick heard jokes about his girlfriend’s age.

During Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” last year, Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady each took a jab at their former coach’s romantic life.

“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked,” Gronkowski said. “But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School. You were scouting your new girlfriend.”

Brady followed up with his own ring-related joke.

“Everybody asks me which ring is my favorite. I used to say ‘the next one,’” Brady said. “But now that I am retired, my favorite Ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house a few months ago. Hey, you still got it. Respect baby.”

The Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles meet in the Super Bowl Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX.

FOX’s Super Bowl coverage begins at 1 p.m. ET. Coverage can also be streamed live on Tubi for the first time.

Bill Belichick’s girlfriend clarifies jewelry drama, reveals dress motivation

After not working in the NFL this season for the first time in nearly five decades, Bill Belichick had to remind everyone who the GOAT is.

Belichick attended the NFL Honors wearing all eight of his Super Bowl rings, but his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, was also showing off some jewelry of her own.

It was initially thought Hudson was wearing one of Belichick’s eight rings, six of which he won as Patriots head coach and two he won as Giants defensive coordinator.

However, Belichick was actually wearing all eight of his rings. The one ring Hudson was wearing, she said, was the national championship ring she won with the Bridgewater State University cheerleading team.

Hudson won the title as a member of the 2021 team, according to her Instagram bio. The team also won the national title in 2011, 2014, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

She also said she picked her silver dress for a reason.

“My antics often go over everyone’s head. … I chose this gown because it is reminiscent of a Lombardi Trophy,” Hudson revealed.

The couple attended Thursday night’s NFL Honors in New Orleans roughly two months after Belichick took the North Carolina head coaching job.

Belichick, 72, and the 24-year-old former cheerleader were first publicly linked last year, three years after meeting on a flight to Boston.

She attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony in June, shortly before reports surfaced she and Belichick had been dating.

The 48-year age gap was the butt of one of Snoop Dogg’s jokes during the NFL Honors.

Bill Belichick’s North Carolina contract details show staggering salary, interesting clauses

Bill Belichick has already been on the recruiting trail, but it’s officially official that he’s North Carolina’s next head football coach after he signed his contract.

And it’s a contract with eye-popping numbers.

The other $9 million will be coming from what is described as “supplemental income.”

Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, immediately becomes one of the top 10 highest-paid head coaches in college football. Seven coaches made $10 million or more in 2024, according to USA Today.

The highest-paid coach in the country is Georgia’s Kirby Smart at over $13 million per season. Clemson’s Dabo Swinney ($11.13 million), Texas’ Steve Sarkisian ($10.6 million), USC’s Lincoln Riley ($10.043 million) and Ohio State’s Ryan Day ($10.021 million), fresh off a national championship win, round out the top five.

Like many other contracts, Belichick’s has incentives that would trigger massive paydays if they’re met, including a $750,000 bonus if the Tar Heels reach the College Football Playoff. If they win a national title, Belichick would receive a $1.75 million bonus.

Other incentives include a $150,000 bonus for reaching a bowl game as well as a $350,000 bonus if the team makes an “elite” non-playoff bowl. Those would include the Pop-Tarts Bowl, Gator Bowl, Duke’s Mayo Bowl and a few others.

Finally, a top 25 ranking at the end of the regular season would also trigger a $250,000 bonus for Belichick. And he’d like get his $350,000 bonus for an elite bowl game if the Tar Heels finish in the Top 25.

There is also confirmation that Belichick does have a buyout clause, which was widely reported as North Carolina’s stipulation if he were to leave for a job in the NFL. If Belichick leaves UNC before June 1, the university is owed $10 million. After June 1, the buyout drops to $1 million.

However, despite multiple NFL teams reportedly reaching out to Belichick, he said during his introductory press conference he’s in Chapel Hill to stay.
