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 wears one of his Super Bowl rings at NFL Honors after he fills up his own hand

Bill Belichick is one of the rare football guys with too many rings for one hand.

Belichick is an eight-time Super Bowl winner, winning six as head coach of the New England Patriots and two more while he was the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator.

After being out of the NFL for the 2024 season, his first season away from a sideline in nearly five decades, Belichick made the rounds at Thursday’s NFL Honors.

Belichick appeared roughly two months after he was hired as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Despite being in the college ranks now, Belichick had to remind everyone who the GOAT is. So, he displayed his Super Bowl rings on his right hand.

And he gave one ring to his girlfriend to show off while attending with him.

Belichick and his girlfriend, 24-year-old former cheerleader Jordon Hudson, 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 of last year, shortly before reports surfaced she and Belichick had been dating.

TMZ reported at the time that their first meeting ended with Belichick writing a note in her college textbook.

“Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!” Belichick appeared to write in the book.

Trump hiring freeze prompts DOJ to pull job offers in AG’s Honors Program: report

The Department of Justice is rescinding job offers for the Attorney General’s Honors Program amid President Donald Trump’s federal hiring freeze, according to a new report.

The Attorney General’s Honors Program, established in 1953, hires graduating law students or recent law school graduates from top law schools such as Harvard, Duke, Georgetown, Stanford and the University of Virginia.

But the Department of Justice notified those who had been selected for the program, which serves as a pipeline to recruit top legal talent into the public sector, that their offers were being revoked, several people familiar with the decision told the Washington Post.

The Department’s Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management distributed an email to those affected via email on Wednesday.

“Pursuant to the hiring freeze announced Jan. 20, 2025, your job offer has been revoked,” said the email,” according to an email the Post obtained.

Those familiar with the program said it may take on more than 100 lawyers annually, with recent hires assigned to the antitrust, national security, criminal and other divisions.

They told the Post that the program is critical in recruiting new top talent to the Justice Department in order to replace outgoing legal talent. The two-year program places young attorneys on a career path to stay at the Department once the program concludes.

The Post reports that it is uncertain whether the program will resume once federal hiring starts again.

The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Trump signed a series of executive orders on Inauguration Day this week, including those initiating the federal hiring freeze as well as withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, and directing every department and agency to address the cost-of-living crisis.

“As part of this freeze, no Federal civilian position that is vacant at noon on January 20, 2025, may be filled, and no new position may be created except as otherwise provided for in this memorandum or other applicable law,” a White House memo said. “Except as provided below, this freeze applies to all executive departments and agencies regardless of their sources of operational and programmatic funding.”

Those exempt from the hiring freeze include military personnel and other federal jobs pertaining to immigration, national security or public safety.
