Bill Belichick had a blunt response to a quizzing about his love life as he addressed reporters in the wake of his breakup from Jordon Hudson on Monday.
It emerged on the eve of the University of North Carolina’s narrow loss to Miami that the NFL legend, 74, and his much-younger girlfriend Hudson, 25, had secretly split towards the end of last year.
Hudson is said to have already moved on and is seeing other people but the high-profile couple reportedly remain ‘close friends’ in the wake of their breakup, TMZ on Friday evening.
In the wake of the news, Hudson was absent from the Tar Heels’ game on Saturday, despite having been an eye-catching fixture on the sidelines throughout Belichick’s tenure in Chapel Hill.
However, even Hudson’s determination to stay out of the spotlight didn’t stop Belichick from facing a grilling about the end of their age-gap relationship.
The legendary football coach was asked about the rumors of their separation during his Tar Heels press conference on Monday – and he wasn’t left impressed.

Belichick and Hudson secretly ended their age-gap relationship last year, per TMZ
‘Do you work for a tabloid now?’ Belichick snapped back in a biting tone.
The sullen eight-time Super Bowl winner added: ‘I’ll keep my personal comments and relationships to myself if that’s alright with you.’
The former New England Patriots coach started dating the cheerleader back in 2022, after they first met on a flight from Boston to Florida.
They were first pictured together in January 2023, before finally going public with their relationship in June 2024.
They have since been on a whirlwind and often controversial romance, which resulted in them living together between North Carolina, where Belichick is currently coaching the UNC football team, and Nantucket.
A source close to Hudson told TMZ that the pair quietly ended their relationship ‘late last year,’ though it is unclear who exactly pulled the plug.
It is also being reported that Hudson has been ‘seeing other people’ since her romance with Belichick, who is 49 years her senior, came to an end.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the pair for further comment.
It is extremely surprising that the news wasn’t made public any earlier, especially given Hudson has been a constant presence on the sideline at UNC games this season – and as recently as last weekend against Syracuse in Chapel Hill.
A week earlier, she was alongside her now-ex-boyfriend for the road game against Duke, with the pair beaming as they left the field together.
