North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, have been the subjects of a great deal of scrutiny for quite some time. Early in their relationship, many made remarks about their 49-year age gap as Belichick is 73 years old while Hudson is just 24. However, their relationship, as of late, has been put under the microscope due to how much influence Hudson has over the head coach.
Most notably, CBS’ interview with Belichick caused a stir because of a sound byte the network chose to include in its airing. While sitting down to discuss his new book, the Tar Heels head coach was asked how he met his girlfriend. “We’re not going to talk about that,” Hudson could be heard saying from off camera.
What followed was a deep dive into the inner workings for the North Carolina football program as it related to Belichick and how much control of it he might have given to his girlfriend. And while the pair has been criticized a great deal over the last few months, some recently leaked emails indicate that CBS may have set up the whole thing.
Bill Belichick Claims CBS Had a Secret Camera on Jordon Hudson During His Interview
After CBS aired the interview, and as the media circled around Belichick and Hudson, the Tar Heels head coach sent an email to Beth Keith, a senior associate vice chancellor in the Office of University Communications, asking for advice on how to handle the situation.
This email was obtained and published by WRAL News and reads:
“Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship,” Belchick wrote in the email. “This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.
“Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there. I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book.
“For approximately 35 uninterrupted minutes, Tony asked questions about the book. Then, the questions shifted to other subjects that were not related to the Art of Winning, which we had outlined as off-limits with my book publicist.
“Secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe instructed her to sit.”
Many took Hudson’s interference in the interview as that of a romantic partner who wanted to keep the beginning of their relationship a secret. However, Belichick appears to claim that she was only acting within her role as the head of his own personal media company.
Regardless of whether or not this is true, the couple will continue to be one of the biggest topics in college football moving forward, especially as the 2025 season approaches.
