Jordan Hudson seems to have broken her silence after reports emerged that her boyfriend, Bill Belichickhe will not be a first ballot choice for 2026 Professional Football Hall of Fame.
Hudson, 24, shared a screenshot of an email notifying him of a canceled order from the Pro Football Hall of Fame online store via Instagram on Tuesday, February 3. Hudson appeared to order three iron-on patches with the organization’s logo for $9.99 each.
The order “was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances and your payment has not yet been refunded,” the email noted.
The former college cheerleader captioned the post: “Hey @profootballhof, what were the ‘unforeseen circumstances’? 🤣.”
Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson has everyone’s attention because of their 48-year age difference. The couple sparked romance rumors in 2023 when they were spotted on several public outings. Several NFL players subsequently made fun of his love life. “Belichick is a fluid operator,” Travis Kelce said on a June 2024 episode of Jason (…)
ESPN reported on Jan. 26 that Belichick, 73, did not receive enough votes needed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, citing sources close to the process. The Athletic corroborated the ESPN report on Jan. 27.
The former New England Patriots coach guided the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories out of nine appearances during his tenure from 2000 to 2023. Since 2025, he has been the head coach of the University of North Carolina’s college football team.
A spokesman for the Hall of Fame previously declined to comment on Belichick’s inclusion in this year’s class.
“The Pro Football Hall of Fame has no comment on the Selection Committee’s vote and looks forward to the presentation of the Class of 2026 at the NFL Honors on February 5 in San Francisco,” the spokesperson told ESPN.
For decades, Bill Belichick was best known as the famous NFL coach of the New England Patriots, the team he led to a Super Bowl victory six times during his 24-year tenure.

Many of Belichick’s former colleagues came to his defense after the news broke.
“There had to be some voters who had some ill will against coach Bill Belichick, for whatever reason,” said former patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said the episode of Thursday, January 29 of the today show “But that should be overlooked. It’s all about resume, and coach Belichick has the resume. I mean, eight Super Bowls … this guy’s got the resume.”
Gronkowski, 36, continued, “And also, how many lives has he touched and how many opportunities has he given former players and coaches as well? I mean Coach Belichick 100% deserved to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He’s obviously going to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he was definitely done in the last few days.”
“I just think that for me, I don’t get it,” Tom Brady he said. “I mean, I was with him every day. If he’s not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there’s really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it. It’s amazing. There’s no coach I’d rather play for. If I pick a coach to go out there, to win me a season, Belichick, I’m going to win a season.
Belichick and Hudson, who have a 48-year age difference, made their romance official in October 2024.

“Bill Belichick is a bit of a dork and a bit of a cheat, but he should have been voted into the Hall of Fame,” Kimmel said last week. “The guy has been winning Super Bowls longer than his girlfriend has been alive.”
Kimmel joked about the couple’s age difference in April 2025, telling viewers: “I have to say, I love this relationship. I can’t get enough of these two. It’s like they need a reality show. It’s like The Golden Bachelor complies with the usual unmarried.”
