Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson step out before the UNC Season
Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s night out came just days before the Tar Heels’ football season opener on September 1, 2025. The dinner date stood out because the couple had kept a quieter profile in recent weeks. They were often in the headlines earlier this year following Jordon and Bill’s ex-partner, Linda Holliday, who met at a charitable event in Nantucket. Though Thursday night in Chapel Hill was different, quiet, welcoming, and smiles abounded that meeting drew a lot of interest. Onlookers described Hudson as cheerful and glowing during the outing, while Belichick appeared relaxed, a sharp contrast to the intense coach fans see on the sidelines. “There is a softer side to him when he is with Jordon,” one diner told TMZ Sports.
