NFL honors 2025 was the talk of the town, while Global SuperStar Snoop Dogg tried his best to own the stage the man that stole the spotlight was NFL Legend Bill Belichick who turned up at the event with his 24-year-old girlfriend also wearing all his eight Super Bowl rings.
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick made a notable appearance at the NFL Honors on Thursday, ahead of Super Bowl 59, accompanied by his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Their relationship, which first came to light in June, has garnered significant public interest.
A Public Appearance at NFL Honors
Belichick and Hudson walked the red carpet together at the prestigious event in New Orleans. The legendary coach, now leading the North Carolina Tar Heels football program, has been actively involved in recruiting efforts since taking the job in December. Attending the NFL Honors, he also carried a reminder of his highly successful tenure with the Patriots.
Snoop Dogg’s Playful Jab at Belichick’s Relationship
During the ceremony, hosted by hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg, the couple found themselves at the center of a humorous moment. Snoop, known for his comedic style, took a lighthearted jab at the significant age gap between Belichick and Hudson.
“I’ve been a football fan for a long, long time,” Snoop said. “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.”
Hudson, born in 2000, and Belichick seemed to take the joke in stride, smiling and laughing at the comment.
Hudson’s Role in Belichick’s UNC Tenure
A former cheerleader and Miss Maine USA runner-up, Hudson has reportedly embraced her role in Belichick’s transition to college football, supporting his efforts at UNC. While there has been speculation about a potential return to the NFL, Belichick has shown no public interest in coaching at the professional level—at least for now.
His presence at the Super Bowl festivities, however, suggests that his ties to the league remain strong. Whether his coaching journey will bring him back to the NFL remains to be seen.
