Jordan Hudson seems to be keeping quiet after reports surfaced that her boyfriend, Bill Belichickwill not be a first-ballot selection for the 2026 Pro 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’s online store via Instagram on Tuesday, Feb. 3. Hudson was seen ordering three iron-on irons with the organization’s logo for $9.99 each.
The order was “cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and your payment has not been refunded,” the email noted.
The former college cheerleader captioned it, “Hey @profootballhof, what was ‘unforeseen circumstances’? 🤣.”
ESPN reported on January 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 confirmed ESPN’s report on January 27.
The former coach of the New England Patriots guided the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories in nine games during his tenure from 2000 to 2023. As of 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 does not comment on the Selection Committee’s voting and is awaiting the unveiling of the Class of 2026 at the NFL Honors on February 5 in San Francisco,” an ESPN spokesperson said.
For decades, Bill Belichick has been best known as the legendary NFL coach of the New England Patriots, a team he led to six Super Bowl victories during his 24-year tenure. Sports fans adored his gritty, no-nonsense style (some of his memorable catchphrases include “Do your job” and “No days off”). But in 2024, […]
Many who worked with Belichick defended him after the news broke.
“There had to be voters who had bad will for coach Bill Belichick, for whatever reason,” the former Patriots tight end said. Rob Gronkowski said on the Thursday, January 29, episode of Today the show. “But that should, you know, be ignored. It’s all about the resume, and Coach Belichick has a resume. I mean, eight Super Bowls … this guy has a resume.”
Gronkowski, 36, continued, “And beyond that, how many lives has he touched and how many opportunities has he given former players and coaches? I mean, coach Belichick 100 percent deserved to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He’s obviously going to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he’s definitely been overlooked for the past few days.”
“I just think that to myself, I don’t understand,” Tom Brady said. “I mean, I was with him every day. If he’s not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there’s really no coach who should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is funny because people deserved it. He’s amazing. There’s no coach I’d rather play for. If I had to pick one coach to go out there, to win one season, it’s Bill Ichim.”
Belichick and Hudson, who have a 48-year age gap, made their romance official in October 2024.
After Belichick’s appearance, the comedian Jimmy Kimmel joked about the couple’s relationship during a monologue on an episode of his late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Bill Belichick is a bigot and a fraud, but he should have been voted into the Hall of Fame,” Kimmel quipped last week. “A guy has been winning Super Bowls longer than his girlfriend has been alive.”
Kimmel previously joked about the couple’s age gap in April 2025, telling viewers, “I have to say, I love this relationship. I can’t get enough of those two. It’s like they need a reality show. It’s like The Golden Bachelor meets regularly The Bachelorette.”
