Jordon Hudson shared a series of photos from a recent date night with boyfriend Bill Belichick, including one poorly-timed selfie of the new University of North Carolina head coach.
Hudson, 24, posted a carousel of photos via Instagram on Sunday, December 22 from New York City’s American Museum of Natural History’s annual Museum Gala earlier this month, which marked the red carpet debut for the couple for the former collegiate cheerleader and Belichick, 72.
In a selfie taken by Hudson, Belichick was caught with his eyes closed while leaning his forehead into Hudson.
While the photo itself might not have been picture perfect, the rest of the event — which Hudson called “more than just an incredible Night at the Museum” — certainly was.
“The evening was saturated with all of my favourite things: friendship, education, philanthropy, glamour, beet salad, Billy, dance-worthy music, ornithological & oceanic exhibits,” Hudson wrote. “We created so many great memories together while supporting a great cause; my heart is filled to the brim!!!”
As the daughter of a former fisherman and a self-described “philosopher” and “natural heritage activist,” Hudson gushed about the work of the Museum, which opened in 1871.
“This organization is committed to preserving history, driving contemporary research, expanding the boundaries of human knowledge and providing accessible education to all ages,” Hudson wrote. “The wide-spread importance and applicability of natural history education is far more relevant than many people understand; it reinforces a sense of biocentrism, promotes better policy creation, preserves culture and heritage, and teaches us about the world we interact with on a daily basis.”
Hudson and Belichick made their relationship official in October 2024 when the former collegiate cheerleader first posted photos of the pair via Instagram. The duo initially met while sitting next to each other on a plane in 2021, while Hudson was still in college.
Belichick signed a five-year, $50 million deal to be the new head football coach at the University of North Carolina on December 11.
Hudson was front and center at his introductory press conference held on the school’s Chapel Hill campus, and hinted she planned on making the move with Belichick.
“We are onto Chapel Hill!!!” Hudson posted via her Instagram Story alongside the university’s announcement of Belichick’s hire.
The decision of Belichick to move to college football sent shockwaves through the sports world. He previously won six Super Bowls as head coach of the NFL’s New England Patriots during a 24-year tenure with the franchise, before they decided to part ways in January 2024.
In a statement after his hiring was announced, Belichick said his family’s history played a role in his decision. Belichick’s father, Steve, was an assistant coach at North Carolina from 1953 to 1955.
“I am excited for the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill,” Belichick said in a statement. “I grew up around college football with my dad and treasured those times. I have always wanted to coach in college and now I look forward to building the football program in Chapel Hill.”
