Speculation is swirling that former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, 73, might be engaged to his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
A significant hint has appeared on his boat, which has reportedly been renamed from ‘VIII Rings’ to ‘I+VIII Rings’ in the waters off Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Belichick already boasts eight Super Bowl rings – six as head coach of the Patriots and two as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.
The addition of “I+” to his boat’s name is being widely interpreted as a nod to a new “ring” from an engagement.
These rumors gained traction after a New York Times report indicated that Hudson recently told “at least one person” that she is engaged to Belichick.
Furthermore, Hudson was photographed wearing a ring on her left ring finger at a New Orleans dinner during Super Bowl week, months ago.
While neither Belichick nor Hudson have officially confirmed the news, the legendary coach made a recent appearance on “Good Morning America” where he was questioned by Michael Strahan about Hudson’s influence.
Belichick, known for his privacy, responded, “Well, we have good personal relationship. And, you know, I’m not talking about personal relationships, Michael, you know that.”
He emphasized that Hudson helps him focus on his current role as head coach at North Carolina.
The relationship between Belichick and Hudson has been under increasing scrutiny, especially after Hudson reportedly interrupted a CBS interview to prevent Belichick from revealing how they met.
Despite Belichick’s efforts to keep their relationship private, the ongoing speculation, now fueled by the boat’s new name, continues to capture public attention.
