Looks like Bill Belichick’s post-Patriots life took another unexpected turn, going from quiet retirement to the media spotlight. His departure from New England was dramatic, but this is a whole new level. He’s survived controversies like Spygate and Deflategate, but this is different. What started as a peaceful transition into writing has become a media frenzy, with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, in the center. Instead of scandal, though, it’s excitement driving the headlines. Incredibly, Belichick’s comeback narrative has even reached Madden 26 cover discussions—and the public is loving it.
Well, do you remember Jordan Hudson’s Jupiter Beach post back in March? The two lovebirds were not just enjoying their vacation but were also giving fans a much-needed reminder that beaches are not just for sunbathing. Jordan shared some posts where Belichick was holding her up in the air on his legs, showing off their yoga and gymnastic skills. But who would have thought one of those pictures would make Madden 26 buzz?
So, ML Football hit X with this thought and a mockup cover image of one of their beach pictures and asked fans, “SHOULD BILL BELICHICK BE THE COVER OF MADDEN 26…?” And that’s where the fun begins. As fans are excited about the possibility of the duo appearing on the cover of EA Sports’ Madden NFL, a popular football game. This buzz arrived exactly when Belichick and Hudson most needed the spotlight.
Amidst the excitement, Jordan Hudson faced backlash from Bill Belichick’s inner circle after a bold move during a CBS Sunday Morning interview. The 24-year-old interrupted to stop questions about her relationship with the legendary coach. Comedian Nikki Glaser defended her, saying, “She was jumping into that conversation during the interview just like any PR person would jump in when there’s an unnecessary question.”

However, Belichick’s daughter-in-law, Jen, disagreed, sharply criticizing Glaser’s comment. In the comments, she fired back, “Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t ‘storm’ off set delaying an interview.” This followed Jordon’s abrupt interruption of host Tony Dokoupil—a sharp “I’m not talking about this”—effectively derailing the segment. The camera caught their exchange: Tony’s “No?” met with Hudson’s firm, repeated “No.”
But one force remains on Hudson’s side, and that’s Bill Belichick – who took a firm stand and stated the exact reason behind her actions. On April 30, he explained, “I agreed to speak with CBS Sunday Morning to promote my new book, The Art of Winning — Lessons from My Life in Football.” He added that he’d already instructed his Simon & Schuster publicist to keep questions book-focused. Belichick continued, “After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion.”
While some criticized her actions, Bill Belichick saw them as protecting his boundaries, not seeking conflict. Well, haters gonna hate, but lovers gonna love – that’s exactly what’s happening with them over the entire Madden 26 buzz storm.
Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s Madden 26 buzz gets a push
While Bill Belichick and GF Jordon Hudson might be fighting against all odds to stay together, it looks like they have fallen into a quicksand of controversy. There’s no denying the fact that both of them always grab the headlines. But this time it’s a weird one. Well, Belichick and Hudson making it to the Madden 26 cover is what’s keeping all the fans on edge. However, that’s not possible anymore, as firstly he isn’t an NFL coach anymore, and secondly, he was never a part of the coaches association. But fans are going gaga over this idea, as one of them took X and hit it with a ‘Yes’ gif.
Now, going away from reality, both Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson are a cover material. It’s either their red carpet presence or their power couple appearance in NFL Honors 2025; Belichick and Hudson lit up the floor they walk on. So, when fans desire to see them together on the Madden cover, it isn’t out of wedlock. This X user’s comment saying, “Let’s go,” shows their excitement over the entire notion.
Let’s be real. Jordan Hudson has been giving such cover-like poses with Bill Belichick for a long time. Remember last year’s beach sizzling photo shoot where Hudson was posing as a mermaid and Belichick was holding a fishing rod towards her. Crazy, right? She even played around with the caption on IG, saying, “Ouchhhh!!” No wonder fans look at them as a cover-ready couple. And just like all other fans, this one joined the same war cry, commenting, “Sure, why not?”
Look, all this is just working in favor of Jordan Hudson, knowing that cameras and photoshoots are her comfort zone. As she is going to be running for Miss Maine USA 2025 this year. So, this uncalled positive publicity is just making things easier for her in the future. And Bill Belichick isn’t getting all those comments directed at their age gap and stuff is a relief. Fans are just hyping them up the same way, saying “Yes” to the comments.
However, let’s not sleep on that, as there are some fans throwing sarcastic jabs at them. Just like this fan hitting the comment section with straight-up negativity saying, “Lol.” But when the entire crew is backing you, there’s no way anything can dim their shine. Now that people are also exploring the good side of Belichick and Hudson’s relationship, let’s hope that remains constant for a while.
