Could Bill Belichick’s new name for his boat be another sign that the Super Bowl-winning head coach and Jordon Hudson are indeed engaged?
Belichick’s boat got a fresh coat of paint and a new name along with it, going from benign called “VIII Rings” to “I + VIII Rings,” TMZ reported on Tuesday, hours after the New York Times published a piece that included details that Hudson had told at least one person the couple was engaged.
The TMZ report included photos of the boat that showed eight rings around the “R” in the name of the vessel, though it’s not clear whether that’s an homage to an engagement ring that Belichick gave Hudson or a reference to the championship ring she has.
The football coach has eight total Super Bowl rings to his name, six of which were won as head coach of the Pats and two while he was the defensive coordinator for the Giants.
Hudson won a national championship ring when she was a member of the Bridgewater State University cheer squad, which she broke out for the NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans during Super Bowl week.
Belichick and Hudson’s relationship has been the center of media fodder since it became public last June, with attention focused on the 49-year age gap between Belichick, 73, and Hudson, 24.
The news of the relationship made headlines five months after he split from the Patriots, though various reports have suggested that Hudson had been a presence in New England during Belichick’s final season as head coach.
Amid the lengthy report from the Times, it noted that when Hudson attended training camp practices during his final season, “she often wore red pants at the request of Mr. Belichick, so that he might more easily spot her in the crowd.”
Hudson also “frequently joined” Belichick at the team hotel when the Pats would stay nearby Gillette Stadium before home games.
The relationship has garnered even more attention in recent weeks after Belichick’s disastrous interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” which included Hudson interjecting herself to cut off the interviewer’s question about how the pair met.
The PR nightmare opened the floodgates into questions surrounding her involvement in Belichick’s affairs on and off the football field and brought to light her burgeoning real estate portfolio worth more than $8 million among other details about the 24-year-old.
Hudson is also being “iced out” of the Nantucket’s social scene and charity circuit by those loyal to Belichick’s ex, Linda Holliday, Page Six reported.
Belichick and Hudson met aboard a flight from Boston to West Palm Beach in 2021 and Holiday and Belichick reportedly split in 2023.
“People are turned off by her. She’s kind of young — who knows what happened when Linda was still [dating Belichick]. Did Jordan come into the picture?” a source told Page Six.
