Story summary

Bill Belichick, 74, the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, addressed rumors about his girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 25, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Wednesday. Despite her presence at football games and requests for certain emails, Hudson does not have any official role managing Belichick’s coaching career. The rumors began after students from the Marching Tar Heels reported seeing Hudson leaving football practice multiple times last year. Belichick clarified that asking communications staff to copy Hudson on his emails sparked misunderstandings but did not imply she had an operational role in the program. He emphasized that these requests were for information he already shared with her, given his busy schedule when taking the job at UNC in December.
