Bill Belichick is stirring up engagement rumors with his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, thanks to an intriguing name change for his boat.
The vessel, originally known as the VIII Ring—a nod to Belichick’s impressive eight Super Bowl wins—has now been updated.
The boat is now named i+viii ring, as reported by a source sharing photos with TMZ. This change has led some to speculate that Hudson, who is 24, is engaged to the 73-year-old football coach.
A report from The New York Times indicated that a former cheerleader hinted at the engagement to at least one individual.
As of now, Belichick has not addressed the engagement rumors directly, nor has he commented on any inquiries regarding it.
Belichick was previously married to Debbie Clark, with whom he has children: Amanda, Stephen, and Brian. Following their divorce in 2006, he dated Linda Holiday, but they parted ways in what some described as a “nasty” split in 2023.
Reports suggest that Hudson has been showing off a ring on her left hand, fueling speculation of their romance. Sightings of the couple have included public displays of affection, and they have been linked together in the media since last year.
Engagement speculation first ramped up when Hudson was seen wearing a large ring during an NFL ceremony back in February. They have remained somewhat vague about when their relationship began, briefly mentioning they met while traveling in 2021.
Further sightings at various events, including a luncheon in New York City, suggest their relationship is still going strong, but the exact timeline remains unclear. The couple continues to garner attention with their May-December romance and their recent outings together.
