Bill Belichick finally broke his silence on those beach yoga photos he took with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, in March.
After initially brushing off questions about his age-gap romance with Hudson, the Super Bowl champion, 73, joked that he joined Hudson for the beach workout because he is “trying to stay young.”
He also clarified what their working relationship means after Hudson was reported to have taken a bigger role in the coach’s professional life.
“[It] could be a speaking thing, you know, an appearance on this or talk about that or somebody wants an autograph, or that type of thing, and so she’ll kind of help organize that for me,” Belichick said during his appearance on Friday’s episode of the “Pivot” podcast.
Hudson showed off her fit figure as she shared photos of her beach workout with Belichick on Instagram in March.
Belichick could be seen in the photos lying with his back in the sand as he kept Hudson lifted in the air on his feet.
“☀️ #SpringBreak #UsTime #StillGotIt 💪🏼,” she captioned the pictures.
She followed up the post with a video from their workout a week later, writing: “My favorite workout? #Billates 🫶🏼🤸🏽♀️🤣#GoatYoga.”
Belichik’s podcast interview comes soon after the University of North Carolina head football coach awkwardly avoided answering a different question about his romance with the former cheerleader during his Friday “Good Morning America” interview.
In the uncomfortable moment, host Michael Strahan asked, “What does Jordon mean to you?”
“Well, we have good personal relationship,” Belichick responded, quickly adding, “You know, I’m not talking about personal relationships, Michael. You know that.”
Strahan, 53, attempted to laugh off the moment, saying, “I know that, coach! … Are you happy? You look happy. Only happy people do yoga.”
The ex-New England Patriots head coach agreed, but declined to divulge any further details.
Hudson was notably absent from the “GMA” interview following her recent CBS News blunder where she interrupted the coach’s conversation when the interviewer asked about their relationship.
The couple went public with their romance last year, but it seems things have picked up steam as their reported working relationship has also grown in recent months.
We hear that Belichick has “handed off” his brand to his “amateur” girlfriend, with sportswriter Pablo Torre reporting that his family members are “extraordinarily concerned.”
