When asked about their relationship in a CBS interview, Bill Belichick's girlfriend stops.
Bill Belichick is still a skilled defensive player off the football field, but this time it was his girlfriend who blocked.

Belichick, the famed former coach of the New England Patriots, recently had a rare and unexpectedly intimate interview with Tony Dokoupil on CBS Sunday Morning. However, when the topic turned to his relationship with 24-year-old Jordan Hudson, things became tense.
"I have never been too bothered about what everybody else thinks," Belichick, now 73, told Dokoupil as he reflected on his renownedly thick skin when it came to public critique. Simply attempt to do what I believe is right and best for me.
Then came the moment that went viral on the internet: Dokoupil questioningly inquired about the initial meeting between Belichick and Hudson. Hudson, who was watching the interview off-camera, abruptly interrupted Belichick before he could respond, stating, "We are not talking about this."
Astonished for a while, Dokoupil tried again with a straightforward "No?" Hudson firmly said, "No."
The conversation is over.
Despite its briefness, the discussion effectively conveyed two points: Hudson's readiness to keep their private lives out of the public eye and Belichick's long-standing decision to keep his personal life out of the spotlight. This dynamic is reminiscent of Belichick's notoriously abrasive interaction with the media during his two decades as the Patriots' head coach, a time when "stonewalling" was all but a coaching tenet.
Later in the interview, however, Belichick had a rare moment of self-reflection by admitting that he may have handled his interactions with reporters differently over the years.
He stated, "I understand they have a tough job," according to CBS Sports. However, as a coach, you also have a task to do. Sometimes I could have been more understanding. I acknowledge that.
It is a startling display of openness from a man who established a dynasty on tactful pragmatism and an unwavering emphasis on "doing your job" — and a reminder that even football and life heroes occasionally reflect on their past and question whether a little more grace may have made a big difference.
How did Hudson and Belichick meet? That is still their secret for the time being, just the way they want it.
