Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, was among the VIPs at Hard Rock Stadium for Monday night’s College Football Playoff national championship. But her seating arrangement quickly became a talking point on social media.
Hudson shared an Instagram story showing she was seated in a luxury box next to social media star Alix Earle, calling her a “friend from an alternate timeline.” Earle, a Miami alum, was on hand to support the Hurricanes, while Belichick attended for a guest appearance on the ACC Network, bringing Hudson with him.
On the surface, this seems like a non-story, but Earle has recently been linked to Tom Brady with the two spending quality time together and likely an item. This fueled online speculation due to the broader NFL presence at the game. Tom Brady was in attendance alongside Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, as the duo evaluated Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

The NFL franchise is looking to take the Hoosiers' Heisman Trophy winner with the top overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Brady, now a partial owner of the Raiders, is expected to play a larger role in football decisions this offseason. He's also looking for a new head coach after firing Pete Carroll.
Could Bill Belichick be headed to Vegas? Seems pretty crazy, right?

This would be a perfect time for a mock interview with nobody suspected anything on either side. To have Belichick's system with Mendoza and Brady overseeing the entire operation might be a winning formula. Stranger things have happened.

Mendoza handled Miami’s pressure and led Indiana to its first national title. He'll likely declare for the NFL Draft in the coming days, setting this all in motion.
Belichick, 73, is entering Year 2 at North Carolina and has publicly shot down NFL rumors. But hasn’t closed the door. His reported $1 million buyout and the Raiders’ need for stability keep speculation alive, especially with Brady wanting to turn around everything in Las Vegas.
