How Jordon Hudson’s ‘DWTS’ talks fell apart at…
Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, was in negotiations to be a part of the current season of “Dancing With the Stars,” but issues never labored out because she needed artistic control, according to the Daily Mail.
“Jordon was meant to be on the show and they were pushing for it for some time,” an insider told the outlet. “The producers knew they struck gold getting her but they couldn’t get on the same page.”
Hudson, a former NCAA championship cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, reportedly didn’t need her storyline only to be about her relationship with the UNC soccer coach and the controversy surrounding their relationship.

The couple was the subject of a media firestorm after Hudson interrupted Belichick’s “CBS Mornings” interview in April, when the coach was requested a query abut how they’d met.
“Jordon mentioned she wasn’t interested in doing certain interviews and she wanted to control loads, including picking her dance partner and when to practice, so she could attend games with Bill. She also didn’t like the direction that [DWTS] wanted to take her story because it seemed to be all about controversy and she wasn’t interested in making it all about her and Bill,” the insider said.
The negotiations with Hudson reportedly had been so far along that “DWTS” producers had been left scrambling to discover a alternative for her.

Derek Hough, who is a choose on the show, beforehand told Daily Mail, that a solid member had “backed out” of the show, and that issues would’ve been “a little messy” if they’d stayed.
“I do know [who backed out]. But I can’t share that. I can’t share that,” Hough said. “It would’ve been a little messy, I’ll let you know that.’
Representatives for ABC and Jordon Hudson didn’t reply to the Daily Mail’s requests for remark.
The Daily Mail beforehand reported in May that Hudson was approached to be a part of “DWTS,” including that she would seemingly decline due to Belichick’s soccer schedule at UNC.

On Saturday, Hudson joined Belichick on the sphere at Kenan Memorial Stadium before the Tar Heels notched their first home win of the 2025 season, a 41-6 victory over Richmond.
This isn’t he first time Hudson allegedly collapsed a project because of artistic variations.
Hudson reportedly was behind fallout of a almost finished deal between UNC and NFL Films to have the soccer program be the subject of “Hard Knocks,” a multi-part docuseries that normally follows NFL groups.
Hudson “demanded” to be an government producer, and told execs to deal with her with respect, or they wouldn’t get to use the coach’s “IP,” according to Page Six.
Belichick, who said the pair met on a flight in 2021, said Hudson handles his alternatives outdoors of UNC.
The couple went public with their relationship in the summer time of 2024.
