Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson reportedly stormed off from the CBS interview set, causing a 30-minute delay

Football coach Bill Belichick recently appeared on CBS Sunday Morning for an interview about his new book, The Art of Winning. However, the session took an unexpected turn when his partner, Jordon Hudson, reportedly dropped out of the set mid-interview, causing a half-hour delay in filming.

According to an exclusive report by TMZ, when interviewer Tony Dokoupil asked Bill about the couple’s first meeting, Hudson interrupted, stating they wouldn’t be discussing it.

The interview, intended to center on Belichick's newly launched book, The Art of Winning, had originally been planned with representatives from the publishing house in attendance. Instead, Hudson accompanied Belichick, reportedly surprising the media house officials with their absence.

Sources also claimed that Hudson wanted Bill Belichick to exit the set with her, though it is unclear whether it happened. Moreover, Jordon Hudson interrupted several other times during the interview and even corrected Bill’s responses to certain sports-related questions.

In the interview, Dokoupil asked why we wrote the book when he was still practising the art, to which Bill Belichick said:

“Well, I never had really had a good chance to do that before. So, I tried to capture some of the ups and downs and the preparation, and the dealing with star players and the big moments.”

Tony Dokoupil had to wrap up the conversation, despite the unforeseen events. Although another interview was scheduled with Bill, it was cancelled later. Meanwhile, editors were forced to cut the final segment by 30 minutes before it aired.

What title did Bill Belichick have in mind for his book?

When asked how it felt to celebrate under a shower of confetti, Bill Belichick said it felt like a major milestone, something he had spent his whole life working toward.

He explained that winning felt special, and he tried to fully enjoy the moment because deep down, he wasn't sure if he'd ever get the chance to experience it again. Dokoupil asked what made him name the book The Art of Winning, and Belichick replied:

“The publisher, a couple other advisers on the book. That was really their choice. My choice would have been ‘How I did my job’ or ‘Lessons from my life in football.’”

Bill Belichick explained that as an only child, he spent much time with his father and followed in his footsteps, who was also a football coach, which exposed the NFL icon to football in the first place. Had his father chosen a different career, he would likely have done the same.

When asked why he didn't rebel as some children do, Belichick said it was because he saw how much others respected and admired his father, which made it worthwhile. He recalled his father’s words, who told him:

“You are never going to make any money coaching. You need to go to business school. You need to get a job.”

When asked how he handled public interest in his personal life, Bill Belichick said he never really cared much about what other people thought and focused on doing what he believed was right for himself.
