Six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick made his red carpet debut with his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, amid speculation on his coaching future Thursday (December 5) night.

Belichick, 72, and Hudson, 24, attended The Museum Gala at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan hours after reports that the legendary coach had interviewed for the University of North Carolina's head football coaching gig. On June 18, TMZ Sports shared a photo of Belichick and Hudson's first encounter days after initial reports on their relationship.

Belichick was seen smiling with Hudson in a selfie taken during the reported flight they shared from the Boston area to Florida in February 2021. The former New England Patriots coach also autographed a textbook for Hudson during their initial meeting, as shown in other photos obtained by TMZ Sports.

“Jordon, Thanks for giving me a course on logic! Safe travels!” Belichick wrote with his signature inside the 'Deductive Logic' textbook, along with the numbers for each of the Super Bowls won by the Patriots during his tenure with the franchise.

On Thursday, InsideCarolina.com's Grant Hughes reported that Belichick interviewed for the North Carolina vacancy and was "among a group of candidates the Tar Heels have spoken with since firing Mack Brown on Nov. 26, a list that Inside Carolina reports includes Tulane head coach Jon Sumerall and Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, among others."

Belichick, who interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons' vacancy earlier this year, is the third-winningest coach in NFL history and one of seven NFL head coaches to have spent more than 20 years with one franchise following George Halas (40) of the Chicago Bears, Curly Lambeau (29) of the Green Bay Packers, Tom Landry (29) of the Dallas Cowboys, Don Shula (26) of the Miami Dolphins, Steven Owen (24) of the New York Giants and Chuck Noll of the Pittsburgh Steelers, all of whom have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
