Bill Belichick’s Painfully Awkward Interview Crumbles Under Robert Kraft Friction Grilling

Awkward Bill Belichick Interview Goes Viral Over Robert Kraft, Girlfriend Questions
By Jake Nise and Isabel Baldwin | Updated: April 28, 2025

Bill Belichick’s CBS Sunday Morning interview took an uncomfortable turn as the former New England Patriots coach faced pointed questions about his relationship with team owner Robert Kraft and his much-discussed romance with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.

The segment, promoting Belichick’s new book The Art of Winning, quickly shifted focus when interviewer Tony Dokoupil grilled the 73-year-old about Kraft’s absence from the memoir. Despite their 24-year partnership and six Super Bowl wins, Kraft is not mentioned once in the book—not even in the acknowledgments.

“How come?” Dokoupil pressed.
“It’s about my life lessons in football, focusing on those I experienced directly,” Belichick replied. When the interviewer noted Kraft’s omission, the coach tersely added, “Correct,” followed by an awkward silence.

Dokoupil then referenced Kraft’s past comment that Belichick was “fired” from the Patriots. The coach deflected, repeating, “It was a mutual decision” three times.

The interview’s tension peaked when Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, interrupted a question about their relationship. Off-camera, the former cheerleader interjected, “We’re not talking about this,” shutting down discussion of their 49-year age gap.

Despite the scrutiny, Belichick remained unbothered: “I’ve never cared much about others’ opinions. I do what’s right for me.” Hudson, however, has embraced their public spotlight, recently celebrating his birthday on Instagram as her “twin flame.”

The interview underscored the coach’s trademark stoicism—and the lingering questions surrounding his Patriots exit. With neither Belichick nor Kraft addressing their split head-on, the mystery endures.
