Kelly Stafford weighs in on Jordon Hudson-Bill Belichick relationship amid scrutiny: ‘Fair game'

Fox News03-05-2025
Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, after Hudson received backlash for interrupting a recent interview with the coach after a question about their relationship was asked.
Stafford discussed the incident on the latest episode of her podcast, "The Morning After," where her co-host called the interruption "unacceptable." Stafford agreed.
While admitting that neither Hudson nor Belichick should have to answer personal questions if they choose not to, Stafford pointed out that Hudson's activity on social media makes questions about their personal life "fair game."
"You never really saw him much in the social media platform stuff, and now he's everywhere with her. Right? I do think there is a little bit of responsibility in knowing that – for her – knowing that questions are going to be asked, because they are so public with their relationship."
"I think it's fair game both ways, in a way," Stafford continued. "If she doesn't want to talk about it, then they don't have to talk about it."
Hudson's social media account has several photos of Belichick that rival the persona the legendary coach built for himself over the years on the football field.
In October, Hudson posted a photo of the couple on a beach. Belichick was dressed as a fisherman, and Hudson as a mermaid. In March, she shared a video of the couple appearing to practice yoga on the beach. She also posted for Belichick's 73rd birthday last month, calling him her "twin flame."
But it was Belichick's interview with "CBS News Sunday Morning" over the weekend to promote his new book that captured the most headlines. Hudson interrupted the interview to shut down a question about how the couple had met, and according to reports, she interrupted several times and even stormed off at one point, delaying the interview by around 30 minutes.
Belichick released a statement saying he was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she had been doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips."
CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichick's version of events.
"When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview," the company said. "There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed."

NYC's ‘We're With Colbert' rally for late-night host is a bust with just 20 protesters

What a joke. A Big Apple rally in support of on-his-way-out 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert drew fewer than two dozen people Sunday — with even the NYPD cops on scene quickly calling it a day since most of the demonstrators left after just a few minutes. Organizers said the 'We're With Colbert' gathering outside the CBS Broadcast Center on Manhattan's West Side said it was meant to be part of a nationwide call for 'integrity.'

REUTERS 4 Colbert was told this was his last season on CBS, sparking controversy on both sides. CBS 'Our country is not perfect, never has been,' said the event's organizer, who would only identify himself as Matt and said his nickname is 'Slim.' Advertisement 'But we've always had the First Amendment, and now Mango Mussolini is trying to take that from us,' he said, referring to a derogatory nickname for President Trump. CBS said declining viewership and diminishing profits led to its decision to end the show in May 2026, effectively firing the 61-year-old talk-show host Colbert — but critics claim the network bowed to pressure from Trump. 4 CBS officials said the decision to fire Colbert was the result of growing costs and diminishing viewership.

LOOK: Texans QB C.J. Stroud makes no-look pass during training camp

If C.J. Stroud makes these throws on the regular, it'll be hard to slow him and the Houston Texans' offense down this fall. During Saturday's open practice to the fans, Stroud evaded a pair of defenders to connect with tight end Dalton Schultz for a first-down gain. The no-look pass is what will bring people to social media, but credit to Schultz for making the one-handed grab and completing the play. Here's a look at the snap below. Stroud and Schultz are both looking to rebound after setbacks from their breakout 2023 campaigns. Stroud, who won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after throwing for 4,000 yards, only tossed 20 touchdown passes while also throwing a career-high 12 interceptions. Even though his on-field play wasn't perfect, he was still able to guide the Texans to a second division title and playoff victory in the wild-card round. Schultz, who signed a three-year extension worth $36 million in the offseason, only managed to total two touchdown receptions off 53 catches for 523 yards. His role could expand now with the hiring of Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach and passing-game coordinator Nick Caley as the new offensive coordinator. The Texans return to practice on Monday. They'll be in Houston through the week before leaving for The Greenbriar in West Virginia next week ahead of their preseason matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
