Hudson, 24, posted a carousel of photos. via Instagram on Sunday, December 22, from the American Museum of Natural History’s annual Museum Gala in New York City earlier this month, which marked red carpet debut for the couple of the former collegiate cheerleader and Belichick, 72 years old.
In a selfie taken by Hudson, Belichick was captured with his eyes closed as he leaned his forehead toward Hudson.
While the photo itself might not have been perfect, the rest of the event, which Hudson called “more than just an amazing night at the museum,” certainly was.
“The evening was saturated with all my favorite things: friendship, education, philanthropy, glamour, beet salad, Billy, dance-worthy music, ornithological and ocean exhibits,” Hudson wrote. “We created many wonderful memories together while supporting a great cause; “My heart is full to the brim!!!”

As the daughter of a former fisherman and a self-described “philosopher” and “natural heritage activist,” Hudson spoke effusively about the work of the Museum, which opened in 1871.
“This organization is committed to preserving history, advancing contemporary research, expanding the boundaries of human knowledge, and providing accessible education for all ages,” Hudson wrote. “The importance and widespread applicability of natural history education is much more relevant than many people realize; “It reinforces a sense of biocentrism, promotes better policy-making, preserves culture and heritage, and teaches us about the world we interact with daily.”
Hudson and Belichick made their relationship official in October 2024 when the former college cheerleader first posted photos of the couple via Instagram. The duo initially met while sitting next to each other on a plane in 2021, while Hudson was still in college.
Belichick signed a five-year, $50 million contract to be the new football coach at the University of North Carolina on December 11.
Hudson was front and center at her introductory press conference held at the school’s Chapel Hill campus, and she hinted that she planned to make the move with Belichick.
“We’re in Chapel Hill!!!” Hudson posted via his Instagram Story along with the university’s announcement of Belichick’s hiring.
Belichick’s decision to move on to college football shocked the sports world. He previously won six Super Bowls as head coach of the NFL’s New England Patriots during a 24-year tenure with the franchise, before they decided to part ways in January 2024.
In a statement after his hiring was announced, Belichick said his family history played a role in his decision. Belichick’s father. StephenHe was an assistant coach at North Carolina from 1953 to 1955.
“I am excited for the opportunity at UNC-Chapel Hill,” Belichick said in a statement. “I grew up around college football with my father and I treasured those moments. “I always wanted to coach in college and now I look forward to developing the football program in Chapel Hill.”
