Social media influencer Alix Earle has been spotted in the company of Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, at the College Football National Championship game in Miami. The 25-year-old internet personality, who recently confirmed her split from Houston Texans safety Braxton Berrios, attended the high-stakes showdown between her alma mater, the University of Miami, and the Indiana Hoosiers.
VIP Suite Encounter at Hard Rock Stadium
Earle watched her former school suffer a narrow 27-21 defeat from one of the best seats in the house. The Dancing With The Stars alumna was seated next to Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick, in a VIP suite. Hudson, a former cheerleader, shared a photo of the pair posing for a selfie to her Instagram story, captioning it: 'Friend from an alternate timeline.'
Shared Connections and Controversial Relationships
The two women have much in common thanks to their similar ages and internet notoriety, but they also appear to share a taste for high-profile men connected to the New England Patriots dynasty. Earle was recently caught getting handsy with NFL legend Tom Brady in a now-viral video from a New Year's Eve party in St. Barths. The flirtatious couple could have been set for a reunion at Hard Rock Stadium, with the seven-time Super Bowl winner also present to monitor the championship game unfold from the sidelines.
Despite their 23-year age difference, Earle was filmed getting touchy and flirty with Brady, 48, just weeks after splitting from Berrios. Interestingly, Berrios was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2018 when Brady was the team's starting quarterback. Both Brady and Berrios played under Belichick during their time in New England, creating a web of connections between all parties involved.
Belichick's Presence and Hudson's Controversial Spotlight
Bill Belichick was also at the National Championship game, despite his Tar Heels failing to make the playoffs following a disastrous first season in charge. The former Patriots coach headlined the ACC Network's pregame coverage before moving to the sidelines to deliver real-time reactions and analysis. His role explained Hudson's attendance at the game and her proximity to Earle in the VIP suite.
Like Earle, Hudson is no stranger to headlines, though not always for flattering reasons. Her 49-year age difference with Belichick, 73, sparked controversy after their relationship went public in 2023, and she has rarely been out of the spotlight since. In April, Hudson and Belichick made headlines when she awkwardly muscled in on the coach's interview with CBS's Tony Dokoupil, described as 'a constant presence during the interview' while lurking off camera.
Internal Uproar and Legal Actions
It also emerged that month that Hudson had been pleading with the University of North Carolina to censor social media comments about the couple's relationship. In July, the Daily Mail revealed the university was facing backlash from alumni, donors, and faculty who said the age-gap relationship was eclipsing Belichick's coaching debut and tarnishing UNC's reputation.
Emails obtained through public records requests exposed internal uproar over what critics called a 'disgrace' and a 'circus.' Despite hiring the most successful NFL coach of all time, UNC failed to qualify for this season's College Football Playoffs, finishing 4-8 and missing a bowl game for the first time since 2018.
In November, Hudson claimed she was taking legal action against former ESPN reporter Pablo Torre over his reports about her relationship with Belichick. Torre had been responsible for several damaging reports, including one claiming she had been banned from the UNC football facility. The Tar Heels refuted the allegations, and Hudson responded by uploading an Instagram photo wearing a necklace that reads: 'Banned.'
Most recently, Belichick was seen cheering on 24-year-old Hudson as she competed with her team, Code Black, in a cheerleading competition in Atlanta, demonstrating his ongoing support despite the controversy surrounding their relationship.
