Travis Kelce’s Old Joke About Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick Has Our Attention After He ‘Likes’ Revealing Clip
Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick and 24-year-old former cheerleader Jordon Hudson continue to spark headlines in 2025. Known for his stoic sideline demeanor and six Super Bowl rings, Belichick is rarely associated with tabloid intrigue — until now. Hudson reportedly grew close to the 72-year-old coach over the past year, raising eyebrows across both sports circles. Now, we’re revisiting a joke Travis Kelce made regarding Hudson and Belichick’s romance. Here’s what to know — and the Instagram clip Travis “liked” recently.
Travis Kelce once joked that Jordon Hudson was Bill Belichick’s daughter
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce garnered attention in the media for dating Taylor Swift. He and his brother, Jason Kelce, speak about football, life, and love on their podcast, New Heights. In June 2024, Travis and Jason commented on Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordon Hudson while speaking on their podcast.
“Belichick’s a smooth operator,” Travis said, unable to contain his laughter as he jokingly referred to Hudson as Belichick’s daughter before correcting himself.
Jason didn’t want to breach the subject and ordered his brother to stop talking about the 72-year-old and the 24-year-old. “‘Let’s not go there, please,” Jason begged. “Jesus Christ.”
To conclude, Travis added, “He’s killing it.”
Despite the jokes, Travis explained his admiration and respect for Belichick in the past. “I just mentioned how much I respect him and how much it’s always the biggest challenge I go up against in the National Football League is going up against one of his defenses,” Travis said on the New Heights podcast in 2023. “I just wanted to make sure he heard that from my mouth. It’s been a pleasure going up against him all these years. … Hats off to him for always being that great.”
Travis Kelce ‘liked’ a clip about Bill Belichick attending his girlfriend’s Miss Maine USA pageant
NFL analyst Erin Andrews is friends with Travis Kelce and has responded well to Travis’s relationship with Taylor Swift. In May 2025, Andrews co-hosted Today with Jenna Bush-Hager, and the subject of Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, came up. Andrews commended Belichick for sitting front row while Hudson competed at the Miss Maine USA pageant.
“He was front row, which I gotta say, people have asked a lot and I work with Tom Brady, so I’ve been asking him a lot, ‘What do you think about this?’ because he knows coach as a coach and I know coach from being on the sidelines,” Andrew said, adding that Hudson gets “congeniality points if she’s got him showing up front row.”
The clip, which made its way to Instagram, caught Travis’s attention. He gave the clip a “like,” prompting suspicion from fans.
So, did Travis like the clip to show support for Belichick and his friend, Andrews? Or is he trying to save face after previously making fun of Belichick and Hudson’s relationship? We’ll have to wait and see whether Travis tries to discuss the romance once more on his podcast.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end seems to be more careful with the media since dating Taylor Swift
Before Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift, he wasn’t a pop culture figure. However, Swift brought him into the larger public eye — and all eyes are on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast. Travis hasn’t continued to joke about Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson, and it might be because he’s grown more careful with his image. He also appears to be humbled following his Super Bowl LIX loss.
While speaking to Entertainment Tonight in April 2024, Travis explained how he and Swift are “career-driven,” and he hopes to focus on both the NFL and opportunities in the entertainment world. “I’m definitely out here in the entertainment world dabbling around and becoming a professional in that career field,” he said. Again, Travis might be more conscience of what he says about other power players — either in the NFL or in Hollywood — moving forward.
