Despite all of the controversy surrounding their relationship, it appears Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson are engaged, thanks to a subtle move made by the North Carolina Tar Heels football coach.
A new photo from TMZ added fuel to the fire. They obtained a photo of his boat, which previously read, “VIII Rings,” or “Eight Rings, to represent the eight Super Bowl rings he won as a head or assistant coach.
Now, the boat reads, “I+VIII Rings,” or “One Plus Eight Rings.” While it is unclear what the ninth ring is, some are speculating that it means the engagement ring he would have given Hudson if he proposed.
