Bill Belichick’s girlfriend is showing up for her man!

During the Dec. 12 event introducing him as a member of Tar Heel nation as the new head football coach of UNC-Chapel Hill, Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, was also on hand to lend him support.

Hudson, 24, was sitting next to Millie Lombardi, the wife of Michael Lombardi, who is also stepping into a new role as UNC general manager, the New York Post reported.

Hudson previously supported Belichick’s big move on social media via a post on her Instagram Stories, writing “We are onto Chapel Hill!!!” The comment was a callback to Belichick’s viral 2014 mantra of, “We’re onto Cincinnati,” which he repeated to reporters after a tough loss while head coach of the New England Patriots.
