Jordon Hudson, Bill Belichick engagement rumors swirl amid new report

The Jordon Hudson-Bill Belichick saga took another wild twist Tuesday when a report revealed she has told at least one person they are engaged to be married.

The bombshell revelation was a small nugget in The New York Times’ profile of Hudson, who has risen from champion cheerleading coach to being in a relationship with one of the most famous men in football of this generation.

Fox News Digital reached out to Hudson for comment.

The first notion of the two considering marriage was broached in Page Six. A report from the gossip outlet said the two "discussed marriage," which wasn’t "out of the question."

The report added at the time that Hudson didn't "put any pressure on Bill at all to propose, and she feels like it will happen when and if the time is right."

The two were first publicly linked last year, three years after meeting on a flight. They apparently had gotten more serious after his breakup from Linda Holliday in 2022.

Belichick, 73, attended a cheer competition last year in support of Hudson. Afterward, she attended Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony in June, shortly before reports surfaced she and Belichick had been dating.

Hudson was by Belichick’s side at the NFL Honors in February.

The relationship was put under the microscope in recent weeks when Hudson shut down a question during a CBS interview about how the two met. It sparked dueling statements from Belichick and CBS about the question being asked.

Hudson, 24, appeared in the Miss Maine USA pageant and finished second runner-up.

Supreme Court orders Maine legislature to revoke censure of Rep. Laurel Libby over trans athlete post

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Maine state legislature to revoke its censure of GOP state representative Laurel Libby on Tuesday. 

Libby has been censured since Feb. 15 for a social media post that identified a transgender Maine high school athlete who won a girls' pole vault competition. Democrat majority leader and Maine Speaker of the House Ryan Fecteau told Libby that the censure would be revoked if she apologized for the social media post, but Libby has firmly refused.

Instead, the state representative filed a lawsuit to have the censure overturned, but was ruled against by Rhode Island U.S. District Court Judge Melissa DuBose, who was appointed by former President Biden in January. DuBose presided over the case after every district judge in Maine refused to take the case.

Libby then filed an appeal to First Circuit Court of Appeals, but was ruled against there too. So she took her case to the Supreme Court in April. 

Libby had the support of the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who filed an amicus brief supporting Libby in her lawsuit, and Bondi has personally spoken out in support of the embattled Republican state representative. 

"The Department of Justice is proud to fight for girls in Maine and stand alongside Rep. Libby, who is being attacked simply for defending girls in her home state.  As our lawsuit against the state of Maine illustrates, we will always protect girls’ sports and girls’ spaces from radical gender ideology," Bondi told Fox News Digital.

Suns call allegation of CEO's affair with WNBA player 'entirely false and morally reprehensible'

The Phoenix Suns and Mercury fired back at an accusation in a recent lawsuit that claimed the franchises’ CEO Josh Bartelstein was having an affair with WNBA player Sophie Cunningham.

The accusation surfaced in a lawsuit from former employee Gene Traylor against Suns Legacy Partners, LLC. The lawsuit was publicized last week, but one detail came to light during the week.

Traylor said in the lawsuit he met with Josh Bartelstein, who is married, and told him that Cornelius Craig, the teams’ vice president of security of security and risk management, had been going around telling people that Bartelstein was having an affair with Cunningham.

"When Bartelstein asked Plaintiff to reveal what Craig was saying, Plaintiff explained that Craig had been telling others, ‘Josh Bartelstein is f-----g Sophie Cunningham,’" the lawsuit filed in Arizona District Court read. "Additionally, Plaintiff requested that Bartelstein speak with the security team about Craig’s behavior."

The Suns responded in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"The recent reports concerning Josh Bartelstein and Sophie Cunningham are entirely false and morally reprehensible. Let’s be absolutely clear about the origin of these claims," Suns senior vice president of communications Stacey Mitch said.

"Attorney Sheree Wright, a personal injury and immigration lawyer, currently serving a two year probation with the Arizona State Bar for violating the rules of professional conduct, sees an opportunity because of the reports about previous ownership. Ms. Wright has now filed four separate lawsuits against the organization, seeking over $140 million dollars in compensation. To date, her cases have been dismissed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Arizona Civil Rights Division or voluntarily withdrawn.

"She continues to insert salacious lies and fabrications into her complaints—knowing that the media may report them as fact, as happened yesterday—she hopes to coerce the Phoenix Suns into settling. Sheree Wright will not extort our organization and never see a single dollar. 

"We will pursue all available legal avenues and hold those accountable for participating in the spread of misleading and false narratives."

Wright is one of the attorneys representing Traylor in the case.

Traylor, the team’s former director of safety, security and risk management, filed a lawsuit against Suns Legacy Partners, LLC, accusing the company of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. He also alleged that the team retaliated against him after he reported weapons breaches.

The Suns called the allegations Taylor made against the franchise "delusional and categorically false."

"Guest safety is our top priority," a Suns spokeswoman told ESPN last week. "We continue to meet and exceed safety expectations. We regularly conduct security tests, which is standard across the industry. We have used these proactive measures to ensure we are operating at the highest level of safety and preparedness."

Fox News Digital reached out to a Cunningham rep for comment.

She was traded to the Fever from the Mercury in the offseason. She signed an extension with the Mercury before being traded and called Phoenix her "home away from home."

Cunningham sat out of Saturday’s game against the Chicago Sky with an ankle injury.
