Cheer Debut Overshadowed by Mystery Gesture and Famous Beau
All eyes were on Jordon Hudson as she returned to competitive cheerleading, but it was a mysterious final gesture and the presence of her famous boyfriend, Bill Belichick, that truly captured public attention. The 24-year-old made her North Carolina cheerleading debut with the team Code Black at the weekend, performing as the back centre flyer in an adult coed competition.
Bill Belichick, the 73-year-old University of North Carolina football coach, was spotted supporting his partner from the sidelines, initially becoming the main talking point of the event. However, discourse quickly shifted to a peculiar move made by Hudson at the routine's conclusion.
The 'Crown' Gesture That Sparked Speculation
As the routine finished, Hudson, positioned once again in the back centre, placed her hands above her head in a cryptic signal that left fans speculating online. One keen observer on YouTube commented, 'She starts in the center back. Also ends in the thumbnail with her hands over her head like wearing a crown.'
The 24-year-old was the only member of her entire team to perform this specific gesture, ensuring it stood out and became a major topic on social media in the following days. While some users theorised about its meaning, others used the opportunity to critique the overall performance.
Mixed Reactions and a Viral Expression
Not all feedback was focused on the gesture. Some social media users were critical of Hudson's performance itself. One user on X wrote, 'So, she doesn't jump, tumble, no pyramids or dance, barely assists with spotting and encouragement, does the easiest partner stunts? Giving paid to play.' Another on YouTube added, 'Lmao… it was actually kind of sloppy….' as they critiqued the Code Black routine.
Meanwhile, Belichick, who was seen wearing a grey hoodie amongst other spectators, swiftly went viral for a different reason. A photo from the event captured him with a decidedly glum expression, prompting a wave of sarcastic comments online. One user on X joked, 'Blink twice if you need help Bill,' while another simply stated, 'He’s so mad.' A sarcastic post read, 'He seems stoked to be there.'
The cheerleading event came just one day after Belichick's UNC football team suffered their sixth defeat of the season against Wake Forest, a match where the coach was also accused of showing disrespect to a rival coach. Hudson has frequently attended North Carolina games to support Belichick this season, though their relationship has occasionally caused tension within his family, notably with his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Schmitt.
