The College Football Playoff National Championship took center stage Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, bringing together elite athletes, coaches, and celebrities for the 2025 season finale.
The undefeated Indiana Hoosiers squared off against the Miami Hurricanes in a highly anticipated matchup that captivated a national audience. Indiana emerged victorious with a 27–21 win, securing the program’s first-ever national championship.
Off the field, attention turned to the suites, where Jordon Hudson and social media influencer Alix Earle were photographed together during the game. Hudson later shared the image on her Instagram Story with the caption, “Friend from an alternate timeline.”
Hudson is the girlfriend of University of North Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick. Belichick attended the championship and appeared on ESPN’s College GameDay ahead of kickoff, though he was not seen in the suite photo.
Earle, a University of Miami graduate from the Class of 2023, attended the game with college friends after tailgating, as shown in a separate TikTok she posted. Former NFL quarterback and Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady was also in attendance, joining Raiders majority owner Mark Davis.
The trip offered Brady a chance to scout Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, widely projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Brady’s presence drew added attention after Earle was recently spotted getting close to him at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts.

The star-studded suite also featured several high-profile guests, including LSU gymnast and social media star Livvy Dunne, MLB pitcher Paul Skenes, and Rüfüs Du Sol members Jon George and John Summit. Photos and videos from inside the suite were shared by hospitality and nightlife mogul Dave Grutman, with one clip showing Earle dancing and celebrating during the game.
The image of Hudson and Earle quickly caught fans’ attention online, sparking widespread speculation about potential connections involving Hudson, Earle, Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick. Despite the buzz, no interactions between Brady and Belichick were reported at the event, and neither addressed the online chatter.
