Bill Belichick's Girlfriend, 24, Turns Heads With Big News
Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson is set to compete in the 2025 Miss Maine beauty pageant.
"Happy International Pageant Day," she captioned an Instagram post on April 9. "I couldn't think of a better day to share with the world that I will be competing for Miss Maine USA 2025; representing my hometown Hancock."
Hudson, who posed in a green gown with a crown on her head and her "Miss Hancock" sash, hopes to be crowned Miss Maine — and would likely move on to compete in the Miss USA pageant from there.
Instagram users took to the comments section of Hudson's post to react.
"Let's goooooooo!! U got this," one person wrote.
"She's ready!! Let's go Jordon!!!" someone else said.
"Wow ... Amazing Job!!" a third comment read.
"Good luck!!" a fourth Instagram user added.
Hudson competed in the pageant in 2024 and was the first runner-up, losing the crown to Miss Casco Bay, Anne Baldridge. She will undoubtedly have the support of boyfriend Belichick, 72, who is gearing up for his first football season with UNC.
Back in January, Hudson attended the Miss USA event in Windsor, Connecticut. She shared some photos from the event on social media.
"Hats off to @jennahofmann & @daviana_mp , or shall I say @missctusa & @missctteenusa ; the first members of the @missusa Class of 2025. Connecticut is in heartfelt & honest hands #TisTheSeason," she captioned a post on Jan. 26.

David Beckham sends message to Trent Alexander-Arnold after Real Madrid unveiling
Former Real Madrid star David Beckham has on Friday sent a message the way of new Blancos recruit Trent Alexander-Arnold. This of course comes after the latter was at last unveiled as a Real Madrid player. Advertisement Alexander-Arnold put pen to paper on terms at the Santiago Bernabéu late last month, ahead of the expiration of his contract at Liverpool. The 26-year-old, though, was only officially presented in front of the media yesterday morning. This came after Alexander-Arnold was called up by Thomas Tuchel for England's international meetings with Andorra and Senegal. The right-back, on Thursday, was therefore full of smiles, after achieving what he considers a 'dream' move. Messages of congratulations and warm wishes of welcome have since come pouring in for Alexander-Arnold, from across the world of football. Advertisement And as alluded to above, on Friday, adding his name to this list of well-wishers was none other than David Beckham. Taking to the comments section of Alexander-Arnold's latest post on Instagram, ex-Real Madrid winger Beckham wrote: 'Congrats friend and welcome to a great club' Conor Laird – GSFN

How much did Drake make on the Dave's Hot Chicken deal?
Like Toronto rapper Drake, the founders of Dave's Hot Chicken started from the bottom. This month, they may have all cashed in together. On June 2, the high flying chicken chain, which counts the music superstar as an investor, sold a 70 per cent majority interest to private equity firm Roark Capital in a deal that reportedly valued Dave's at US$1 billion (the deal's exact terms weren't disclosed). Atlanta-based Roark is known for its portfolio of major restaurant brands including Subway, Arby's, Dunkin' Donuts, Baskin Robbins and Buffalo Wild Wings, among others. The sale capped a dramatic rise in the fortunes of childhood friends Arman Oganesyan, Dave Kopushyan, Tommy Rubenyan and Gary Rubenyan, who pooled US$900 together in 2017 to start a pop-up selling Nashville-style chicken out of a parking lot in Los Angeles. After six months of hour-long lineups thanks to word of mouth and social media buzz, the company started slinging its tenders, sliders, fries and kale slaw out of its first bricks-and-mortar store in an East Hollywood strip mall. Eight years later, franchising has helped Dave's Hot Chicken grow exponentially into 315 store locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Middle East. Along the way, the chicken chain has benefited from a cult following and a troop of celebrity investors including Drake, who bought his minority stake in 2021. There's no doubt Drake's hype and social media buzz — the rapper has 142 million Instagram followers — has played a part in Dave's Hot Chicken's meteoric ascent. For the last three years, the superstar has celebrated his birthday on Oct. 24 by sponsoring a free chicken giveaway at Dave's Hot Chicken locations in Toronto. The latest valuation also marks a big jump from Dave's Hot Chicken's first deal in 2019, when the four co-founders sold a 50 per cent stake in the business for $2 million to a group of investors led by Bill Phelps, who became the company's chief executive, and movie producer John Davis. The investor group included such celebrities as actor Samuel L. Jackson, journalist Maria Shriver, television host and former NFL player Michael Strahan and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner. The four co-founders reportedly split the remaining 50 per cent stake. At the time of the Roark Capital deal, Forbes reported that Phelps and Davis were the company's largest shareholders with 'roughly equal stakes' (though both declined to reveal exactly how much they owned). Each of the four co-founders owned around 10 per cent of the business and sold 80 per cent of their stakes, netting a cool US$80 million each (before taxes), according to Forbes. So, how much did Champagne Papi make off of the deal? Bloomberg reported that Drake was among the company's biggest investors when he bought his minority stake in 2021, but his exact ownership percentage and how much he paid for it has never been disclosed. If the founders owned a combined 40 per cent (10 per cent each) before the deal and Phelps and Davis were the biggest shareholders with roughly equal stakes, Drake would have to own less than 20 per cent of the chicken chain, with the likely total being much lower than that. With each percentage point worth a cool US$10 million, even a five per cent stake would be worth US$50 million. The Financial Post reached out to Dave's Hot Chicken for comment about whether Drake sold any of his shares as part of the deal, but did not receive a response. Dave's is not Drake's first foray into the food world, but it appears to be his most successful restaurant investment to date. The rapper has opened two Toronto eateries in the last decade: Frings, a venture with chef Susur Lee and his sons that opened in 2015 and closed three years later, and Pick 6ix, a sports bar that opened in early 2018 and closed by the end of 2019. 'I tried the food and it was amazing': Drake buys stake in Dave's Hot Chicken chain Tim Hortons partners with actor Ryan Reynolds on breakfast boxes The rapper has also reportedly invested in green tea retailer MatchaBar and plant-based chicken company Daring Foods Inc. (the same year he bought his stake in Dave's) and collaborated with U.S. entrepreneur Brent Hocking to launch his own whiskey brand (Virginia Black) and champagne (Mod Sélection). • Email: jswitzer@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
