Bill Belichick is supporting girlfriend Jordon Hudson as she competes in the Miss Maine USA beauty pageant. Hudson, 24, was spotted among the 16 other Miss Maine competitors in a green snakeskin pantsuit on Saturday, May 10, at the Holiday Inn in Portland, Maine, per Page Six. According to People, Belichick, 73, attended the pageant's preliminary rounds. The former cheerleader accessorized her green outfit with gold platform heels, a silver necklace and matching earrings and, of course, her Hancock sash to represent her hometown. Hudson is expected to make an appearance in the interview, evening gown and swimsuit portions of the competition. She is currently in seventh place in the pageant's online voting system, though she placed second in the 2024 pageant.

Hudson announced she would be competing for the Miss Maine 2025 title last month. 'Happy International Pageant Day👑✨,' Hudson wrote via Instagram on April 10. '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. 🫶🏼💜[insert mussel shell emoji]. For full event details, go to Hudson's participation in the Miss Maine pageant comes just one day after The University of North Carolina — of which Belichick is head coach of the football team — addressed rumors that she had been banned from the university's football facilities. 'While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,' Carolina Athletics said in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, May 9. 'Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.' Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 24, Is Obsessed With Seagulls Journalist Pablo Torre had reported on his podcast 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' earlier that day that Hudson was 'no longer allowed in the football building, she is not allowed on the football field.' A source at the school reportedly told Torre, 'I don't think you'll be hearing much from Jordon moving forward.' Earlier this month, Hudson drew criticism for her behavior during Belichick's sit-down interview with CBS Sunday Morning. When journalist Tony Dokoupil asked Belichick how he and Hudson met, she interjected off-camera, saying, 'We're not talking about this.' Belichick defended her in a statement days later. 'I was surprised when unrelated topics were introduced, and I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I preferred to keep that conversation centered on the book,' Belichick said in a statement released by the University of North Carolina on April 30. 'After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion.' CBS responded to Belichick's statement by saying there had been 'no preconditions or limitations to this conversation' before the interview. 'This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed,' a CBS spokesperson said on April 30.

Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson finishes third in Miss Maine USA pageant
Jordon Hudson , best known to many as the 24-year-old girlfriend of NFL legend Bill Belichick, is carving her own path in the spotlight — and it has nothing to do with football. Over the weekend, Hudson stood tall in the Miss Maine USA 2025 pageant, walking away not only as the second runner-up but also with the 'Most Stylish' award, proving that she's more than just the partner of a Super Bowl-winning coach. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With Bill Belichick in the front row, Jordon Hudson shines and finishes third at Miss Maine USA The two-day competition, held on May 10 and 11 in Portland, Maine, brought together 17 contestants from across the state. Representing her hometown of Hancock, Hudson competed in three major categories: interview, swimsuit, and evening gown. While Shelby Howell of Bangor took home the crown, Hudson turned heads with her poise, advocacy, and style — even rocking a Taylor Swift–inspired snakeskin set that contributed to her style win. What made the event even more special was the presence of Bill Belichick himself. The 73-year-old coaching legend sat in the front row, proudly watching Hudson through each round. According to reports, he was seen alongside Hudson's father, Heath Hudson, 52, during the preliminary rounds, and he returned the next day to support her through the finals — this time from a seat in the crowd at a Holiday Inn ballroom. For once, it was Belichick cheering from the sidelines, and fans loved every moment of it. During the Q&A portion of the competition, Hudson offered a heartfelt response when asked which moment of her life she would relive. 'I would go back to the days when I was on my family's fishing boat in Hancock, Maine,' she said. She didn't stop there, using the platform to shine a light on an issue close to her heart. 'I think about this very often because there's a mass exodus in the rural areas of Maine, and I don't want to see more fishermen displaced. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As your next Miss Maine USA, I would make it a point to go into the communities, to go to the legislator and go to the government to advocate for these people so they don't to think about these memories as a past moment.' It was clear that Hudson came into the pageant not just to win a crown but to champion causes that matter deeply to her. 'I'm feeling an immense amount of pride right now,' she said onstage. 'I'm hoping anyone who's watching this finds the strength to push through whatever it is they are going through and embodies that hate never wins.' But Hudson's journey is not confined to pageants. Outside the glitz and glamour, she is a landlord and a passionate advocate for fishermen in her home state. She's also taken on a professional role in managing Belichick's personal brand — a relationship that UNC, where Belichick currently coaches, described as both personal and professional. Their dynamic captured headlines recently when Hudson briefly interrupted a CBS News interview featuring Belichick. 'We're not talking about this,' she said, shutting down a question about their relationship. Belichick later clarified, 'She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.' Now that the pageant has wrapped up, it's safe to say the couple might have a little downtime — unless, of course, they decide to take on another project together. A reality show, perhaps? Whatever comes next, one thing is clear: Jordon Hudson is no sidekick. She's building her own legacy — and doing it with style. Also Read:

Jordon Hudson places second runner-up in Miss Maine USA pageant with Bill Belichick in front row
Jordon Hudson, girlfriend of former NFL football coach Bill Belichick, placed second runner-up in the Miss Maine USA pageant over the weekend. With Belichick, 73, in the front row, Hudson, 24, competed in the two-day pageant — which was held in Portland, Maine, on Saturday and Sunday — for the second year in a row. In 2024, she placed first runner-p. Shelby Howell of Bangor won Miss Maine USA 2025. Hudson was representing her hometown of Hancock in the state pageant, which features three different areas of competition: interview, swimsuit and evening gown. The winner of Miss Maine USA advances to the Miss USA competition. During the contest, Hudson was awarded 'Most Stylish' and finished among the top three. 'I'm feeling an immense amount of pride right,' Hudson said during the question portion of the event. 'I'm hoping anyone who's watching this finds the strength to push through whatever it is they are going through and embodies that hate never wins.' Hudson was asked: 'If you could relive one moment in your life, what would it be and why?' She answered, 'I would go back to the days when I was on my family's fishing boat in Hancock, Maine.' 'I think about this very often because there's a mass exodus in the rural areas of Maine, and I don't want to see more fishermen displaced,' she said. 'As your next Miss Maine USA, I would make it a point to go into the communities, to go to the legislator and go to the government to advocate for these people so they don't to think about these memories as a past moment.' Hudson has been in the spotlight due to her public relationship with Belichick, the current head football coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They met in 2021 on a flight, and now, in addition to maintaining a 'personal relationship,' she manages Belichick's 'personal brand,' UNC has said. Seemingly in that capacity, Hudson recently made headlines for interrupting an interview Belichick sat for with CBS News' 'Sunday Morning,' which aired April 27. When asked how he and Hudson met, she was shown on camera interjecting with, 'We're not talking about this.' Belichick defended Hudson in a statement: 'She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.' Then just days before the start of Miss Maine USA, it was reported that Hudson was banned from UNC's football facilities, which the university refuted. 'While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,' Carolina Athletics said in a statement. 'Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.'
