Jordon Hudson: Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Has Been Telling People that the Two Are Engaged
Are Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick getting married? Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has told at least one person that the two are engaged, according to a bombshell report published by The Athletic on Tuesday. The report didn't provide any further detail about a possible wedding. However, it explored the drama surrounding the 73-year-old UNC coach and Hudson, a former cheerleader from Bridgewater State University, who have been the talk fo the town. The report comes after Hudson sparked engagement speculation after was seen wearing a ring on her left ring finger during a luncheon with Belichick at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City last month. Wedding Bells for Hudson "I think it's ironic that a man who really controlled everything — and I mean everything — now is being controlled by some other person," Upton Bell, a former general manager of the Patriots, told the outlet. "You can't just point at the woman here and say, 'She is being controlling.' That only happens if you let yourself be controlled." News of Belichick and Hudson's romance first made headlines last June — five months after he parted ways with the Patriots in January, ending a 24-year run that included six Super Bowl titles. The couple found themselves in the spotlight after Belichick's awkward appearance on CBS Sunday Morning on April 17, where Hudson was seen interrupting him as he was asked how they met. Since then, several reports have surfaced claiming that Hudson is trying to influence Belichick's professional decisions both on and off the field. Belichick was also spotted last week cheering for Hudson as she participated Miss Maine USA beauty pageant. The former cheerleader was the main attraction of the pageant this year following the controversy but failed to win the crown, as she finished in third place. No End to Their Love Hudson and Belichick made a swift exit soon after the results were announced, with the former cheerleader trying to put on a brave face and smile as they drove away from the hotel. However, she couldn't hide the disappointment. Hudson held tightly onto the hand of Belichick as they were quietly led out of the building through a private garage, accompanied by their bodyguard. Hudson came in second in the contest last year. Belichick showed no emotion as they made their way through the underground parking area, while the brunette maintained her poise, striking confident poses and waving at the camera. After the pageant ended, Hudson kept her head down backstage, while their bodyguard fended off reporters eager to ask questions. Belichick was the longtime head coach of the New England Patriots, the NFL team based in Massachusetts. Earlier in the pageant, Hudson missed out on being crowned Miss Congeniality before the semi-finals, but advanced after taking home the style award. Shelby Powell of Bangor took the crown and will go on to represent Maine in the upcoming Miss USA contest.

Woman Has Surgeon Fiance, Puts Him To Unlikely Task
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman is leveraging her fiance's surgeon skills for a dexterous, but nonmedical, operation: taking down her braids. Autumn Black recently shared a lighthearted glimpse into one of the unique ways her surgeon fiance, Josh Miller, lends a helping hand by efficiently taking down her braided hairstyles. A TikTok video she posted shows Miller, a medical resident, undoing Autumn's braids with a speed that has impressed thousands. Black, 26, told Newsweek about how she made the delightful discovery and her hopes for married life. "Having my surgeon fiance take my braids down because he can undo seven of them by the time I've done two," Black captioned the video.

"As a Black woman, it's kind of the norm for your partner, friends or family to help take down your protective styles," she said. "It once took me eight hours to take out my braids by myself before we were dating. The first time I had braids while we were dating, I thought it'd be helpful to have another pair of hands." The results were immediate and impressive—with his help, all of her braids were out in one hour. "I sure didn't expect the speed, but it makes sense given his experience with suturing and finger dexterity in surgeries," she said. "Ever since that moment three years ago, he's helped me take my braids down whenever it's time for my next style." For Black and Miller, this act is just one example of their mutual support and connection. Black said their ambition in their passions brought them together. "From him supporting me on the Miss USA stage and in my corporate career, to me supporting him in medical school and now in his medical residency, taking down hair is just one example of the many ways that we show support for one another throughout the years," Black said. The couple's journey together is marked by their shared ambitions and milestones—which will only continue as they enter the next phase of their relationship. "We got engaged in October 2024," Black said. "Since then, life together just keeps getting sweeter. We're excited to get married back where our story started in Kansas City in October 2026." While his surgical skills are typically reserved for the operating room, Miller's ability to quickly and delicately assist with Black's hair-care task has become a cherished part of their relationship.

Jordon Hudson Still 'Really Wants' Miss Maine USA Crown Despite Pageant Upset (Exclusive Source)
Jordon Hudson placed third at this year's Miss Maine USA pageant, one notch lower than she placed at the same statewide event in 2024 The contestant, 24, was supported by her boyfriend Bill Belichick, who attended the preliminary round on May 10 and the finals on May 11 Shortly after the winner was crowned, a source told PEOPLE that the crown is "something that [Hudson] really wants," and she could very well return to the competition for a third time next yearJordon Hudson might've fallen short of the crown at this year's Miss Maine USA pageant, but that doesn't mean she's taking off her sash for good. Shortly after the former cheerleader, 24, placed third at the statewide event — coming in behind winner Shelby Howell and runner-up Mara Carpenter — a source tells PEOPLE that Hudson could very well return to the competition in the future. "Knowing Jordan, this is something that she really wants. So if it's something that she wants to work towards in the future, she'll do it again, and she'll come back even stronger," the insider says of Hudson, who is dating former NFL coach Bill Belichick, 73. Her recent appearance at Miss Maine USA — which took place on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11 — follows her participation in the same pageant last year. Hudson came in second place in 2024, but the source adds that her lesser result won't necessarily deter her. In fact, it might have the opposite effect. "For some girls, a lower placement gets them more excited to come back and to prove themselves," the source tells PEOPLE. "What a lot of people say is, 'Different day, different judges, different rankings.' We can do this all over again with five new judges and it could be a completely different outcome." While she didn't leave as a winner — which would've automatically put her in the running for the national Miss USA pageant — Hudson did nab the style award this year. And the contestant, who was representing the town of Hancock, also had the support of her boyfriend throughout both the preliminary and final rounds of the competition. Belichick was seated in the front row on both days, and after the results were finalized on Sunday, the couple left the Portland Holiday Inn venue together, hand in hand. Hudson made her exit in the same sparkling purple evening gown she wore on stage. Her other pageant looks included a gold mini dress and a shimmery teal bikini with heels.

Trans Miss Maine beauty pageant contestant reveals encounter with Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson
Bill Belichick 's girlfriend Jordon Hudson had an encounter backstage with the transgender contestant she was competing against in the Miss USA Maine pageant. The 24-year-old Hudson, who finished as the first runner-up in last year's competition and is the subject of intense media scrutiny due to her ties to the famous Super Bowl-winning coach, competed against trans contestant Isabelle St. Cyr. St. Cyr, also 24, became the first openly trans competitor in the event's history after being crowned the winner of Miss Monson, the pageant in her Maine town. The pair each finished in the top ten, with Hudson coming in third place before she and Belichick were spotted walking out of the pageant with a sour look on the North Carolina coach's face. Hudson and St. Cyr apparently had a brief meeting of the minds and according to St. Cyr, they bonded over their shared media scrutiny. 'We had a conversation backstage and we were like, 'You know, the media hasn't necessarily been kind to us.' We just kind of talked about how we've dealt with it, how to move forward, how to remain positive and when to comment and not to comment,' she told People. St. Cyr, who like Hudson was semifinalist but didn't win the competition, added that Hudson was gracious when talking about dealing with the press. 'I really appreciate her willingness to talk to me about the media coverage,' St. Cyr said. The transgender pageant contestant was worried about being pitted against Hudson by the media, admitting: 'that's how people get clicks.' However, St. Cyr confirmed that 'there was no bad blood' between the competitors - who had never met before the contest - and if anything, the meeting with Hudson was beneficial. 'It definitely made us both a lot more comfortable going into the pageant that night,' she said. Hudson advised St. Cyr to do her homework before she spoke with the media and to find out 'who's doing these articles and when you should be commenting.' Overall, the vibes between the pair were supporting and neither was willing to make a public spectacle of the other. 'I think we both wanted to make it clear that we had nothing to do with it and that we were just happy to be competing. So I was very thankful for that.' St. Cyr said that Hudson understood 'that a lot of backlash' was drawn by both of them. 'We showed up and competed and we both made it to the second day,' she said of the pageant itself. 'So I think that that shows a lot of what you can do when you don't let negativity step in front of you and your dream.' St. Cyr only added media scrutiny to the contest after it was announced she would be competing. 'When I started cheerleading I had all the odds stacked against me. So much pushback, so many people telling me it wasn't a space for me,' St. Cyr wrote in a Facebook post on March 25. 'But I fought for what I loved and I ended up being a very successful cheerleader, winning state and national titles and inspiring people to join even if they hadn't been doing it their whole life. 'I sense a similar trajectory in my ongoing journey with pageants. I believe I have everything it takes to be Miss Maine USA and I know that no amount of experience can match a true passion and drive to accomplish something.' It comes with Donald Trump's administration locked in a legal battle with the woke state over its failure to comply with the government's push to ban transgender athletes in girls and women's sports. St. Cyr told Maine's Total Coverage that she had already entered the pageant before Trump took office. Shelby Howell was declared the winner of Miss Maine USA, with Mara Carpenter also finishing ahead of Hudson. St. Cyr only added media scrutiny to the contest after it was announced she would be competing Hudson and Belichick made a swift exit after she failed to win – with the former cheerleader putting on a brave face and smiling as they pulled away from the hotel. She was still in her purple evening gown and Hancock sash as she clutched the hand of her lover as they were escorted out of the property from a secluded garage with their bodyguard. Belichick remained expressionless as they walked the short distance in the underground car park, with the brunette continuing to strut her stuff and wave at the camera. He was seen scowling at her behind the wheel of the car as she pointed at her bedazzled bag again as they pulled away in the 2025 Mercedes Benz GLE 580, worth $89,200. However, they both grinned as they waved at their bodyguard for the weekend, flashing peace signs as Bill drove them away from the event. Jordon declined any interviews, but was quick to thank those who told her that she looked incredible in the purple floor length gown with a slit, paired with silver heels. It comes after she placed second runner-up (third) in the contest – one place lower than she was in 2024. Her older beau was pictured with her father, Heath, 52, for the first time since their relationship became public. Before the final placing was announced, she gave an emotional speech in front of her father and Belichick, saying 'hate never wins'. The eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Belichick was escorted in by security before shaking hands with Heath Hudson, 52, and smiling at him ahead of the pageant getting started. Heath was also escorted to the front row seats by the former Navy veteran for the second day of the event, hoping to see his daughter, 24, don the winners tiara. Jordon was, however, awarded the Style award by the judges with Belichick and her father watching on. It comes after fans questions if Hudson's parents supported the relationship, despite having an age gap of around 12 years themselves. But the pair were seen happily chatting ahead of Hudson strutting her stuff on the stage, with sources confirming Bill has visited her childhood home in Hancock previously. Despite a special segment of the show dedicated to Mothers Day, Hudson was the only contestant not to record a message for her mother. Hudson's smiling display at the Miss Maine contest comes less than 24 hours after revealed that she almost quit the contest before it had even begun, amid a backlash against her relationship with Belichick. Sources close to the 'headstrong' 24-year-old cheerleader revealed that she had been thinking about dropping out after the disastrous CBS interview aired of her interrupting on behalf of 49-years-older beau.
