Bill Belichick Supports Girlfriend Jordon Hudson at Miss Maine Pageant Amid Facility Ban Denial

Jordon Hudson, girlfriend of NFL coach Bill Belichick, competed in the Miss Maine USA 2025 pageant representing her hometown of Hancock amid ongoing public scrutiny of their relationship. Despite being the most well-known contestant, Hudson ranked seventh in online voting, trailing behind other contestants including the leader Lexi Bjork and Isabelle St. Cyr, the first transgender woman competing in Miss Maine. Hudson, a former collegiate cheerleading champion and previous pageant runner-up, participated in the evening gown, interview, and swimsuit categories during the competition. The relationship between Hudson and Belichick, who is 49 years her senior, has drawn criticism, including concerns from Belichick's family and controversy following a widely publicized CBS interview where Hudson interrupted on Belichick's behalf. There were also reports—later denied by UNC—that Hudson was banned from the university's football facilities where Belichick coaches, highlighting the tensions surrounding her role. While Belichick was seen supporting Hudson during preliminary rounds, he was notably absent from some events, and Hudson faced social media backlash but remained determined in her pageant bid.
