Bill Belichick’s public support for Jordon Hudson
In a rare public appearance, NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick was spotted at the 2025 Miss Maine pageant, showing his unwavering support for his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. The event took place at the Holiday Inn in Portland, Maine, where Belichick, 73, was seen arriving to cheer on Hudson, 24, who was competing for the title representing her hometown of Hancock.
Jordon Hudson’s pageant journey
Hudson, who describes herself as the “daughter of Maine fishermen,” made a striking impression at the pageant. Dressed in a stunning blue off-the-shoulder dress and stylish stilettos, she radiated confidence as she waved to spectators after completing the interview portion of the competition.
An insider noted that Hudson was in good spirits, despite the pressures of the event. “She’s very headstrong,” the source remarked, highlighting Hudson’s determination and resilience.
Competing in various segments including the interview, swimsuit, and evening gown portions, Hudson has been preparing for this moment for quite some time.
She announced her participation in the pageant last month on Instagram, expressing her excitement and pride in representing Hancock. “Happy International Pageant Day. I couldn’t think of a better day to share with the world that I will be competing for Miss Maine USA 2025,” she wrote, showcasing her enthusiasm for the competition.
Facing scrutiny and support
Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Hudson has faced her share of scrutiny, particularly after an awkward moment during a CBS interview with Belichick. When asked about their relationship, Hudson interrupted, leading to mixed reactions from the public.
Belichick defended her actions, stating she was merely trying to keep the interview on track. However, the incident raised eyebrows and led to Hudson reportedly being barred from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football facility, where Belichick coaches.
According to sportswriter Pablo Torre, the decision to restrict Hudson’s access was made by university officials due to concerns about her impact on Belichick’s legacy and reputation. Sources close to the situation indicated that Belichick’s family members are worried about the potential fallout from their relationship, emphasizing the delicate balance between personal life and professional obligations.
As Hudson continues to navigate the challenges of the pageant world and her relationship with one of football’s most iconic figures, her journey serves as a reminder of the complexities young women face in the public eye. With Belichick by her side, Hudson is determined to shine, both on stage and in her personal life.
