Jordon Hudson Shines at Miss Maine Pageant Despite Close Finish
This weekend marked a notable event for Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of renowned NFL coach Bill Belichick. Competing in the Miss Maine pageant, Hudson, representing her hometown of Hancock, secured a remarkable yet challenging second runner-up position.
Competition Highlights
The two-day event saw Hudson put forth an impressive effort, particularly during the preliminary rounds where she was awarded the “style” accolade. Following her strong performance, she advanced to the top 10 on Sunday and later made it into the final five contestants.
Ultimately, Hudson’s journey culminated with Shelby Howell from Bangor taking home the title. A moment captured on social media showing Hudson with a disappointed expression as Howell was crowned sparked conversation online.

Emotional Reflections
Despite the outcome, Hudson expressed her pride in her performance during the interview segment of the contest. “I’m feeling an immense amount of pride right now,” she stated. “I hope anyone who’s watching this finds the strength to push through whatever it is that they’re going through, and embodies that hate never wins.”
Bill Belichick’s Support
Belichick, who is gearing up for his inaugural season as head coach at the University of North Carolina, attended both days of the competition, showcasing his support for Hudson. The couple has been together since 2023, having first met during a flight in 2021.
Media Attention and Controversies
The couple came under the media spotlight following a contentious CBS News interview last month, where Hudson notably interrupted a question regarding their meeting. “We’re not talking about that,” she remarked, highlighting her discomfort with the topic.
In the aftermath of this portrayal, rumors have circulated regarding Hudson’s access to UNC’s football facilities. The university denied these claims, asserting that Hudson is not an employee but is welcome at the football facilities and is actively involved in managing aspects of Belichick’s personal brand.
Conclusion
While Hudson may not have clinched the title this year, her journey through the Miss Maine pageant showcased her resilience and dedication. As she continues to navigate the challenges of public life alongside a high-profile partner, her future endeavors remain highly anticipated.
