Bill Belichick's Girlfriend Reacts to Losing Miss Maine USA Pageant
Jordon Hudson, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, gave it a good run at the Miss Maine pageant this weekend, but ultimately came up short.
Hudson, 24, who was the runner-up for Miss Maine in 2024, finished second runner-up this time around. She was representing her hometown of Hancock.
Shelby Howell of Bangor took home the title at the two-day event. Hudson won the "style" award during the preliminaries on Saturday and advanced to the top 10 Sunday before eventually moving on to the final five.
In the end, she came up short. On Sunday afternoon, a photo of Hudson wearing a "sour" look on her face as Howell was crowned began circulating on social media.

We're not sure Hudson was "angry" about not winning, but after coming so close last year, we're sure she was disappointed to not go all the way this time around.
“I’m feeling an immense amount of pride right now,” Hudson said during the interview portion of the contest Sunday. “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.”
Belichick, 73, who is heading into his first season as head coach at UNC, was in attendance for both days of the competition. The pair have been together since 2023 after reportedly meeting on a flight in 2021.
The subject of how they first met became a sticking point during last month's infamous CBS News interview, which Hudson interrupted when she didn't care for reporter Tony Dokoupil asking about their origin story.
“We’re not talking about that,” Hudson told Dokoupil.
While that moment was included in the CBS broadcast and went viral as a result, it was reportedly not the only time Hudson intervened in the interview.
Belichick and Hudson's relationship has come under increased scrutiny in the weeks following the interview. On Friday, Meadowlark Media's Pablo Torre reported that Hudson had been banned from the UNC football facilities, which the school denies.
"While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities," the school 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."
