Emerging beauty queen and accomplished recent college graduate Jordon Hudson is ambitiously pursuing the prestigious title of Miss Maine USA 2025, but some critics are suggesting that she may have a legendary football coach assisting her behind the scenes.
Hudson, who is the 24-year-old girlfriend of Bill Belichick, has announced her intention to compete in the state beauty pageant shortly after revealing the significant 48-year age difference between herself and the former coach of the New England Patriots. This revelation has sparked considerable public interest and debate.
The former cheerleader from Bridgewater State University, who was the first runner-up in last year’s pageant, expressed her excitement about representing her hometown of Hancock on the state pageant stage. Her aspirations were shared in a heartfelt announcement that showcased her commitment to the competition.

This age difference has sparked much discussion among fans and critics alike.
Hudson took to Instagram to unveil her plans, posting a captivating photograph of herself wearing a crown and a Miss Hancock USA sash. This visual representation of her commitment to the pageant serves to inspire her followers and highlights her dedication to achieving her goals.
“Happy International Pageant Day! I couldn’t think of a better occasion to announce my participation in the Miss Maine USA 2025 competition, proudly representing my hometown of Hancock,” she joyfully wrote in her post, inviting her audience to share in her excitement.
Hancock, known for its picturesque coastal views, boasts a modest population of just 2,466 residents as recorded in the 2020 census, making Hudson’s representation of this small town even more significant in the context of the larger state pageant.

Another commenter humorously noted, “Her grandpa will pay for her to win,” underscoring the ongoing speculation regarding the influence and resources that Belichick’s status might contribute to Hudson’s journey in the pageant world.
The former cheerleader has been actively sharing her pageant training preparations on social media, including a recent mirror selfie in a striking green bikini paired with silver heels, which showcases her commitment to the rigorous training that goes into competing for a beauty title, as reported by the New York Post.
If Hudson succeeds in her quest for the Miss Maine crown, she stands to advance to the prestigious Miss USA 2025 competition, which could significantly elevate her profile beyond the local pageant circuit and introduce her to a broader audience.
Despite the excitement, critics have been quick to suggest alternative motives behind Hudson’s relationship with Belichick, questioning whether her aspirations are aligned with a genuine passion for pageantry or if they are strategically aimed at enhancing her personal brand.
One skeptic remarked, “I think this move is an attempt to help build ‘her brand.’ She is undoubtedly beautiful, but does she genuinely want to spend an entire year making appearances across Maine? This title could complicate her current glamorous lifestyle,” highlighting the complexities of balancing personal ambitions with public expectations.
Adding to the discourse, another commenter sarcastically observed, “I bet there are no other contestants who have on their list of accomplishments that she has been romantically involved with a wealthy and seasoned individual,” drawing attention to the implications of her high-profile relationship.
Despite the scrutiny, Hudson and Belichick have made efforts to portray their relationship as genuine and meaningful. According to the New York Post, the couple met under unusual circumstances on a flight in 2021, where Belichick signed her “Deductive Logic” textbook, marking the beginning of their unexpected romance.
Since that initial meeting, the couple has become increasingly public about their relationship, with Hudson often sharing glimpses of their life together on her social media platforms, allowing fans to connect with them on a personal level.
The couple’s May-December romance has garnered significant media attention since they went public with their relationship last June, although they reportedly began dating three years prior. Their public appearances, including walking the red carpet together at the NFL Honors during Super Bowl week and featuring in a Dunkin’ commercial, have sparked engagement rumors, particularly after Hudson was seen wearing what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand during these events.
Hudson has shared anecdotes about their surprising shared interests, particularly their mutual affection for nature and seagulls. In one Instagram post, she expressed, “Never in my life did I think I would come across somebody who loved sky rats and the Great State of Maine as much as I did, but alas, here we are,” showcasing a playful side of their relationship as they bond over their love for the environment.
In response to critics focusing on their significant age difference, Hudson has directly addressed the public sentiment. In a heartfelt Valentine’s Day post, she emphasized, “We do not need to justify ‘why’ we love a particular person,” dismissing the idea that love is tied to physical appearances or financial status, and asserting that “love is not to be judged,” highlighting her commitment to defending her relationship.
Belichick has embraced this new chapter in his life following his departure from the New England Patriots, where he celebrated an impressive six Super Bowl victories. Now serving in a coaching role at the University of North Carolina, he recently invited Hudson to the UNC practice facility, where she had the opportunity to meet rapper Lil Wayne, an experience she described as a “bucket list item,” showcasing the exciting aspects of their life together.
The preliminary show for Miss Maine USA is set for May 10, 2025, with the final competition following the next day. As Hudson gears up for her second attempt at winning the coveted crown, the ongoing controversy surrounding her connection to one of football’s most celebrated coaches continues to cast a shadow over her pageant ambitions—whether this heightened media attention will aid or obstruct her aspirations remains to be determined.
