Jordon Hudson is brushing off the backlash and embracing the spotlight—literally. The 24-year-old beauty queen and girlfriend of legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick appeared radiant and confident at the Miss Maine pageant in Portland, Maine, where she turned heads in a figure-hugging baby blue mini dress.
Photos obtained by the New York Post captured Hudson flashing a warm smile and waving to cameras while flaunting her long legs in the eye-catching dress, which ended high on her thighs. Her glamorous appearance comes amid a storm of criticism she’s received in recent weeks regarding her relationship with the former New England Patriots coach.
Falling Behind in the People’s Choice Vote
Despite the glitzy appearance, Jordon’s not currently leading in the People’s Choice portion of the Miss Maine contest. As of this morning, she had received just 201 votes, placing her far behind several of her fellow contestants. The winner of the People’s Choice award earns a direct slot in the pageant semifinals, meaning Hudson may have to take the longer route if she hopes to win the crown.
Still, her spirits didn’t appear dampened. The young pageant hopeful remained upbeat, confident, and camera-ready—showing no outward signs of being affected by the criticism that’s been swirling around her online and even from within Bill Belichick’s own inner circle.
Public Scrutiny and Belichick Interview Controversy
Hudson has faced increasing public scrutiny since her surprise interruption of Bill Belichick’s appearance on CBS Sunday Morning. During the interview, she stepped in and told the interviewer that the coach wouldn’t be answering a question about how the two met—an incident that sparked backlash and curiosity alike.
Some fans—and even members of Belichick’s family—have voiced disapproval or skepticism about Hudson’s role in the coach’s life, questioning the nature and seriousness of their relationship.
But despite the online commentary and controversy, Jordon appears determined to stay focused on her pageant goals and public appearances. Her poised performance at Miss Maine is a clear sign she’s not letting the noise shake her.
Conclusion: Still in the Running
While Jordon Hudson may not be dominating the People’s Choice vote just yet, she remains a strong contender in the overall Miss Maine 2025 competition. With her poise under pressure, striking appearance, and a growing media spotlight, all eyes will be on how far she can go in the pageant—and how she continues to handle the challenges of sudden fame.
