Bill Belichick showed his support for his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, at the 2025 Miss Maine pageant on Saturday.
“Coach is here,” an insider told The Post after seeing the legendary NFL coach, 73, arrive at the Holiday Inn in Portland, Maine.
We’re told Hudson, 24, appeared in good spirits while waving to spectators, as she left the interview portion of the pageant donning a blue off-the-shoulder dress and stilettos.
“She’s very headstrong,” an insider said.
“She’s a tough cookie but a lot of people are angry because of the whole Bill situation,” the source continued, referring to how Hudson has come under fire for dating someone 49 years her senior.
“Nobody has spoken with her [until today],” the insider added. “She probably was told to lay low and not say anything. I feel bad for her.”
Hudson, who describes herself as the “daughter of Maine fishermen,” is representing Hancock, her hometown, in Saturday’s competition.
She is competing in the interview, swimsuit and evening gown portions of the event.
In the early afternoon, the Bridgewater State University alum was seen walking through the venue in a green snakeskin pantsuit.
Hudson announced she was going to be competing in the pageant last month.
“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; representing my hometown, Hancock,” she wrote via Instagram.
Hudson, meanwhile, has since come under scrutiny after she awkwardly interrupted Belichick’s CBS interview when the latter was asked about their relationship.
Belichick defended Hudson against the critics, claiming she was “simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.”
Hudson, however, was later reportedly barred from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football facility, where Belichick coaches.
The decision was allegedly made by university higher-ups earlier this month, according to sportswriter Pablo Torre.
Torre claimed that Belichick’s family members are “extraordinarily concerned about what has transpired” between him and Hudson.
“There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades,” the journalist alleged that a source told him.
The couple took their romance public in 2024 after meeting on a plane ride three years prior.
