Bill Belichick is standing by Jordon Hudson.
As the 24-year-old competed in the Miss Maine USA pageant in Portland, Maine May 11, the University of North Carolina head coach was there to support her.
In photos obtained by Page Six, the couple exited the Holiday Inn Portland-By The Bay—where the competition was held—hand-in-hand. Jordon still sported her sparkly purple evening gown, along with a white sash with her hometown, Hancock, written on it. The former college cheerleader scored second runner-up in the competition, per the Portland Press Herald, after previously earning first runner-up in 2024.
Meanwhile, Bill, 73, kept a low profile with his head down as he made his way through the parking garage with his girlfriend. The former NFL coach wore a simple black suit along with a maroon tie.
The couple were also photographed leaving the premises in Bill’s car, each with a smile on their face.
Bill and Jordon’s day out together comes shortly after the University of North Carolina shut down rumors that their football coach’s girlfriend was banned from the university’s sports facilities.
“She is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” the school said in a statement to E! News May 9. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”
And the couple were also embroiled in controversy last month when Bill issued a statement correcting how she was depicted in a CBS Mornings interview, during which she shut down a question about where the couple met.
“Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion,” Bill—who stated he had only agreed to speak about his book The Art of Winning — Lessons from My Life in Football—said in an April 30 statement. “She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.”
For her part, Jordon also subtly defended herself on social media, reposting a user’s reaction to the viral moment on X that read, “Imagine a private person wanting to keep their private life private. Shocking.”
