Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, will be competing against a transgender woman in a Maine beauty pageant next month, according to a report.
Hudson is looking to claim the crown of Miss Maine USA after placing as runner-up in last year’s competition — but will face a strong challenge in the form of Isabelle St. Cyr, who is set to become the first transgender individual to vie for the coveted state title.
“Starting pageants at 24 feels a bit like starting cheerleading when I was 14,” St. Cyr wrote in a statement on Facebook on Mar. 25.
“When I started cheerleading I had all the odds stacked against me. So much push back, so many people telling me it wasn’t a space for me,” the prospective contestant said.
A farm owner from Monson, Maine, St. Cyr said she’s not participating in the competition to make a political point, but for personal reasons.
“I’m just doing it because I love pageants and I just happen to be trans. I want to show everyone that trans women absolutely do this pageant and can do well,” she told Bangor Daily News.
For a chance at the Miss USA tiara, the pageant newbie will face off against Hudson, a fellow former cheerleader and the unofficial team mom of the University of North Carolina football team.
Hudson announced on Instagram that she will be partaking in the sash-bash, representing her hometown of Hancock, Maine, with her candidacy no doubt buoyed by her high-profile relationship with newly minted UNC Football head coach Belichick, 73.
The couple’s relationship recently made headlines when Hudson made an over-the-top intrusion on a UNC football practice, dressed in five-inch heels as she paraded around the gridiron.
On Wednesday, Hudson celebrated the birthday of her septuagenarian beau, referring to her boytoy — who is more than three times her age — as her “twin flame.”
The frisky senior citizen and his girlfriend celebrated their fourth “meetiversary” in February but have only been publicly dating since June 2024, less than a year after his split from longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday.
The Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss Maine USA competition, changed its rules in 2012 to allow transgender individuals to compete.
The Miss Maine pageant will take place in Portland on May 10 and 11. Contestants are set to be judged in an interview, evening wear, and a swimsuit competition.
St. Cyr said she’s prepared for the pushback her participation will generate.
“The negative backlash is inevitable when you’re a trans person pretty much doing anything in America,” she told the Portland Press Herald. “I think I will be able to handle it well and with grace and continue to represent for not just transgender women but women as a whole.”
