Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson faces transgender hell as she’s dragged into Trump battle
Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson will compete against a transgender woman in a female beauty pageant in Maine next month.
The 24-year-old, who finished as the first runner-up in last year’s competition, finally announced last week that she would be taking part again.
But the competition has descended into chaos after it emerged one of her rivals will be a biological male – Isabelle St. Cyr.
The model will become the first openly trans competitor in the event’s history after being crowned the winner of Miss Monson, the pageant in her Maine town.
‘When I started cheerleading I had all the odds stacked against me. So much pushback, so many people telling me it wasn’t a space for me,’ St. Cyr wrote in a Facebook post on March 25.
‘But I fought for what I loved and I ended up being a very successful cheerleader, winning state and national titles and inspiring people to join even if they hadn’t been doing it their whole life.

‘I sense a similar trajectory in my ongoing journey with pageants. I believe I have everything it takes to be Miss Maine USA and I know that no amount of experience can match a true passion and drive to accomplish something.’
It comes with Donald Trump’s administration locked in a legal battle with the woke state over its failure to comply with the government’s push to ban transgender athletes in girls and women’s sports.
St. Cyr told Maine’s Total Coverage on Tuesday that she had already entered the pageant before Trump took office.
Belichick is known to be a Trump supporter and even wrote him a letter during the 2016 election cycle.
Then coach of the NFL’s New England Patriots, the 73-year-old penned the note which Trump later read out at a rally in New Hampshire.
Trump also named Belichick to his Council on Sports during his first presidency and planned to present the UNC coach with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. However, Belichick declined in the wake of the January 6 riots at the US Capitol.
Hudson, a former cheerleader, confirmed her participation in Miss Maine just days after revealing her real age – which confirmed a 48 year age gap between her and Belichick.
Posting a photograph of herself dressed to the nines in a crown and a Miss Hancock USA sash on her Instagram, she said: ‘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.’
Her tiny hometown on Taunton Bay has a population of just 2,466 according to the 2020 census.

Fans were quick to speculate that Belichick would be supporting his girlfriend behind the scenes, after previous reports showed him backstage at her cheerleading competitions when they first started dating.
Hudson could go on to compete in Miss USA 2025 if she wins the Miss Maine crown, and is no doubt hoping that her second bid will win her the top spot.
While the couple is said to have been dating for three years, their relationship did not become public until last June.
The former Patriots coach is celebrating his 73rd birthday on Wednesday and their May-December relationship continues to go from strength to strength.
The Trump administration sued Maine on Wednesday, escalating a dispute over whether the state is abiding by a federal law that bars discrimination in education based on sex.
The lawsuit follows weeks of feuding between the Republican administration and Democratic Gov. Janet Mills that has led to threats to cut off crucial federal funding and a clash at the White House when she told President Donald Trump: ‘We’ll see you in court.’
Attorney General Pam Bondi – and one of the athletes who joined her on stage at the Justice Department – cited the matter as a priority for Trump. Bondi said other states, including Minnesota and California, could be sued as well.
‘President Trump, before he was elected, this has been a huge issue for him,’ Bondi said. ‘Pretty simple: girls play in girls’ sports, boys play in boys’ sports. Men play in men’s sports, women play in women’s sports.’

Trump campaigned against the participation of transgender athletes in sports in his 2024 race. As president, he has signed executive orders to prohibit that and to use a rigid definition of the sexes, rather than gender, for federal government purposes.
The orders are being challenged in court.
Trump’s departments of Education and Health and Human Services have said Maine’s education agency is violating the federal Title IX antidiscrimination law by allowing transgender girls to participate on girls teams.
The Justice Department is asking the court to order the state to direct all schools to prohibit the participation of males in athletic competition designated for females.
Maine officials have refused to agree with a settlement that would have banned transgender students from sports, arguing that the law does not prevent schools from letting transgender athletes participate.
Mills said Wednesday that the lawsuit was expected and is part of a pressure campaign by Washington to force Maine to ignore its own human rights laws.
‘This matter has never been about school sports or the protection of women and girls, as has been claimed, it is about states rights and defending the rule of law against a federal government bent on imposing its will, instead of upholding the law,’ Mills said in a statement.
Maine’s attorney general, Aaron Frey, said Wednesday he is confident Maine is acting in accordance with state and federal law.

‘Our position is further bolstered by the complete lack of any legal citation supporting the Administration’s position in its own complaint,’ he said in a statement.
‘While the President issued an executive order that reflects his own interpretation of the law, anyone with the most basic understanding of American civics understands the president does not create law nor interpret law. ‘
The government’s complaint cites as examples the case of a transgender athlete who in February won first place in pole vault at a Maine indoor track and field meet and a transgender athlete who last year began competing in female cross country races in the state and placed first in a girl’s 5K run.
Twenty-six states have laws or policies barring transgender girls from girls school sports.
GOP-controlled states have also been banning gender-affirming health care for transgender minors and restricting bathroom use in schools and sometimes other public buildings.
