Jordon Hudson’s old beauty pageant friends have been left stunned at the news of her relationship with New England Patriots legend Bill Belichick, it has been revealed.
Hudson, 24, and Belichick, 72, have reportedly been dating since at least 2022, with the pair being spotted twice by DailyMail.com in the last few days – first on his boat in Nantucket and then on a date night at a swanky private members club.
But while their love-life is now front-page news, it appears until this week even some of Hudson’s friends were completely unaware of Belichick’s existence in her life.
Speaking to the New York Post, one former competitor in the Miss Mass. Teen USA 2020 competition said: ‘I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend — I heard from people she’s kind of all over the place with dating. I’m so curious how this happened. He’s old enough to be her grandfather!
‘She’s not shy — wanting the limelight is one thing but dating someone in his 70s is another. I didn’t realize she’d go as far to do that for fame.’

Another friend of Hudson’s revealed that the pair are likely to have met on upscale dating app Raya, while admitting she was shocked to hear that Belichick had flown on a commercial plane – where he met Hudson flying from Boston to Florida.
Another anonymous old friend from the beauty pageant world added of the 24-year-old former cheerleader: ‘She is not a pageant girl. The rule for Miss USA is you can compete in two states per year.
‘She competed for Maine and she was slated to compete for Alaska [but] she dropped out. I don’t know if it has to do with this news coming out.’
On Thursday, DailyMail.com revealed exclusive images of Hudson and Belichick out on a date night in Nantucket.

In the snaps, the former collegiate cheerleader wasn’t shy about showing some PDA with her older beau, keeping a tight grip on his arm as they left the restaurant.
Hudson showed off her youthful, playful style, donning a white tank top paired with pink floral pants, and wedge sandals.
She cozied up to her much older beau, who was dressed down in a blue linen shirt, blue jeans, and brown loafers.
Earlier in the week, we revealed the first photos of the couple together, sunning themselves on Belichick’s $225,000 powerboat, named VIII Rings for his eight Super Bowl titles (six as head coach in New England and the two he previously won as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator).
The pair have been hunkering down in one of the legendary NFL coaches lavish properties in his ‘compound’ on Nantucket.
Belichick and Hudson have been staying in one of his seven lavish properties on that he owns on the exclusive island, with an estimated value of $3million.
He currently owns at least seven properties on the island, with six of them close to each other making up a complex in Siasconet, worth a total of $15.7million.
Belichick and Hudson are believed to have started dating in 2022, and are said to have bonded over a philosophy project that Hudson – a student-athlete as well as an entrepreneur – had been working on at the time.
On Tuesday, the May-December couple were pictured in an unearthed selfie taken during their first encounter in February 2021, TMZ reported.
The two posed for a photo during their reported first meeting aboard a 2021 flight from Boston to Florida where Belichick reportedly struck up a conversation about the book she was reading.
It was on that flight that Belichick also purportedly autographed a ‘Deductive Logic’ textbook that Hudson, then a 21-year-old student at Bridgewater State University, was studying.
