The 2025 Miss Maine USA pageant took place at the Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay, gathering around 300 attendees. Amid bright lights and lively music, pageant coordinator Sal Malafronte announced the semifinalists, including Jordon Hudson, whose relationship with former NFL coach Bill Belichick captivated the audience. This year's event blended traditional beauty pageant elements with modern celebrity culture, transforming it into more of a tabloid spectacle, as Hudson's every action was scrutinized by social media. The competition concluded as a highly anticipated affair, merging beauty, performance, and celebrity intrigue.
Every move that Hudson made - every gesture, every facial expression - seemed in danger of surfacing on social media.
And we are going to begin," Malafronte said, "with Penobscot, Arianna DeJesus! And Monson, Isabelle St. Cyr!"
The reason this year's pageant had morphed from quaint ritual to tabloid spectacle.
Hudson's relationship with Belichick, 73, has been in the news recently.
