Erin Andrews wishes she was able to watch Bill Belichick support his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, at her Miss Maine USA beauty pageant.
“I tried to watch this over the weekend with some friends,” Andrews, 47, shared on the Monday, May 12, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. “I looked it up, ‘How do we watch it?’ And it led me to a site that was like, you can watch it, I think it was on pageantTV.com — not an ad.”
Despite finding a potential website to view the event, Andrews was hesitant about paying to access the livestream. “I was so worried about putting in my credit card ‘cause I was like, ‘What’s gonna happen here?’” she quipped. “So, that’s where we stopped, but I was following it and everything.”
She went on to reveal that it cost $40 to watch the pageant, much to Today host Jenna Bush Hager’s surprise. “That’s more than, like, a pay-per-view fight,” she remarked.
Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is seemingly laughing off comments about their “awkward” joint CBS Sunday Morning interview — and clapping back on social media. Hudson, 24, reposted a series of tweets on Sunday, April 27, that appeared to tell her side of the story after she received criticism for shutting down a question about […]
For Andrews, the price would have been worth it, as she “heard through the grapevine that this pageant was very hard to get a credential for,” likely due to Hudson’s participation and Belichick’s attendance.
Belichick, 73, was confirmed to have been dating Hudson, who is 48 years his junior, for over a year in June 2024. The former New England Patriots coach cheered on his girlfriend as she competed in the Miss Maine USA beauty pageant at the Holiday Inn in Portland, Maine, on Saturday, May 10. Following the preliminary rounds, Hudson was named as the competition’s second runner-up on Sunday, May 11.
The pair’s age-gap romance has sparked online conversation over the past few months. On Jenna & Friends, Andrews shared that the topic is something she’s discussed with Tom Brady while working as colleagues at Fox Sports.

“I’ve been asking him a lot, ‘What do you think about this?’ Because he knows [Bill] as a coach and I know [Bill] from being on the sidelines,” she told Bush Hager, 43, on Monday. “Look, Bill Belichick is royalty. … I know how he is on the field. He’s very matter-of-fact. You get two seconds to talk to him.”
Noting that she gets “full-blown stomach cramps” when she prepares to interview Belichick, Andrews praised Hudson for having the “congeniality points” to get the coach to sit front row at her pageant.
Belichick’s attendance at Hudson’s pageant comes amid backlash from his interview with CBS Sunday Morning last month, during which Hudson interrupted the conversation after Tony Dokoupil asked how they met. “Not talking about this,” she interjected.
Belichick defended Hudson in a statement released by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on April 30, explaining that he agreed to do press as long as the interview focused on his new book, The Art of Winning – Lessons from My Life in Football.
Jordon Hudson has raised plenty of eyebrows for dating 73-year-old Bill Belichick — but the reality of their relationship is rooted in something more stable than salacious. Hudson, 24, simply grew tired of dating people her own age prior to meeting Belichick, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. The source shares that Hudson became disenchanted […]
“Unfortunately, that expectation was not honored during the interview. I was surprised when unrelated topics were introduced, and I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book,” he wrote. “After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion. She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track.”
A CBS News spokesperson said in an April 30 statement that there were “no preconditions or limitations” to the topics agreed to be discussed during the interview.
