Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of Bill Belichick, professed her love of seagulls during a seaside feeding session.
Hudson, who was the second-place winner in the 2024 Miss Maine USA competition, shared a video on Instagram where she and a friend feed birds by the water in Maine.
She expressed her surprise at finding someone who shared her passion for both seagulls and Maine, declaring her companion Sir Spinner as the “King of the Gulls.”
Hudson added, “Thanks for sharing your wisdom and daily seagull ritual with me, Spin.”
The video shows Hudson and Spin, whose identity remains a mystery, joyfully feeding seagulls what seems to be cheese balls from various bags and containers. At one point, a seagull even lands on Hudson’s head, to which she reacts nonchalantly.
While sometimes controversial, it is not illegal to feed seagulls in the state of Maine, according to WCYY. However, the outlet cites a story from 2012 in which a woman came under fire for constantly feeding seagulls in Rockland, Maine, which led to the area being covered in seagull poop. Officials eventually ordered the woman to stop feeding the birds, leading to an official town ordinance.
Hudson began dating Belichick, the 72-year-old former head coach of the New England Patriots, last year after the duo met on an airplane in 2021 when Hudson was still in college. Belichick was announced as the new head football coach at the University of North Carolina in December 2024.
The former beauty queen, who was also a cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, is an avid birder and environmentalist.
Hudson and Belichick made their red carpet debut together at the American Museum of Natural History’s annual gala in December 2024, which Hudson gushed about after the event via Instagram.
“The evening was saturated with all of my favourite things: friendship, education, philanthropy, glamour, beet salad, Billy, dance-worthy music, ornithological & oceanic exhibits,” she wrote. “We created so many great memories together while supporting a great cause; my heart is filled to the brim!!!”
Hudson added, “The wide-spread importance and applicability of natural history education is far more relevant than many people understand; it reinforces a sense of biocentrism, promotes better policy creation, preserves culture and heritage, and teaches us about the world we interact with on a daily basis.”
