Why Jordon Hudson Says She’s Like Taylor Swift’s Publicist Tree Paine

Jordon Hudson Reportedly Compares Herself to Taylor Swift’s Publicist Tree Paine

Jordon Hudson has been Bill Belichick’s right-hand woman in more ways than one.

While the Miss Maine contestant, 24, has been dating the former New England Patriots coach, 73, she’s also taken on a role in his professional life. So much so that she allegedly compared herself to Taylor Swift’s longtime publicist Tree Paine during a recent phone call with The Sports Gossip Show’s Charlotte Wilder.

According to Charlotte, Jordon told her, “‘I love that you said that I’m like Bill’s Tree Paine. Because I am.’” 

As Charlotte recounted on the Aug. 7 episode of her and Madeline Hill’s podcast, the pageant queen had explained on the call, “Everybody loved Bill’s media presence before they found out I was behind it.”

E! News has reached out to Jordon’s rep for comment and has not heard back.

While Jordon and Bill first met in February 2021, it wasn’t until 2024 that they went public with their romance. 

And since then, she has continued to make waves as she’s stepped into her role as a spokesperson for the University of North Carolina coach. Specifically, earlier this year when she intervened from the sidelines during Bill’s interview with CBS Sunday Morning, shutting down an interview question from Tony Dokoupil about when her and Bill met.

In the moment that was caught on camera and later aired as part of the segment on Bill’s The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football book, she jumped in to say, “Not talking about this.” Tony then asked, “No?” to which Jordon reiterated, “No.”

While critics slammed Jordon for cutting into the conversation, Bill spoke out regarding the controversial moment to defend her.

“I agreed to speak with CBS Sunday Morning to promote my new book, The Art of Winning — Lessons from My Life in Football,” he said in an April 30 statement provided to E! News by his employer, the University of North Carolina. “Prior to this interview, I clearly communicated with my publicist at Simon & Schuster that any promotional interviews I participated in would agree to focus solely on the contents of the book.”

Bill Belichick’s Daughter-in-Law Slammed Jordon Hudson Over Awkward Interview Moment

Days after the former cheerleader interrupted Bill’s interview to shut down questions about their relationship, the former coach’s daughter-in-law Jen Belichick expressed her disapproval—though comedian Nikki Glaser had defended her actions.

“She was jumping into that conversation during the interview,” Nikki said in a May 2025 episode of Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules podcast, “just like any PR person would jump in when there’s an unnecessary question.”

But Jen argued that, unlike Jordon, “publicists act in a professional manner and don’t ‘storm’ off set delaying an interview.”
