PORTLAND, Maine — “Miss Congeniality” Jordon Hudson is not.

Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend fell short yet again in the Miss Maine beauty pageant, placing third Sunday — and she couldn’t hide her disappointment.

Hudson — who came in second in the contest last year — once again didn’t have quite the stuff to strut all the way to the crown.

She looked dejected behind her beaming stage smile as the results were read aloud  — and it was revealed she’d landed one place worse than she did in 2024.

Then offstage, after the contest ended, Hudson’s face remained downcast as her bodyguard rebuffed reporters clamoring for questions.

“She’s not answering,” the bodyguard said.

The loss comes as her relationship with the 73-year-old NFL coaching legend garnered even more national attention thanks to a recent disastrous CBS News interview with Belichick, when Hudson tersely interjected from the sidelines when he was asked about how the two met.

“We’re not talking about that,” Hudson cut in when the topic came up – with the network later saying the interruption was kept in the final cut because of how frequently Hudson inserted herself into the conversation.

The controversy seemed to be top of mind for Hudson during the question-and-answer phase of the pageant’s final round Sunday.

“I hope anyone watching finds the strength to push through whatever they’re going through,” Hudson said when asked how she was feeling. “Hate never wins.”

Her famously grouchy boyfriend and her father, who is in his late 40s, sat together in the front row and chatted amiably between rounds.

After his lover lost Sunday, Belichick was seen planting a peck on the cheek of last year’s Miss Massachusetts, 22-year-old Melissa Sapini, when she greeted him in the crowd.

Belichick was the longtime coach of the New England Patriots, who are based in Massachusetts.

Earlier in the contest, Hudson, a notoriously hard-nosed former cheerleader, notably missed out on the Miss Congeniality title ahead of the semi-finals – but made it through after winning the style award.

Shelby Powell of Bangor won the contest and will represent Maine at the Miss USA contest.

Hudson had tried to hook the judges during the pageant by leaning into her local Maine maritime roots – at one point sporting a red lobster-shaped clutch embroidered with “Save Maine Fishermen” in a nod to her father’s former career.

She fondly recalled childhood fishing with her father during the question-and-answer phase and said that if crowned, she would use her platform to preserve the struggling local industry.

Hudson’s appearance in the contest, which kicked off with preliminary rounds Saturday, came as a surprise for some, with sources telling The Post she almost dropped out after controversy erupted following the CBS Interview.

There also is the fact that the University of North Carolina reportedly banned her from attending Belichick’s practices as coach there.

“All the girls were so worried about her, they’re all friends, and she’s been so quiet all week,” a source had said. “It’s not like her to not post on social media or be out of touch with everyone for that long.”
