Alabama nursing student Abbie Stockard, whose boyfriend is Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler, was crowned the 97th Miss America.

Abbie Stockard, Miss Alabama 2024, was crowned Miss America 2025 on Sunday night at the Walt Disney Theater in Orlando, Florida. Stockard, 22, will receive a $50,000 in scholarship money as Miss America and immediately start a yearlong reign.

His girlfriend, Abbie Stockard, was in the pageant as Miss Alabama. At the end of the night, she was crowned Miss America. Kessler was streaming the event on his phone with his head coach, Will Hardy, and was overjoyed when he saw that Stockard won the title.

This is insane," Stockard said in a video posted on the organization's Instagram. "I don’t know what I did to deserve this.”

Grace Davis, a close friend of Miss America Abbie Stockard, celebrates her win, cherishing their bond through Best Buddies and years of friendship and support.

Walker Kessler's girlfriend is a winner in more ways than one. The couple recently had a big reason to celebrate and Walker filmed the whole thing.
