NBA player Walker Kessler is dating officially the most beautiful woman in the US
Utah Jazz basketball player Walker Kessler is dating a woman who has officially been crowned Miss America. The athlete shared the news on his Instagram page, posting photos from the beauty pageant held recently.
Abbie Stockard, Kessler’s girlfriend, won the title of Miss Alabama in June 2024 and was crowned Miss America this past Sunday.
“Congratulations Abbie! I am so proud of you and everything you stand for. Your hard work and trust in the Lord has awarded you with this incredible opportunity! Use your light to shine on others around you! Love you,” Kessler wrote.
Stockard is studying nursing at Auburn University. During the competition, she also participated in fundraising efforts, directing the collected funds toward cystic fibrosis research.
Walker Kessler has been playing for the Utah Jazz since 2022. In 2023, he was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Interestingly, Kessler’s father and uncle are both connected to medicine, like his girlfriend—they are orthopedic surgeons.
