Winning at Life!
That was not on my bingo card, for sure… – Walker Kessler
The casual NBA fan might not be super familiar with Walker Kessler considering he plays for the Utah Jazz but the man is winning at life. He’s developed into a very good player and Walker Kessler’s stats are the best they’ve been in his career as he’s averaging a double-double.
However, that’s not even the most exciting thing in his life. If you’re a sports fan, you may not know who won Miss America. Well, I’m here to tell you that Miss America 2025 is Walker Kessler’s girlfriend.

Abbie Stockard has been dating Kessler since his rookie season and she’s had a meteoric rise. She was crowned as this year’s Miss America, which is not an easy thing to accomplish. Stockard is a nursing student at Alabama but after this news, something tells me she’s going to leave the medical field.
Walker Kessler Reacts to News
Kessler had no clue that his girlfriend would eventually be crowned as Miss America when he first started dating her. He’s also been focused on playing NBA games this year. He was shocked that she won but very happy.
Walker Kessler watching his girlfriend Abbie Stockard win Miss America while at dinner with Will Hardy is unbelievable content.

“That was not on my bingo card, for sure,” Kessler said when asked about dating Miss America. “It’s a great title and stuff, but more than that she’s an incredible young woman, even before she won Miss America or anything. It’s cool to see her get recognized for that, but she’s an incredible person. To me, she’ll always just be Abbie.”
Kessler can now always say that he dated Miss America. If that’s not bragging rights during boy’s night, I don’t know what is. Kessler hasn’t been a big name in NBA news outside of trade rumors linking him to the Los Angeles Lakers. Now that he’s with Stockard, who is about to become a household name, will only help his status.
If those NBA trade rumors turn out to be true and he gets sent to Los Angeles, his star will only grow.
