Mother of two becomes first mom to be crowned Miss USA
A mother of two just became the first mom to be crowned Miss USA.
Miss Virginia Justus Kelley, 31, takes the 2026 crown, becoming the first mother, first married woman, and first woman in her 30s to win the pageant.
Kelley calls the history-making victory “a huge honor” and says she views being the first as a responsibility.
And she doesn’t expect the milestone to stop with her: She says she “won’t be the last.”
