Congratulations to Miss Kentucky Ella Smith on winning the 2021 Miss USA pageant.
Elle will now represent the USA at the Miss Universe pageant on December 12, 2021 in Eilat, Israel. Before that happens, we’ll tell you all about who she is, her parents, boyfriend stories, and more.
Who are the parents of Miss USA 2021 Ella Smith?
So the parents of Miss USA 2021 Elle Smith, Lydia Smith-Lockwood and Samuel Clayborne, are no doubt very proud of their daughter’s recent achievement.
Elle’s mom, Lydia Smith-Lockwood, who wrote on her Facebook page last night: “How to watch the 2021 Miss USA pageant,” is also on Instagram @lydiacarrie.
The Springfield, Ohio Symphony Orchestra proudly named Ella’s mom their 2015-2016 Music Educator of the Year. It was then revealed that Lydia had been the director of choral and orchestral music at Shawnee High School since 2006. She is currently the music director at Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Later, Elle also mentioned her father Samuel Clayborne a lot, especially in her tweets.
So, Elle’s dad is an Ohio State University student who, according to LinkedIn, is an Ohio-based sales and acquisitions manager with proven experience in acquisitions, sales, business development, and territory management.
Elle’s parents split up because Elle’s May 2015 tweet read, “Having split parents sucks because all they do is fight over money.”
Elle’s mother later married Timothy E. Lockwood, who began his work as a director at LOC (Learning Opportunity Center) in 2018.
In addition, Elle has a brother named Jackson Clayborne who earned college degrees in football, swimming, and track while at Clark Shawnee High School. He was the captain of his school’s football team, a member of the high school choir, and, in his senior year of high school, he directed the school musical.
Finally, a member of Elle’s family lost their life in October 2018. A grieving Elle took to her social media to pay tribute to the person named Hayden. “You had a gift. A gift that brought joy, laughter and love to all. Your smile was contagious and your music touched the hearts and souls of many.” Elle shared how her best friend and brother, Hayden, spent endless hours listening to Hayden work out with her mom. Hayden was also present during the family Christmas Eve tradition.
Elle Smith Ethnicity
Elle Smith proudly identifies as black. She shared her experience winning beauty pageants, her struggle with insecurities, and her role as a black woman, when she also said: “Seeing someone who is confident in herself, confident in her abilities, and just seeing a black woman who knows her strengths . and weaknesses…it’s a powerful thing.”
Does Elle Smith have a boyfriend?
Elle Smith seemed to be dating a man since 2021.
So, Elle’s social network has several photos of them together where they look like a boyfriend and girlfriend, and (of course) Elle’s captions about them give off the same vibes, too.
So the last time they posed somewhere in Cincinnati, Elle’s caption read, “Look how everyone is searching but I found mine 🤎.”
In July 2019, Elle’s social media also saw the couple kissing and having fun in the warm sun in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Is Elle Smith engaged to her boyfriend? (PHOTO: Instagram)
And presumably on Valentine’s Day that same year, Elle teased her fans with this photo of them showing off what appears to be their engagement ring. But she wrote: “I wear a ring, but I won’t be the lady.” 💯” and she confused everyone whether she’s engaged or not.

He attended Shawnee High School for high school.
