Who are Miss USA 2021 Elle Smith’s parents?

So the parents of Miss America 2021 Elle Smith — Lydia Smith-Lockwood and Samuel Clayborne — must be incredibly proud of their daughter’s recent accomplishments.

Elle’s mother Lydia Smith-Lockwood, who posted on Facebook just the night before “How to Watch the 2021 Miss USA Pageant,” is also on Instagram @lydiacarrie.

The Springfield Symphony Orchestra in Ohio is proud to announce Elle’s mother as their Music Teacher for the 2015-2016 school year. It was later revealed that Lydia has been the Choral and Orchestral Music Director at Shawnee High School since 2006. And currently, she is the Music Director at Covenant Presbyterian Church.

Elle has also frequently mentioned her father, Samuel Clayborne, in her Tweets since then.

So, Elle’s dad is an Ohio State University alumnus who, according to LinkedIn, is a sales and purchasing manager in Ohio with proven experience in purchasing, business development, and territory management.

Elle’s parents are separated as Elle tweeted in May 2015 — “Having separated parents sucks because all they fight about is money.”

Elle’s mother then married Timothy E. Lockwood, who started working as Principal at LOC (Learning Opportunity Center) in 2018.

Finally, a family member passed away in October 2018. A grieving Elle took to social media to remember him by the name Hayden. “You had a gift. A gift to bring joy, laughter, and love to people. Your smile was contagious, and your music touched the hearts and souls of many.” Elle shared how her best friend and brother, Hayden, used to spend hours listening to Hayden practice with her mother. Hayden was also a part of the family’s Christmas Eve traditions.
