When did 'sMothered' star Catherine win the Miss Connecticut USA title?

According to a report by Cheatsheet, the 'sMothered' star Catherine won the title of Miss Connecticut USA in the year 1988. At that point, she took part in the Miss Connecticut USA beauty pageant that took place in El Paso, Texas.

Following in her mother's footsteps, Gabriella has upheld the family legacy by entering the Miss Connecticut USA pageant in April 2023. Media reports indicate that she also took part in the pageant in both 2021 and 2022.

While she didn't secure the title, Gabriella managed to clinch a spot in the top 5 and earned the distinction of being recognized as Miss Photogenic.

In April 2023, Gabriella took to her Instagram page and thanked her mom for her unwavering support and indicated her determination to pursue her dream of becoming the pageant's winner in the future.

She wrote, “To my Mom, the former Miss CT USA herself. Thank you for being the best walking coach there is. We spent the entire year preparing. Taking countless trips to NYC for my wardrobe, traveling and live-streaming every state pageant, the words of encouragement and mental preparation, you do it all. This is a legacy and I want to follow in your footsteps.” 

Gabriella further added, "Pageantry is in my blood and I’m not giving up now."

Catherine dropped a sweet comment on her daughter's post that read, "I have tears in my eyes. You’re simply beautiful inside and out. You’re my whole [heart] and you have incredible, life-changing opportunities just ahead! I love you.”
