Michael Phelps former girlfriend, designated the new Miss California

Sunday night, following a brief ceremony, Nicole Johnson was awarded the vacant title of Miss California, after the already famous disqualification of Tiffany Teen.

Questioned about the reasons of her nomination, the young girl offered a somewhat naive response, raising smiles from the audience: “I think the way I presented. I had a lot of confidence on stage and I think I looked great in the red dress”.

Interestingly, although she’s not yet a big name in showbiz, Nicole is used with gold medals. Last year, she had a relationship with the famous Michael Phelps, none other than the best swimmer in history and also the winner of eight titles at the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
