Kayla Moore (née Kisor; born April 26, 1961) is president of the Foundation for Moral Law, a socially conservative legal advocacy group. She is the wife of Roy Moore and campaigned for him in the 2017 Senate special election in Alabama.
Kayla Danette Kisor was born on April 26, 1961, in Etowah County, Alabama, to Mack A. Kisor and Dell McDonald Kisor. She attended Southside High School with Beverly Young in Gadsden. As a teenager, she competed in beauty pageants, including Miss Alabama US Teen, Miss Alabama USA and Miss Alabama World. She placed second runner up in the Miss Alabama US Teen contest.
According to her website, Moore attended Jacksonville State University and the University of Alabama.
Moore married John Charles Heald on June 5, 1982. Together they had a daughter, Heather, who is a board member for the Foundation for Moral Law. Moore filed for divorce on December 28, 1984, citing "cruel treatment during the marriage", and it was granted April 19, 1985. On January 9, 1989, Moore obtained full custody of her daughter Heather, who Roy eventually adopted.
In 1984, Kayla met Roy Moore. Kayla told Breitbart she met Roy at a Bible study, while Roy stated in his memoir the two met at a church Christmas party. Roy's memoir noted he had first seen Kayla "many" years earlier at a dance recital held at Gadsden State Junior College. He also remembered her first and last names started with "K", but the specific number of years was not given in the memoir. Al.com columnist Kyle Whitmire publicized a July 2017 interview with Roy. In the interview, Roy relates the story of how he had first seen her at the dance recital, then stated "It was, oh gosh, eight years later, or something, I met her", referring to their meeting at the 1984 church party. In his memoir, Roy noted he was so "anxious to meet [Kayla]" in 1984, he approached her with the line "Haven't we met somewhere before?", implying he had first noticed her when she was fifteen or sixteen years old.
