William Bumpus, Gayle King’s ex-husband, apologised to the public for cheating on her in 2016 after she made light of the situation.
Kirby and William Bumpus Jr. were the children that Gayle King and William Bumpus had together after getting married.
Bumpus, Gayle King’s ex-husband, has a net worth of about $20 million, according to Biographypedia.
King and her husband divorced when she discovered him in bed with an other woman. King discussed her marriage and her feelings in a 2006 segment of her former XM Satellite radio show.
I was married to a cheater, she claimed. I visited a marital therapist. Although I’ve been divorced since 1993, I’m fully recovered. I figured it out. I’m not resentful. I’m OK. I’m doing fine.
King made light of the incident in 2016 while responding to a survey.
King responded, “I’m not a huge fan of the woman who I saw naked with my now ex-husband on June 24, 1990, at 9:16 p.m., but I don’t recall the details,” when asked which living person she hated the most.
Bumpus, Gayle King’s ex-husband, eventually apologised in public for his immoral behaviour.
I’ve been plagued by this drastic decision, he said. Although I have dealt with this personally, I sincerely regret the significant wrongdoing that irreparably altered all of our lives. I have nothing but the utmost admiration for Gayle and the poise with which she conducted herself.
In spite of the circumstances, King was lauded by Bumpus for putting their children and their relationship first.
He stated, “Despite the circumstances, she clearly prioritised our children, as well as my relationship and involvement with them. I’ve spent the last 26 years trying to become a better father and guy, and I still consider myself a work in progress. I congratulate Gayle on her unwavering success and friendship!”
Fans of CBS Morning anchor Gayle King have been worried and wondering where she is due to rumours that she may be leaving the network for competitor CNN.
Some have speculated that King, who co-anchors the programme alongside Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson, has been removed because of her recent absence from the media.
As editor-at-large of Oprah Daily, King has been active on social media, promoting her favourite TV picks while Natalie Morales has been filling in for her.
King has been with the network since 2011, but her departure coincides with speculation that she is moving to CNN in the wake of that network’s recent restructure following the brief launch and fast collapse of CNN+.
One follower tweeted, “Is Natalie Morales replacing Gayle King on CBS Mornings after she leaves for her short-term CNN paycheck,” in reference to fans asking where King is.
Even though NBA icon Charles Barkley acknowledged that the network was attempting to team them together for a new show, King has denied that she is leaving CBS for a deal with CNN.
They’re attempting to pair me and Gayle King together, he claimed. Nothing is set in stone for us. I’m only thinking about it because I admire Gayle.
King has already said that she has no plans to leave CBS, despite Barkley’s remarks.
She added, “I’m really close to [CNN head] Chris Licht,” during the 2023 Adweek Convergent TV Summit in New York. I really enjoy him. Nonetheless, in response to the query “Me no speak English,” let’s simply state that I have two years left on my contract with CBS and have no plans to leave.
King’s absence from CBS Mornings in recent weeks has sparked suspicions that she has been replaced, but the network has not made any formal statements regarding this.
