Gayle King Found Ex Cheating with Friend

Journalist Gayle King shared a dramatic personal story on the Call Her Daddy podcast about discovering her ex-husband's infidelity. King recounted returning home unexpectedly and finding her ex-husband, William Bumpus, with a woman she considered a friend. The situation escalated with the house alarm triggering, leading to police involvement. King also described confronting the friend and her husband, who she states denied the affair and accused King of being delusional.

King and Bumpus initially attempted reconciliation and counseling but ultimately divorced in 1993. She expressed not liking the person she was becoming due to the marital strain and her own suspicions. King has since focused on co-parenting their two children, Kirby and William Jr., maintaining a positive relationship with their father. In 2016, Bumpus publicly apologized for his actions, acknowledging the significant impact of his infidelity.
