William Bumpus, the ex-husband of journalist Gayle King, has publicly apologized for his infidelity that occurred nearly 40 years ago. His apology came after King discussed the painful moment on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, where she revealed how she caught Bumpus cheating with one of her friends in 1990. In a statement to TMZ, Bumpus expressed remorse for the hurt he caused to King, their daughter Kirby, son William, and their grandchildren. He acknowledged the impact of his actions on their marriage, which ultimately ended in divorce in 1993 but noted their successful co-parenting relationship. Bumpus reflected on his past struggles with King’s public life and expressed admiration for her achievements. He reiterated his commitment to being the best version of himself and focusing on his family, including his daughter Poet from a subsequent relationship. This public acknowledgment adds a new layer to their long history and highlights the importance of accountability and growth in their lives.
