Gayle King’s Ex-Husband Publicly Apologizes for Cheating On Her

Gayle King
Gayle King’s ex-husband, Connecticut Assistant Attorney General William Bumpus, told Page Six he is “haunted” by his cheating past.
Bumpus, who was married to King for 11 years, said in a statement, “I publicly apologize for the major transgression that dramatically changed all of our lives.”
In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, King, 61, recalled how she caught her ex-husband in bed with another woman.
“I’m not a huge fan of the woman who I caught naked with my now ex-husband on June 24, 1990, at 9:16 p.m. — but I don’t remember the details,” she said.
Unlike most women who go through the grieving process before forgiving their husbands,

King filed for divorce in 1993. They had 2 children together.

“I have been haunted with this life altering choice,” Bumpus told Page Sixthrough his rep, Lisa Nkonoki.
He added:
“I have nothing but the utmost respect for Gayle and how she handled herself with grace. Despite the situation, she kept our children, as well as my relationship and involvement with them, as a clear priority. Gayle was a great wife, an excellent mother and a fantastic co-parent. I am eternally grateful for all that she has done and continues to do to enrich my life and the lives of our incredible adult children. I continue to be a work in progress and have spent the last 26 years striving to be a better man and father. I applaud Gayle’s continued phenomenal success and friendship!”
