Gayle King is much more than Oprah's best friend. The TV personality is a journalist and author who currently co-hosts CBS Mornings. Waking up wouldn't be the same without Gayle's genuine charm.
Naturally, we couldn't help but wonder if Gayle has had time to date while she isn't anchoring morning newscasts. What is her dating history? Here's what we know so far.
Who Is Gayle King's Dating Now?
Gayle King does not appear to have a boyfriend and is therefore presumed to be single. She hasn't been linked to or rumored to have shared romantic ties with anyone since her divorce from her first marriage.
Her ex-husband allegedly cheated on her, as previously stated. Is it Gayle King's insecurity that has kept her single? So far, she hasn't revealed anything about the reason. Perhaps it is her choice, and she is very busy with her profession.
Gayle has proven herself to be one of the best journalists of all time, even at her advanced age. We can't see Gayle dating anyone anytime soon, given her self-confidence and happiness in the absence of a love relationship.
Who Was Gayle King Married to?
From 1982 to 1993, Gayle was married to William Bumpus. What caused her and her husband's divorce?
Let's travel back to 1982. Gayle has been seeing William Bumpus, a British attorney, since 1981.
The couple married in 1982 and had two children: a daughter named Kirby and a son named William Bumpus Jr. So, what caused their divorce after eleven years of marriage? It's a heartbreaking story.

Gayle revealed to the US Sun that she once discovered William in bed with another lady. Gayle found solace in counseling that she joked (via a questionnaire) that the person she despised the most was “the woman I caught naked with my now ex-husband on June 24th, 1990, at 9:16 p.m., but I don't remember the details.”
Was William Ever Sorry to Gayle?
Although Gayle's unknown ex-friend never apologized to her, William did. According to the same Daily Mail report, William stated, “I have been haunted by this life-altering decision.” Even though I have dealt with this privately, I openly apologize for the huge offense that has dramatically altered all of our lives.”
Gayle's ex-husband praised her and said, “I have nothing but the utmost respect for Gayle and how she handled herself with grace.”
