At 69 years old, Gayle King can add a new accolade to her already impressive resume: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl. And when it comes to who she wants to send a copy to personally? Well, her ex-husband tops the list.
At the launch party for the magazine’s annual swimsuit issue last night, King joked to Entertainment Tonight that she’d like to make sure one Bill Bumpus—who King was married to from 1982 to 1993—has a copy. Of the experience, “It has sunk in, but it’s still mind-blowing to me, honestly,” King said at the party last night, held at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City’s Times Square. “I used to look at it all the time, myself—never in a gazillion years did I think I would be that person.”
