Chris Bumstead’s ever-bustling life since before Mr. Olympia has excited the fans for his sake. Now that the 29-year-old bodybuilder is closer to becoming a father for the first time, people are always enquiring about details about the pregnancy and his soon-to-be-born baby. In his latest Q&A session, he was asked what he planned to name his baby, and CBum refused to reveal it.

Chris Bumstead maintained his winning streak only months ago and became the five-time Mr. Olympia in Classic Physique. Much like in 2023, Mr. Olympia Derek Lunsford expects a new family member. Although the arrival date is close enough, the bodybuilding beast refuses to disclose his baby girl’s name, and here’s why.

In the latest video posted by Chris Bumstead, he was part of a Q&A session. He began by giving a disclaimer that he had been receiving a lot of questions regarding his kids, and he announced that there would not be any twins. Then he read the first question, where he was asked what the name of Baby Bum would be. He replied, “I don’t want to give this away either.”

Then, the bodybuilder shared an exciting story about himself and how he tried to decide on a name for much older generations. He confessed, “I had a funny idea. I told Cortney I wanted to name our daughter something that’s just like very old, like only an old person would have, like Bob or Glattus or Cleopatra or something random.” Then CBum said that he planned to give his daughter such a middle name.

Chris Bumstead has openly embraced the new life he is about to leap into. With many posts with his pregnant wife, CBum also reflects upon the changes he has undergone in preparing to enter fatherhood.
