Chris Bumstead’s life is bustling with excitement. Not only because he is now the 5-time reigning champ of Mr Olympia Classic Physique, but also because he will have baby bum playing in his arms very soon! The 29-year-old and his wife, Courtney King are very close to welcoming their baby girl! The father-to-be is gearing up for his bundle of joy, just like he prepares for a competition. He is researching children’s books, coming up with baby names, and even taking help from renowned psychologists.

But recently, Bumstead was seen praying to “the one who makes babies” because he wants his daughter’s wellbeing and he is surprisingly particular about one wish for his baby girl!

The champion recently uploaded an Instagram story on his official account where he and Courtney King were in the hospital for a regular checkup on their daughter. King is already in the 33rd week of her pregnancy and in just 6 weeks, baby Bum will be playing with Mama and Papa Bum. Bumstead is very particular about the wishes he makes for his daughter and one of them is crucial to him. He wrote, “Dear person who makes babies, please give our daughter a better head of hair than me.”

This hilarious line comes in from the bodybuilding champ, and dad-to-be just months after he had a hair transplant recently in Turkey because he was not happy with his hairline. The process was painful according to him, but he still went for it alongside his brother-in-law and former coach Ian Valliere.

The bodybuilding icon even recently talked to Jordan B Peterson about becoming a good dad. The psychologist helped him with suggestions on playtime and other important dad stuff.

Since baby Bum is 33 weeks out, the couple has been thinking of baby names as well, but hold on! Bumstead will not reveal them so fast.

During a Q and A session, Bumstead began by giving a heads-up on how he has been receiving a lot of baby name questions and also that people think they will have twins. CBum read the first question which was about the name of Baby Bum. He replied, “I don’t want to give this away either.”

However, he was ready to give some crumbs of info about baby name research and narrated how he had decided on a name that was perfect for ancient times! He confessed, “I had a funny idea. I told Courtney 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.”

Even though that idea was probably scrapped, he plans on giving a middle name, such as the one he mentioned to his daughter. It seems like Bumstead has openly and happily embraced his new life and role that he is about to walk into.
