The sport of bodybuilding is surely not for the faint-hearted. A bodybuilder goes through countless emotions and difficulties while competing in and preparing for a bodybuilding contest. Winning on the Mr. Olympia stage four times is surely not an easy task. But Chris Bumstead has made sure that his name comes to mind whenever someone thinks of the Classic Physique division. As he has been open about his struggles with maintaining relationships and friendships because of bodybuilding, the only constant in his life has been the support of his fiancée.
Bumstead, who is looking to tie the knot with IFBB Pro Bikini Competitor Courtney King soon, has talked about the support he has received from her on multiple occasions. Being from the same field, the duo understands the struggle of a bodybuilder and proves to be helpful whenever necessary. As Bumstead is preparing for a 5th Mr. Olympia title, he recently posted a message for Courtney on his Instagram handle for her birthday.

Since the introduction of Classic Physique in 2016, Bumstead has been the main reason for the popularity and success of this weight class. After winning the title four times already, Bumstead has enjoyed almost everything the sport has to offer. He constantly talks about how he has matured over the years and how the sport has helped him battle his insecurities. However, he does believe that all of this would have been next to impossible if he did not have his loved ones by his side. As the 28-year-old bodybuilder recently launched his own supplement line, he is venturing into a different arena and is looking to settle down soon.

Recently, as Courtney turned 30, Chris Bumstead posted a picture with her on his Instagram and wrote, “When you’re getting married to a cougar. Happy 30th to my best friend, thank you for always bringing out the best in me.” Replying to this, Courtney simply stated, “i love you.”
The couple initially met in 2017 during the Mr. Olympia contest. They started conversing via social media in 2018 and have been seeing each other since then. The couple later got engaged in September 2022 and will be getting married anytime soon. They can be spotted together often, and it looks like the couple is understanding and supportive of each other’s goals.
