“I Ignored Her for a While”: Reigning Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead Opened Up About How He Met His Recently Engaged Partner in 2018

A while ago, bodybuilding icon Chris Bumstead posted a Q&A video on his YouTube channel. He was asked about how he met his girlfriend, Courtney King. The power couple has been together since November 2018. The whole bodybuilding community admires them a lot. Bumstead and King were both laughing out of nostalgia while answering their fans’ questions. He even mentions how his girlfriend hit him up during the worst possible time.

Chris Bumstead is a Canadian IFBB professional bodybuilder. Bumstead has been into bodybuilding since he was 14 years old. He began professionally competing when he was just 19 years old. He is the three-time defending champion of the Mr. Olympia Classic Physique. Bumstead also secured second place in the 2017 and 2018 Mr. Olympia Classic Physique. Now he is preparing for the upcoming Mr. Olympia to claim his fourth championship.

The intertwined fate of Chris Bumstead and Courtney King

Chris Bumstead never imagined that one day he would be together with his crush, Courtney King. But we can say fate had a different idea for both of them.

“I Slid in his DMs,” Courtney King laughed and Bumstead replied with, “She did, that’s all you need to know.” This was the straightforward answer to the question: how did they meet? But it isn’t the last thing. There is more spice to it. 

“She hit me up in the DMs and I ignored her for a while,” Bumstead laughed out loud while making this statement. The couple were giggling throughout the Q&A session, and by the looks of it, it shows how strong their bond is.

“It was right after the Olympia so like I was bombarded with by sh**,” Bumstead explained and continued with, “She hit me up and I lost that’s the true queen thing.” 

Courtney King sent him a message after the 2018 Mr. Olympia, where Bumstead became a runner-up. Surely it wasn’t a great time for him to respond to messages. So he had his reasons for his ignorance. Technically, they met during the Arnold Classic in 2017, when Courtney was competing. Then, later on, she flew to Canada in November 2018 to meet him in person.
