Chris Bumstead opened up about his first crush
As Bumstead sat to answer some of the frequently asked questions that his fans ask, it was evident that CBum fans were not just interested to know about his professional life. Out of the questions, the first one that Bumstead had to answer honestly was, “Who was your first crush?” Getting a check of what’s going to follow next, the champion could not help but comment, “Starting off strong.”

Answering the query with all his honesty, he remarked, “I feel like this is later than my first crush, but I remember my first like real one was after Transformers; it was like in grade seven, Megan Fox.” Using the adjective “dangerous” to describe her in the best possible way, it is needless to say that she left young CBum smitten.
Even though Bumstead could never express his feelings for Megan Fox out loud, the 27-year-old IFBB pro did not miss out on the chance to confess his feelings for lady-love Courtney King. After dating for years, the power couple decided to take a step further into their relationship.

Interestingly King was Bumstead’s crush. However, it was King who made the first move; sliding into his DMs, the Ms. Olympia winner had to wait for a long time before she got a positive reply.
