Gayle King announced that she’s going to be a grandmother again. Her son Will Bumpus and his wife Elise are expecting their first child.
“Our family is growing,” Gayle said on Instagram on Thursday, Nov. 6.
“Favorite son @willgb3 and favorite daughter-in-law, the lovely @elisemariesmith have JUST given me permission to share photos from Sunday’s baby shower and their baby shoot. They can’t wait and neither can anybody who loves them!”
Gayle’s IG post featured photos from Will and Elise’s maternity shoot on a beach, posing with their dog. The post also included a series of photos of the couple from their brown-themed baby shower, which included Gayle’s BFF Oprah Winfrey and her longtime partner Stedman Graham.
“Can’t wait to see them become parents,” Gayle told Oprah Daily in an interview published Nov. 6. “They are over the moon and I’m right there with them ready to report for duty for ANYTHING they need!”
She added, “It’s been very very difficult to keep this a secret! I’m so glad they finally allowed me to share the news!”

The “CBS Mornings” host went viral this week after her brutal take down of the creator behind AI singer Xania Monet.
“But you can’t sing!” Gayle told Telisha “Nikki” Jones after Nikki said Xania was “a real person” to her.
