“Cracked Me Wide Open”: Courtney King and Chris Bumstead Celebrated Her First Mother’s Day With a Heartfelt Note

This Mother’s Day was special for both Chris Bumstead and his partner Courtney King, with their newborn daughter, Bradley Shay, finally making an appearance. As they embarked upon the next chapter of their life as parents, King penned a beautiful note for her daughter on the occasion.

Being her first special occasion as a mother, King has been constantly open and vocal about her birth experience and how Bumstead supported her throughout the journey. The couple had announced pregnancy during Thanksgiving last year, and fans had been eagerly awaiting it since then.

In an ode to all mothers across the globe, King expressed her respect and awe for the role and what it entailed. Although she had been anticipating it, the real pressure had truly begun the moment she birthed her daughter. Recounting her experience so far, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed about her new phase.

“Today is my first Mothers Day. I haven’t been on this journey very long, but what I can say so far is that this journey feels like its already cracked me wide open.”
