Chris Bumstead being a father this year has brought several fans joy, especially witnessing him doting on his daughter. Ever since he and his partner, Courtney King, welcomed their baby, life has been slightly chaotic but fulfilling nevertheless for the bodybuilding icon. His recent Father’s Day celebration was, therefore, quite eventful.
In a series of pictures capturing him performing basic dad duties for his daughter and dog, Bumstead shared a slice of his life with fans. Accepting the paternal persona to its fullest, he was ready to dedicate himself to his new role in his personal life.
“Dad era is in full effect.”
The photos featured him walking his dog in a stroller, holding baby Bradley with a single arm, and some glimpses of his workout and diet. Since he’s deep into his Olympia prep at this point, fans have begun noticing his humongous size and conditioning coming in gradually.
