William Bumpus Wiki: Early Life, Age, Parents, Education

William, although coming into the limelight when he married, has successfully managed to keep detailed information about his early life hidden, including even his birth date, then the identity of his parents and whether he has any siblings or not. However, he finished high school in his hometown, after which he moved to the US, where he enrolled at Central Connecticut State University, and after graduating, he furthered his studies at Yale, from which he obtained his law degree.

Career

Before William became a highly-paid lawyer, he worked as an assistant attorney in Connecticut, though it only lasted for a yea, before he started making money on his own. However, years later he returned to government practice, assuming the position of CT Assistant State’s Attorney Criminal Prosecutor. Gradually his career improved, and he became more vigorous, which earned him a big promotion, including to DCF in Court Cases involving the Neglect and Abuse of Children with a focus on the Termination of Parental Rights, which he holds today.

Rise to Prominence

William’s fame came from a marriage to Gayle King, the successful journalist, who he married in 1982. Once their marriage was made public, everybody wanted to know more about William, but the media did a poor job in finding things out about our William, as he has successfully hidden all the important details. Nevertheless, his every move was followed along with his wife’s, until their marriage ended in 1993, as Gayle caught William cheating on her with another woman. Before the divorce, the two welcomed two children together, a son William Jr., and a daughter Kirby. He made an apology to her 26 years after the incident occurred.
