The Daily Mail reported that in December 2020, Bumpus and King's daughter Kirby Bumpus got married. The guest list was very small due to pandemic restrictions. However, King said, "Nobody knows Kirby the way her brother does, so for him to do the ceremony felt meant to be. It wasn't the wedding we planned, but it was absolutely perfect." It's unclear whether Bumpus attended.

Still, he has praised King's resilience as a mum. "I have nothing but the utmost respect for Gayle and how she handled herself with grace. Despite the situation, she kept our children, as well as my relationship and involvement with them, as a clear priority," he told Entertainment Tonight, "I continue to be a work in progress and have spent the last 26 years striving to be a better man and father. I applaud Gayle's continued phenomenal success and friendship."

King hasn't been famous romantically linked to anyone since her divorce, she has stuck by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah revealed in O, The Oprah Magazine that she had reservations at her friend's wedding. "It didn't feel joyful. You know how you go to weddings and they're full of joy? There are some weddings you go to and you're just filled with all this hope for the couple. And you feel that there's something special going on. I didn't feel that at yours," Winfrey said to King. However, she said she didn't say anything because she didn't feel it was her place.
