Gayle King sends ‘a million admirers’ wild in new clip that shows off her curves months after appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated

Gayle King’s struggle to seek out Mr. Right is a mystery to fans who’ve eyes just for her. The “CBS Mornings” co-host has been inundated with compliments since she caught viewers’ attention with a curve-hugging green dress in a recent Instagram post.

King, 69, declared, “It’s tough out here for a pimp,” when talking about being single and her looks while appearing on “The Tamron Hall Show” this spring. “That’s what I said! Yes, I did.

“The struggle is real,” she added. But the veteran journalist’s post as she strolled through the airport suggests she still attracts plenty of attention. The video was filmed to showcase her Sneex, a pair of high-heeled sneakers, but some only saw her curves.

“Gayle, you have a million admirers??? Because you look like this!!!!! With or without shoes. I love that dress!” one person gushed. One fan exclaimed, “Gayle King has an ASS!” While one other fan couldn’t help but say, “Look at Gayle looking like an hourglass.”

King’s character was all the rage for just a few weeks when she modeled on the cover of Sports Illustrated in May. Photos of her in various swimsuits made even her ex-husband, William Bumpus, widen his eyes as he gazed at the magazine spread.

“Well, I can check off one more item on my unlikely bucket list! My teenage fantasy of having sex with a Sports Illustrated model has finally come true,” he told Page Six.

The former couple were married for 11 years before divorcing in 1993. King famously shared that the marriage fell apart when she caught him in bed with a girl she considered a friend. The couple has two adult children, a daughter, Kirby, and a son, William Bumpus Jr.

With “Forget the shoes! I want to ozempic Gail.” After the Sports Illustrated cover, King said her slim figure was the result of good, old-fashioned cardio and strength training.

“Everyone has to find what suits them,” she said. TMZThe longtime news personality also noted that she has used the Weight Watchers program in the past to assist her reach her goal weight, although the points-based approach to eating was not part of her fitness arsenal this time around.

“I just feel good about where I am in my life and that it all worked out, that’s all,” King told a reporter.

Last December, her best friend of nearly 50 years, Oprah Winfrey, made headlines for her sculpted waist and slim figure. She eventually revealed that her significant body transformation was the result of two knee substitute surgeries that allowed her to comfortably lead an lively life, and the help of an undisclosed weight-loss drug.

At the time, Ozempic was all the rage amongst Hollywood stars and the general public who could get their hands on a diabetes drug. The tycoon was also a board member for Weight Watchers, though he ultimately resigned in March.

“WeightWatchers is now a weight health company that also provides weight medications. I didn’t want there to be any appearance of a conflict of interest,” she said before the airing of “An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution.”

Whether King keeps the weight off naturally or with the help of medical assistance, there’s no denying that fans see she walks around with a “badass” aura. That boost of confidence was on full display in a viral clip of her interview with rock star Lenny Kravitz.

King hilariously set the web on fire when he asked the musician about his love life. “Do you have a significant other in your life and can I kick their ass if you do? Oops. Did I say that out loud?” she asked, as Kravitz chuckled.

Viewers said the cheeky moment was proof that becoming the swimsuit beauty boss has gone to her head in the best and funniest way.
