If someone gets an opportunity to ask a question to the five-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead, what would they ask? Probably about his workout regime and dietary routines. One fan, however, asked him a question that no one would have expected. In a video uploaded on Instagram, one could see how the fan asked Bumstead, “How do I get a girlfriend?” Bumstead, as always had an answer.

That being said, one might think, Why ask Bumstead? The fact of the matter is, CBum has had a long-lasting relationship with his fiancée, Courtney King, and maybe, that makes him the right person to answer the fan’s question. In response, the five-time Mr. Olympia corrected his fan and said, “That’s a great question. It’s not how do you get a girlfriend; how do you get the girlfriend?”

The king of Classic Physique advised the young fan to focus on one girl. Bumstead suggested to all of his fans that they should find the right girl for them, just like CBum found his right girl. 

The five-time Mr. Olympia further added, “You get the right girlfriend by being yourself because what she needs to fall in love is your real self.” According to Bumstead the “fake self you create” would not help.

A few days ago, the king of the Classic Physique posted a series of pictures of him and his wife, along with his daughter.

CBum further highlighted how his fiancee stayed strong through the birth of the couple’s daughter and wrote, “The amount of fear she had about it all was a mirror for the amount of courage such a task would take.” Bumstead concluded the message and wrote something special for his baby girl. “While I would love to shelter you from any and all pain, I will instead lovingly encourage you to take on the scary aspects of life with your head held high.
