Gayle King is pretty private about her love life for the most part and hasn’t debuted a man since her divorce decades ago. While she’s still looking for love, she’s admitted to having a few hiccups along the way regarding the dating scene. During a 2017 episode of “Harry” (per PageSix), the “CBS Mornings” host admitted she unknowingly went out to dinner with a man who was married, only to discover it during the middle of their meal.
“So I’m out to dinner and he’s talking and then he said something about ‘my wife’ and I said, ‘Wait, wait, wait, your wife? You have a wife?’ He goes, ‘Yeah.'” The man explained to King that he and his wife had been living in the same house while separated, but didn’t have any plans to divorce. “And I was like, ‘Check, please, I know that story,'” King recalled.
Despite the disastrous date, King is still looking for love. The anchorwoman admitted on an episode of “The Pivot Podcast” (via People), that being such a high-profile television personality has posed a challenge in her love life. “What’s difficult is that people say, ‘Oh, you’re so intimidating,'” she said, adding she hopes to find someone who can adapt to her fast-paced lifestyle. “You want somebody who has a sense of humor, who’s very secure, who’s not intimidated by whatever all of this is, that just sees you for you.”
