She says the tradition has continued since he was a child because “he LOVES the biscuits,” so they’ve seen no reason to stop.
“What were you doing on this day 32 years ago TODAY at 1:50 pm?” King wrote in the caption of her post. “I was giving birth to fav son @willgb3m,” tagging Will’s Instagram profile. Will’s father is William Bumpus Sr., a Connecticut-based attorney whom King was married to from 1982 to 1993.
