Oprah Winfrey finally addresses rumor that she and Gayle King are secretly a couple

The lifelong friends discussed their true relationship status with Melinda French Gates

Oprah Winfrey has finally addressed the enduring rumors regarding her relationship status with fellow broadcaster Gayle King – claiming she understands why some people ‘may think it’.

On Wednesday (July 24), Winfrey, 70, and 69-year-old King appeared on Melinda French Gates’ Moments That Make Us series.

The candid chat saw the pair discussing their experiences with ageing; lessons they’ve learned throughout their lives and the importance of female friendship.

While reflecting on their lifelong bond, Winfrey also had her say on the longstanding rumor that she and the mother-of-two were a couple.

I think we’ve shared pretty much everything and I would have to say, it wasn’t even a matter of navigation,” she said during the Youtube interview.

“For years, people used to say we were gay, and listen, we were up against that forever. And people still may think it.”

CBS Mornings anchor King agreed and continued: “I used to say to Oprah: ‘You gotta do a show on this because it’s hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we’re gay’.

“Because if we were gay, we’d tell you!”

Winfrey – who has been in a relationship with her long-term partner Stedman Graham since 1986 – went on to explain that she believes the rumors started as people weren’t used to seeing women share such a close bond.

“One of the things I used to think was that people weren’t accustomed to seeing women with this kind of truth bond,” she stated.

“We ended up talking all night long,” the Mississippi native revealed to People in 2022. “We’ve literally been friends ever since.”

In 2006, King told The Oprah Magazine that she had ‘never met’ anybody like her friend while Winfrey claimed they’d bonded over both being ‘the odd girl out’.

“We didn’t fit into everybody else’s perception of what it’s like to be a Black girl,” she said.

“But we still had a very strong sense of being Black and were very proud of being Black. So to meet another Black girl like that was, wow!”
