Queen of TV,Oprah Winfrey, andlong-time partner Stedman Grahamhave been together for over 35 years.
According toVanity Fair,Winfrey and Graham first set eyes on each other at a charity event in 1986.
However, as Winfrey recalled toOprah Magazine, Graham “was always with the same girlfriend.”
(Yes, I drank a lot of beer then and wore cowboy boots every day.)"
“Tall and handsome, for sure,” Winfrey continued.
“But actually too handsome, I thought, to be interested in me.”
Boy, how wrong she was!
“The moment after I said yes to his proposal, I had doubts.
I realized I didn’t actually want a marriage.
I wanted to beasked,” Winfrey wrote forOprah Magazine.
My life with the show was my priority, and we both knew it."
Makes sense to us!
The secret to their long-term success?
According to Graham, it works because they want the best for one another.
Speaking onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, he revealed, “I’m dedicated to her happiness … As he put it, “one and one equals about six.”
