Oprah Winfrey is a huge name in the media, and everyone knows about her close friendship with Gayle King. Now, they are finally talking about some rumors that have been going around for a while.
Oprah Winfrey recently did something unusual: She talked about a rumor that’s been bothering her for a while. She was interviewed with her best friend Gayle King by Melinda Gates for her ‘Moments That Make Us’ series.
In the series, Oprah and Gayle talked about a long-standing rumor that they are secretly in a relationship.
Oprah said people have been asking about her and Gayle’s relationship for years. At one point, Gayle even asked Oprah to do a show to prove they weren’t romantically involved because it was affecting Gayle’s dating life.
Oprah thinks people aren’t used to seeing two women with such a close, honest bond. When they do, they often assume the women must be secretly in a romantic relationship.
Gayle said she thought every woman had a close relationship with another woman like she does with Oprah, where they care deeply about each other’s success, even more than their own.
The rumors about them have been around for a while. This isn’t the first time Oprah has talked about them. A few years ago, Andy Cohen asked Oprah about her sexuality, and she firmly denied the rumors.
Andy Cohen asked Oprah if she had ever been romantically involved with a woman, and Oprah firmly said no. Later, Cohen said he regretted asking that question.
Oprah and Gayle have said that if there were anything going on between them, they would tell the public. Since there isn’t, they’re not keeping any secrets.
