Oprah Winfrey & Gayle King Address Rumors They’re in a Relationship
Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are being super honest.
After years of speculation of whether the duo—who have been best friends for nearly 50 years—are in a romantic relationship, the journalists addressed the chatter.
“For years people used to say we were gay,” Oprah recalled in an interview alongside Gayle with Melinda Gates July 25. “We were up against that for forever. People still think that.”
And Gayle interjected on how it has affected their dating life.
“I used to say, ‘You’ve got to do a show on this,’” Gayle added. “Because it’s hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we’re gay.”
Gayle—who shares kids Kirby, 38, and William Jr., 37, with ex William Bumpus—emphasized the friends’ candidness noting, “If we were gay, we would tell you.”
Meanwhile, Oprah noted that she understands their friendship is a rarity.
“Maybe people aren’t accustomed to seeing women with this kind of truth bond,” the 70-year-old explained. “The reason why I think our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier—not happy—for me in any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself.”
