Renowned media executive Oprah Winfrey and her long-time best friend, Gayle King, have unequivocally denied rumors of a romantic relationship between them. In a recent interview with Melinda French Gates on her "Moments That Make Us" series, the duo addressed the speculation surrounding their nearly five-decade friendship.
During the conversation, King emphatically stated, "If we were gay, we'd tell you!" Winfrey echoed this sentiment, attributing the strength of their bond to the absence of jealousy and competition. The two friends have been the subject of romantic speculation for years, with many wondering about the nature of their relationship.
Winfrey and King's friendship originated in the 1970s when they worked together at a Baltimore news station. Their connection deepened after Winfrey invited King to stay with her during a snowstorm, marking the beginning of a lifelong companionship.
When asked about the secret to their enduring friendship, Winfrey highlighted King's unwavering support, saying, "Gayle is happier, not happy, but happier for me for any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself." King reciprocated this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of honesty in their relationship. She joked, "In Oprah's life, everybody is always very flattering and is always very agreeable with things that she says. And sometimes I'll just go, 'That's just not true. Your hair does not look good'."
