Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King recently addressed rumors about their sexuality in an interview with Melinda French Gates.
They discussed the long friendship they share and how, over the years, people have frequently speculated that they are a couple.
Winfrey commented that she has often felt misunderstood, as their bond is based on a deep friendship that people are not accustomed to seeing between women.

“You know, for years people have said that we were lesbians, and listen, we’ve always confronted that. And people may still think that.”
King revealed that the rumors have affected her personal life, as the confusion even made it difficult to get a date. They both agreed that honesty is key in their relationship, and that, unlike many others who flatter Winfrey, King feels comfortable being candid with her.
“I used to tell Oprah: ‘You need to do a show about this, because it’s already hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we’re lesbians. If we were, we would tell you!’”
