Amid the 2020 quarantine, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham's relationship is stronger than ever.
"The moment after I said yes to his proposal, I had doubts," she wrote."I realized I didn't actually want a marriage. I wanted to beI wanted to know he felt I was worthy of being his missus, but I didn't want the sacrifices, the compromises, the day-in-day-out commitment required to make a marriage work. My life with the show was my priority, and we both knew it. He and I agree that had we tied the marital knot, we would not still be together.
"At one point in Chicago I had bought an additional apartment because I was thinking, 'I'm going to need room for children,'" Winfrey toldEventually, she said she didn't have the proper focus to devote to raising a child. "I used to think about this all the time, that I was working these 17-hour days, and so were my producers, and then I go home and I have my two dogs and I have Stedman, who's letting me be who I need to be in the world," she toldin her 2019 interview."He's never demanding anything from me like, 'Where's my breakfast? Where's my dinner?’ Never any of that, which I believed would have changed had we married.
Graham stressed that focusing on his own interests and path has helped him and Winfrey remain on equal footing all these years.
