Renowned media entrepreneur and talk show host has stated that she would have divorced If she was married. Winfrey who was a casualty of sexual abuse as a child, made this known in an interview with Vogue.
Oprah and her lover, Stedman Graham have been together for over 30 years, but they never decided to get married.
When asked about her refusal to get married, she said:”Nobody believes it, but it’s true. The only time I brought it up was when I said to Stedman, ‘What would have happened if we had actually gotten married?
“And the answer is: ‘We wouldn’t be together.’ We would not have stayed together, because marriage requires a different way of being in this world.
“His interpretation of what it means to be a husband and what it would mean for me to be a wife would have been pretty traditional, and I would not have been able to fit into that.”
Recall that Winfrey was engaged to be married to Stedman a businessman, in 1996 but they discarded the plan and settled for a “spiritual union”.
