Oprah Winfrey is convinced many people still think she's in a secret relationship with Gayle King .
The 70-year-old TV titan has faced years of false rumours suggesting she's romantically involved with her best friend even though she's been dating businessman Stedman Graham since the 1980s. Oprah believes the gossip may never fully go away.
During an appearance on Melinda Gates' show, Moments That Make Us You Tube series, Oprah explained: 'I think we've shared pretty much everything and I would have to say, it wasn't even a matter of navigation. For years, people used to say we were gay, and listen, we were up against that forever. And people still may think it.'
Gayle then joked: 'I used to say to Oprah : 'You gotta do a show on this because it's hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we're gay'. Because if we were gay, we'd tell you!'
Oprah went on to insist she believes the rumours started because it was previously unusual to see two women have such a close friendship.
