Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have built a lasting partnership on their own terms.
The pair met at a charity event in 1986, the same year The Oprah Winfrey Show made its debut. Though they later got engaged, Winfrey and Graham ultimately chose not to walk down the aisle — a decision Winfrey has credited with helping their relationship thrive over the past 40 years.
"He and I agree that had we tied the marital knot, we would not still be together," she wrote in a January 2020 issue of Oprah Daily.
Instead, Winfrey has described what she and Graham share as a "spiritual partnership," borrowing a term from author Gary Zukav.
"Our relationship works because he created an identity beyond being 'Oprah's man.' ... And because we share all the values that matter (integrity being number one)," Winfrey wrote. "And because we relish seeing the other fulfill and manifest their destiny and purpose."
