However, despite their lengthy relationship, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have never married — even though they were once engaged. "The moment after I said yes to his proposal, I had doubts. I realized I didn't actually want a marriage. I wanted to be asked," Winfrey wrote for Oprah Magazine. "I 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." Makes sense to us!
The secret to their long-term success? According to Graham, it works because they want the best for one another. Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he revealed, "I'm dedicated to her happiness ... I want her to be the best she can possibly be and she's done a pretty good job of doing it." He went on to note that when both members of a relationship are "able to self-actualize their potential," it makes all the difference. As he put it, "one and one equals about six." Sage words.
