Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King addressed longstanding rumors about their relationship, clarifying they're not secretly lovers. In a recent interview with Melinda Gates on Moments That Make Us, they laughed about public speculation. King joked about the impact of this rumor on her dating life, saying, “It’s hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we’re gay!” She also said "If we were gay, we would tell you!" Both women have been in long-term relationships with men. However, their close friendship sparked rumors the late ’90s and early 2000s. #Queer Up Gay Culture
