TV host Gayle King has once again addressed rumors that she is romantically involved with Oprah Winfrey, saying the speculation has circulated for decades because of the close bond between the two women.
During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, King explained that the rumors gained momentum after her divorce, when tabloids claimed that she and Oprah were secretly in a relationship and that it had been the reason for the separation.
“First of all, if we were gay, we would tell you, because, believe me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s just that I prefer men,” the journalist said.
Although she admitted that the rumors used to bother her, Gayle said she considers their friendship something rare and special, noting that their bond has remained strong for decades despite their demanding careers and busy schedules.

Rumors of a possible romance have followed Oprah and Gayle since the 1990s, mainly because they are frequently seen together in interviews, public events, and on trips.
Oprah has denied the speculation several times in the past. Today, both women choose not to be bothered by such comments and instead focus on the lasting friendship they have built over the years.
“The truth is… I don’t care. I’ve reached a point in my life where very few things affect me. Because when you go on social media, it’s an accelerator for hate,” Gayle added.
