Barbara Walters: Interview with Oprah Winfrey for 'Oprah: The Next Chapter' Special (12/9/10)
Barbara Walters Interview With Oprah: The Truth About Stedman, Gayle and More!
In the candid Barbara Walters interview, Oprah Winfrey waxed sentimental about her tenure as a talk show host, but admitted the pace she's kept for the past 25 years has been an "exhausting" one. Oprah also confessed she was glad she and Stedman never married, as it may have changed things. She also said she had no regrets about not having children. "I could not have had this life [while raising children]," Oprah explained to Barbara Walters.
When Barbara Walters asked Oprah if she was still in love with Stedman Graham, Oprah chuckled as she described him as the love of her life. Oprah called Stedman "the love, the lover, the partner, the mate." Oprah and Stedman currently live together in a duplex overlooking Lake Michigan, but will move to Oprah's palatial Santa Barbara estate, which encompasses more than 42,000 acres, when she is finished with the Oprah Winfrey show.
The Gayle King lesbian rumors were addressed, and Oprah repeated how ridiculous the whole idea is. Oprah described Gayle as, "The mother I never had, the sister everybody would want, and the friend everybody deserves."
Before the Oprah show concludes next year, Oprah will launch her own network in partnership with Discovery, called O.W.N.: the Oprah Winfrey Network. Though she expects it to be hard work, and admitted she was scared of failing at her new venture, Oprah also expects her pace to relax.
The Barbara Walters interview with Oprah also touched on weight, which Oprah said she was done focusing on. "I will never diet again," the queen of talk told Walters. "[I am more] than my thighs."
