The conspiracy theories on the nature of Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King have been an ongoing conversation, but the successful powerhouse besties are here to set the record straight. 

If you’re still wondering if Winfrey and King are a queer couple, they put those rumors to rest in a sit-down interview with Melinda Gates on her "Moments That Make Us" series. 

“You know, for years, people used to say we were gay, and listen, we were up against that forever. And people still may think it,” Winfrey shared with the host. 

Winfrey also adds that she feels the rumors swirl about their relationship because people are not used to seeing “aren’t used to seeing women with this kind of truth bond.”

“The reason why I think our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier, not happy, but happier for me for any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself. And I feel as happy as she does — I can’t be happier than, cannot surpass Gayle. You cannot out-happy her. I am equally as happy for her.”

King hilariously comments on the topic, “I used to say Oprah, ‘You gotta do a show on this, because it’s hard enough for me to get a date on Saturday night with people thinking we’re gay.’ Because if we were gay, we’d tell you!”

“I just assumed everybody had a really good friend,” King continued.

“I just assumed every woman – maybe not for men – but I just assumed every woman had at least one.”
