In a heartwarming tale of love and commitment, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have revealed how they have managed to stay in love despite never getting married. The couple — who called off their engagement in 1992 due to Winfrey’s dedication to her show — have found unique ways to keep their relationship alive.
According to People, the couple has a “spiritual partnership” that has stood the test of time. In a recent interview, Winfrey shared the most romantic gesture she does for Graham and it involves food.
It was reported that her “most romantic” gesture for Graham is making hot water cornbread. She explained that this simple dish holds a special significance as it is a staple in many households, with mothers around the world feeding their children with the Southern staple.
To make the cornbread, all Winfrey does is add hot water to the meal, make little flat cakes and fry them in a pan. This gesture not only showcases Winfrey’s love for Graham but also highlights the importance of shared experiences and traditions in their relationship.
Winfrey also mentioned the way Graham shows his love as well.
“The most romantic thing he does for me at this point is going to the corner every Sunday and getting the New York Times and bringing it into me,” Winfrey said in an interview with People.
Despite not being married, Winfrey and Graham have found a way to keep the romance alive through small, meaningful gestures like this.
Their enduring love story serves as a reminder that commitment and love can thrive in unconventional ways, proving that marriage is not the only measure of a successful partnership.
