Gayle King has been best friend’s with Oprah since 1976. Gayle and Oprah are so close that in her 1981 suicide note, Oprah asked Gayle if she would continue to water her plants. Oprah has always been skeptical of newcomers in her life once she was successful, so its no wonder so trusts Gayle so much!

But such a deep bond and friendship comes with rumors. Many have speculated over the years that the two may be more than just friends. Oprah has always been aware of the rumors the two are gay, and has simply argued that “there isn’t a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women.”
