Oprah Winfrey & Stedman Graham

Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham are excellent examples of a genuine partnership. These two are not married, but they have remained together for 35 years. While they could have afforded to fund a lavish wedding, they had chosen not to wed. For them, tying the knot would only make things more complicated. They believe that their relationship may not have lasted if they had gotten hitched, so they had chosen to live at ease and save themselves from potentially calling their lawyers.

Winfrey and Graham started dating in 1986 after meeting each other while visiting a sick mutual friend. In 1992, he popped the question, and although the famed TV personality accepted, they chose to stay unmarried.
