Born in 1954, in Kosciusko, Mississippi, Oprah Gail Winfrey is a renowned businesswoman and television host who, for more than two decades, has managed to keep her show's followers glued to their television screens. The American has developed her professional career with very high levels of popularity.
As far as her professional life is concerned, it is well known almost since her first steps in the world of communication. Oprah has worked in important publications and, over the years, has come to be considered one of the most influential and powerful people on an international level. However, we do not know so much about her personal life and, for this reason, from The Look we give you all the information you need to know her husband, the person with whom she has been sharing her life for a long time.
Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham, a happy marriage
It was 1986 when Oprah's life, unbeknownst to her, was about to change completely. Then, she was 32 when fate crossed her with Stedman Graham, who was 35 years old.
Graham was born in 1951, in Whitesboro, New York, and is a writer and entrepreneur. His childhood was marked by racism of which, during the presentation of his book 'Identity Leadership', he said that he had grown up "with a lot of negativity and anger. I would go to a store and I was always the last to be served. I always felt inadequate and wondered why I couldn't be an equal."
He is a successful writer
Although for years he had to fight against the obstacles that stood between his professional career and success, the reality is that Graham has established himself as an important writer.
Previously, he worked as a college professor and started his own business. In 1985, he founded a non-profit organization to help young people access education and a healthy lifestyle through sports, AAD (Athletes Against Drugs).
Today, he is president and CEO of S. Graham & Associates, a consulting and leadership development firm that works with major companies worldwide.
As a writer, he began writing in 1995 and has since published a total of 12 books. The main theme of these books is mainly self-help and motivational aspects of overcoming life's obstacles. In addition, he has written several publications aimed at entrepreneurs who want to start a business from scratch.
Three decades of love
From the moment Oprah and Graham's lives crossed paths, more than 30 years have passed. Despite this, the couple has never married and both claim that this has been the secret for them to have been able to maintain a stable relationship for so long.
However, this is not an argument that convinces everyone. For the most romantic, the success of this story is that both met at the right time for the flame to be lit between them. True love coincided in that instant and has lived on for more than three decades.
