Oprah Winfrey is spilling the beans on her oh-so-romantic life with her longtime partner in crime, Stedman Graham!
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the 69-year-old media queen and the 72-year-old business wizard have been joined at the hip for a whopping four decades, ever since fate played Cupid at a charity shindig in 1986.
Prepare to be swept off your feet because in a recent interview, Oprah spilled the beans on the sizzling secrets behind the couple’s epic romance.
Hold onto your cornbread, because according to Oprah, the pinnacle of romance in their household involves none other than… hot water cornbread! Yes, you heard it right. The high priestess of media magic transforms simple ingredients—cornmeal, water, and oil—into pan-fried love discs. Move over, roses and chocolates, we’ve got hot water cornbread in town.
With the enthusiasm of a culinary Casanova, Oprah gushed, “Mothers around the world feed their children on it, and all you do is add the hot water to the meal and you make these little flat cakes and you fry them in a pan.” And if that doesn’t scream romance, well, then clearly you’ve been frying your cornbread wrong.
Oprah didn’t stop there; she declared, “Every time I do it, it’s like the most romantic thing I’ve ever done.” Move over, heart-shaped confessions, because nothing says “I love you” like a perfectly fried cornbread concoction.
Now, let’s talk about Stedman’s grand gesture of affection. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, because Stedman’s weekly pilgrimage to the corner store is nothing short of Shakespearean. According to Oprah, the 72-year-old knight in shining armor gallantly retrieves The New York Times every Sunday and presents it to her like it’s the Holy Grail.
Picture this: Stedman, decked out in armor made of old newspapers, boldly braves the mean streets to fetch the sacred scrolls of newsprint. With the wind in his hair and a look of determination only rivaled by a warrior on a quest, he returns triumphantly to Oprah, offering her the precious tome with the gravitas of a knight bestowing a royal decree.
Hot water cornbread and the Sunday paper: the dynamic duo of Oprah and Stedman’s love story. Move over, Romeo and Juliet; there’s a new romantic saga in town, and it’s frying up a storm!
