Oprah Winfrey made a rare appearance with her longtime love, Stedman Graham, as she celebrated the 40th anniversary of her hit series, The Oprah Winfrey Show, in Chicago. During an interview on the Goop podcast, Oprah revealed that she even sought advice from poet Maya Angelou on how to deal with the noise. "It's also why I stopped making as many public appearances with Stedman because I realized that every time there's a new photograph, there's a new story." Despite this decision, Stedman is devoted to Oprah and has been for 40 years. Stedman is a businessman, author and public speaker, and runs his own marketing firm.
