Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have been together for more than 30 years, but the TV host-actor says they have scarcely discussed walking down the aisle.
In an interview to Vogue, Winfrey says, "Nobody believes it, but it's true. The only time I brought it up was when I said to Stedman, 'What would have happened if we had actually gotten married?'
"And the answer is: 'We wouldn't be together.' We would not have stayed together, because marriage requires a different way of being in this world."
Winfrey, 63, adds, "His interpretation of what it means to be a husband and what it would mean for me to be a wife would have been pretty traditional, and I would not have been able to fit into that."
The television host had shut down wedding rumours last year after reports surfaced that the couple had tied the knot.
