Oprah Winfrey, Partner Stedman Graham Make Rare Appearance Together

The couple joined Chef Art Smith at Reunion as Winfrey marked the 40th anniversary of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

  • Media mogul Oprah Winfrey and longtime partner Stedman Graham appeared at Navy Pier in Chicago to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Oprah Winfrey Show, marking their first public outing in almost seven years.

  • Transforming daytime television, The Oprah Winfrey Show launched in 1986, establishing a lasting media empire. Winfrey, now 72, continues to influence pop culture through her enduring legacy and recent reflections on career inspirations.
