Oprah Winfrey Glad She Never Married

Oprah Winfrey has been with her partner Stedman Graham since 1968, but has revealed she is glad they never married.

The pair live together and have established a healthy working relationship, without the pressures of marriage.

Speaking to People magazine, Oprah explained: "I used to think about this all the time, that I was working these 17-hour days, and so were my producers, and then I go home and I have my two dogs and I have Stedman, who's letting me be who I need to be in the world.

"He's never demanding anything from me like, 'Where's my breakfast? Where's my dinner?' Never any of that, which I believed would have changed had we married.

"No question about it -- we would not stay married, because of what that would have meant to him, and I would have had my own ideas about it. I have not had one regret about that."

Despite never becoming a mother, the 65-year-old admitted there was a point when she considered the prospect, and even upsized her apartment for more space.

However, working on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' brought lessons on the "depth of responsibility and sacrifice" required for motherhood, which made the star second guess her decision.

She explained: "I realised, 'Whoa, I'm talking to a lot of messed-up people, and they are messed up because they had mothers and fathers who were not aware of how serious that job is.'

"I don't have the ability to compartmentalise the way I see other women do. It is why, throughout my years, I have had the highest regard for women who choose to be at home with their kids, because I don't know how you do that all day long. Nobody gives women the credit they deserve."
