Gayle King diz que rumores de romance com Oprah a incomodavam antigamente

28 de maio de 2026

Gayle King abordou os antigos rumores sobre um relacionamento amoroso com Oprah Winfrey durante uma participação recente em um podcast. A apresentadora do CBS Mornings, de 71 anos, disse que a especulação chegou a afetar sua vida pessoal após seu divórcio em 1993. Ela acrescentou que já não se importa mais com tais alegações.

No podcast Call Her Daddy, King disse à apresentadora Alex Cooper que os rumores começaram após seu divórcio de William Bumpus. Ela relembrou que o tabloide The National Enquirer sugeriu que sua separação teria sido causada por um relacionamento secreto com Winfrey. King declarou: “Se fôssemos gays, nós contaríamos, porque, acredite em mim, não há nada de errado nisso. É apenas que eu prefiro homens”.
