During a candid conversation, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, the famous best friend pair, shared funny details about their fun drinking contest, showing that their friendship is unbreakable. For decades, they’ve been media powerhouses. They’ve put an end to rumors and shared laughs over tequila showdowns that show how fun they are together. Oprah said with confidence that she could outdrink Gayle, and her friend didn’t deny it.
The news came out during a CNN talk show in March 2024 about “King Charles,” when Oprah said, “I can outdrink you,” and Gayle agreed, “She’s not lying.” Oprah said, “I can out-tequila almost anyone!” and Barkley invited her to a tequila night out. Their friendship, which began in the 1970s when they were both journalists in Baltimore, is based on happiness. Gayle cheers for Oprah’s wins more than anyone else.
Rumors of a long-term romance? People aren’t used to “women with such a real bond,” Oprah says. They said on Melinda French Gates’ podcast, “If we were gay, we’d tell you.” After winning her own Emmys and anchoring for CBS, Gayle says Oprah makes her feel “illuminated,” not overshadowed.
