If you are related to someone famous from the entertainment industry and moreover, if the relationship is a romantic one, then you are bound to lose your self-identity somehow and get overshadowed even on your own space.
Such is the case of Stedman Graham, the founder, president, and chief operating officer of S.Graham & Associates. The New York Times bestselling author sometimes gets frustrated when the world only knows him as ‘Oprah’s boyfriend’ or ‘Mr. Oprah’.

Stedman Graham Married To Partner Oprah Winfrey?
Stedman met Oprah Winfrey in 1986 at a charity event in Chicago and started dating the same year when The Oprah Winfrey Show launched.
After years of dating, Stedman proposed to Oprah in the kitchen of their Indiana house in 1992. The pair then got engaged. However, the two have always been against marriage. They have been quoting that they wouldn’t be together if they were married.

Regardless of their 30-beautiful-years together, they rarely make public appearances, and whenever they do, it becomes a big deal. The couple is one of the longest-lasting relationships in Hollywood. That is most probably because they respect each other’s space and ideology.
The two have no children of their own and have always treated their pets as their kids.
Stedman, on the other hand, has a daughter named Wendy from his previous marriage to Glenda Graham; the union ended on a friendly note.
