When it comes to celebrity BFFs, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are considered among the OGs. The pair have been close for nearly 50 years after they met while working together at a Baltimore news station in 1976. The two have remained close, and like best friends do, continue to rely on each other for advice and support. But if you think Gayle gets tired of people asking her about her uberfamous bestie, think again.

“I never get sick of being asked about Oprah because I so love that she is loved the way she is,” King told Newsweek in a March 2024 interview.
