Oprah Winfrey has nothing to hide. And in one of her most intimate interviews to date, the beloved talk show host opens up to Barbara Walters about the leading man in her life — long-time partner Stedman Graham.

But Oprah is setting the record straight, insisting Stedman is the only love in her life and has stood by her in and out of the spotlight.
"Yes. (He's) the love, the lover, the man, the mate (in my life)," the host shares in a TV interview with Barbara Walters airing tonight on ABC.
