Talk show host, Oprah Winfrey has shared the picture of her first Oprah Magazine cover and it shows her with her best friend, Gayle King.
In the accompanying post, Oprah Winfrey revealed that the reason her friendship with Gayle King has lasted 40 years is simply because they have always been happy with their lives.
According to her, a true friend will never be jealous of you and will never attempt to take advantage of you in any way.
She wrote:
“I can’t tell you how many times people have introduced me to their best friends as, “She’s my Gayle.” The reason our friendship has worked for over 40 years, without arguments or fallouts, is that we’ve always been happy with our own lives. A true friend can’t be jealous of you, or want to take advantage of you in any way. Ever since we met in 1976, we’ve been doing the same thing. Listening. Talking. Laughing (a lot). Building dreams. Cheering. Being a shoulder to cry on. Speaking the truth. Being the truth. And now? Posing for our FIRST @oprahmagazine cover for September’s friendship issue“.
