Holding It Down! 15 Secrets of Celeb Couples Who’ve Stayed Together For Years

15. Oprah Winfrey & Stedman Graham

These two have proven that long lasting happiness can come in the form of a “non-traditional” relationship…one that does not include marriage or children. While most men and women believe that having a marriage certificate makes your commitment “real”, Oprah and Stedman show us that marriage is not for everyone, yet their union is no less loving  and their commitment is just as strong, if not more so, than those who have chosen to walk down the aisle. They’ve been together for over 20 years, and in an interview with Piers Morgan, Oprah shared that the reason their relationship works so well is because “we each got to define ourselves in it and not in a traditional form.” She also maintains that keeping the details of their relationship private has definitely been the key to their success as a couple. Word to the wise – keep your relationship business to yourself!
