Oprah says she doesn’t have a lot of friends

How many friends do you have? Maybe you have more friends than Oprah.

During a recent episode of the Make room with Hoda Kotb podcast, the television legend – along with longtime best friend Maria Shriver – explained that she didn’t have “many friends.”

“You know, I’ve made friends with a few people later in my adult life over the past five years…” she said after saying that she “never really expanded” her team. restricted “until recently”.

She then named who this inner circle has been for so long: Shriver, Gayle King (of course) and personal trainer Bob Greene. “That’s about it, you know?” She said, before pointing out that she has been friends with King and Shriver for 42 years now.

Oprah also described the “spiritual connection” that took place when she and Shriver first met: “I first met her in the bathroom. [while working at] WJZ-TV early in the morning. I came to do the morning clippings and she was doing the evening magazine and had been up all night. [She] was in the bathroom, literally splashing water on her face, and we started a conversation. “

“I forever think it was a divine moment that came about because she was one of my true, lifelong friendships that have carried me throughout my career.”
