Oprah Winfrey Credits Stedman Graham’s Unwavering Support and GLP‑1 Therapy in New Reflections

The revelations come in excerpts from a coauthored book due Jan. 13, which traces her weight journey alongside Graham’s steady role.

Overview

  • In a new People cover story, Winfrey says Graham has been supportive throughout their nearly 40-year relationship, including when she weighed 200 pounds at the time they met.
  • Winfrey confirms she has used a GLP‑1 medication for about two and a half years, saying it quieted obsessive thoughts about food and improved her energy, clarity and relationships.
  • She recalls feeling self-conscious at a 1988 Mike TysonMichael Spinks fight and at the 1992 Daytime Emmys, when she says she weighed 237 pounds and feared walking onstage.
  • Her forthcoming book, Enough: Your Health, Your Weight and What It’s Like to Be Free, coauthored with obesity expert Dr. Ania M. Jastreboff, is scheduled for release on Jan. 13.
  • Additional coverage notes the couple’s brief 1993 engagement and Winfrey’s view that marrying then might have jeopardized their enduring partnership.
