Oprah and Stedman, 65, have been dating since 1986, and when speaking with TV show runner Shonda Rhimes last year on SuperSoul Sunday, the 62-year-old star revealed when she first realized she didn't want to get married. "The moment he asked me to marry him, I was like 'Oh, God! Now I actually have to get married?'" she recalled, saying that her and Stedman agreed to postpone their wedding and then never spoke of it again. "But what I realized is, I don't want to be married."

Oprah added, "Because I could not have the life that I created for myself. I couldn't do it."
After 30 years together, Oprah and Stedman are still keeping the romance alive. Last week, the Queen of Talk shared with ET a sexy tip that she'll be sharing with her guy.
