It seems 26 years on in 2018, the pair had a change of heart.

"Absolutely no-one saw it coming," a source told the magazine. "Stedman and Oprah really value their love and life together and they wanted to be able to share this moment in a really simple, private way that honoured that."

Apparently part of the reason the pair chose to wed is Oprah's potential bid for president in 2020.

"Having Stedman by her side as her husband instead of her boyfriend would strengthen her chance with the conservative American voters," the insider told the publication.

However, representatives for Oprah confirmed to Be these claims are completely untrue.

Following Oprah's incredible Time's Up speech at this year's Golden Globes, the campaign for her to run for the 2020 presidency has emerged with full force.

However, the former queen of daytime television recently admitted in an interview on 60 Minutes that she has no plans on running.

"I am actually humbled by the fact that people think that I could be a leader of the free world, but it's just not in my spirit," she said. "It's not in my DNA."
