Oprah Winfrey is finally moving in with long time beau Stedman Graham after twenty years of dating. Oprah has bought a new house and it looks like Stedman can finally quit paying for his own place.

Could this be the first step towards marriage?

Insiders tell Life & Style that Oprah and Stedman could finally be ready to walk down the isle. “At Oprah’s age she no longer feels she has to prove anything about being a strong single woman,” says one insider. “She’s happy to let Stedman have what he wants.â€?

While the rep downplays talk of nuptials, the insider says Chicago would be the frontrunner for the wedding location — and Oprah just bought the perfect love nest there: a $6 million, 5,000-square-foot apartment!

Stedman knows who wears the pants in his relationship with Oprah. He also is no idiot considering the hundreds of millions of dollars that Winfrey is worth.

Is this a move to try to halt the gay rumors that continue to grow about Oprah and Gayle? Twenty years with the same person without shacking up has to be a record……but does it tell even more about Harpo than meets the eye?
