The gym sighting comes after Oprah cleared up long-standing rumors about her friendship with her best friend Gayle King, 69.
During a recent appearance on the Melinda Gates show Moments that make usThe media mogul reflected on her decades-long friendship with King.
The two women have been dogged by rumors that they are secretly lesbians for years.
“I think we’ve shared pretty much everything and I have to say it wasn’t even a navigational issue,” the daytime TV legend said.
For years, people would say that we were gay, and I heard that we always faced that. And there are still people who might think the same.
King joked that she used to ask Oprah to do a show clarifying that they were just friends because “it was hard enough for her” to get a date on Saturday night without people thinking they were together.
“If we were gay, we would tell you,” King assured viewers.
As for what she thinks fuels speculation that they are more than just friends, Winfrey said it’s because people are “not used to seeing women with this kind of real bond.”
“The reason I think our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier, not happy, but happier for me for any kind of success or victory or challenge that I overcome than I am for myself,” the 20-time Emmy winner said.
He continued: “I feel as happy as she does. I can’t be happier than Gayle, I can’t be happier than her. There’s no one who can be happier than her. I’m just as happy for her.”

Oprah has been in a 35-year relationship with Stedman Graham, 73, while King was married to attorney Bill Bumpus from 1982 to 1993 and they share a daughter, Kirby, and a son, William.
Winfrey noted that even a “hint of jealousy about anything” between friends can ruin a relationship.
“In Oprah’s life, everyone is always very sycophantic and always very much in agreement with the things she says,” King explained.
“And sometimes I just say, ‘That’s not true. Your hair doesn’t look good.'”
