5. OPRAH WINFREY & STEDMAN GRAHAM

The other couples' engagement time is nothing compared to Oprah Winfrey and her life partner, Stedman Graham. The pair have been engaged for almost 30 years. Winfrey and Graham have been engaged since 1992.

It seems a wedding might not be in the cards for the couple as Winfrey once said that she was happy she was not married as she believed that if the couple did get married, they would have divorced soon after.
