AceShowbiz - Oprah Winfrey has gone all out to celebrate her best friend Gayle King's 70th birthday, hosting multiple surprise parties and filling the occasions with heartwarming moments. On Saturday, December 28, King celebrated her actual birthday with another surprise from Winfrey.
As friends and family sang "Happy Birthday," Winfrey surprised her with an unexpected guest, Tyler Perry. Winfrey joked that she was done scaring King after previously apologizing for nearly giving her a "heart attack" with her earlier surprise party. However, Perry playfully scolded Winfrey to stop scaring his friend.
Winfrey's initial surprise party for King took place on December 14, two weeks before her actual birthday. The lavish bash featured over 100 guests singing "Happy Birthday" and a bar cart filled with tequila shots. Winfrey captured the moment King unknowingly walked into her own party and shared it on social media.
Despite King expressing her desire for a low-key celebration, Winfrey refused to let her friend's milestone birthday pass without fanfare. Winfrey posted a video of the surprise party on Instagram, showing King's shock and joy as she was greeted by her loved ones.
In interviews, King expressed her gratitude for Winfrey's thoughtful surprises. She was particularly impressed by the way Winfrey managed to keep the plans a secret, despite gathering such a large group of guests. King noted that having both her son and daughter present at the surprise made her initially suspect something was up.
Winfrey's over-the-top birthday celebrations for King are a testament to their close friendship spanning over 50 years. Their bond is evident in the heartfelt moments captured during the festivities and the shared joy and laughter they experience together.
