She responded by saying: 'Oprah Winfrey. She always does the right thing - even when no one is looking.'

The friendship between the pair has long lead to rumors of a relationship between the two but King has shot those down time and time again, saying in a 2011 interview with TV Guide: 'In the beginning, it used to bother me. Like, "Oh, my God, I don't want people to think I'm gay - I'm trying to get a date!"

'But now I don't care. I've given up trying to figure that out. At this stage, if you still think that, it's on you.' 

Gayle and Oprah showed off their pajamas for the first time back in early November

The group celebrated the holiday last year with mote people and warmer weather in Hawaii 

Oprah meanwhile continues to give Gayle her honest opinion at all turns, most recently telling her how little she cared for a necklace she was wearing on her CBS show.

Gayle posted a photo of her look on Instagram and wrote: 'Note @oprah sent to my asst this am "plz tell Gayle I'm on treadmill & it's hard to focus w/the circus around your neck" I think she's WRONG thoughts?'

She also wore a statement necklace a few days later for a meeting with Oprah in hopes of changing her mind on the oversized accessory, but it did not appear to work.
