Oprah Winfrey  has opened up about why she never got married or had children. In an interview with  People Magazine for its Women Changing the World issue , Oprah Winfrey says although marriage and motherhood weren’t exactly in her cards, she did consider it at one time. “At one point in Chicago I had bought an additional apartment because I was thinking, Well, if we get married, I’m going to need room for children,” Oprah said.

However, because these modifications might affect the functionality of your device, we can't provide support for devices using modified versions of the iPhone's operating system," it added.
