Oprah Winfrey announced her engagement to longtime companion Stedman Graham on Friday.

"It's does scare me a little bit, the whole idea of being married to somebody for the rest of your life," she told her friend, reporter Gayle King, in an interview on WFSB-TV in Hartford, Conn."You don't want to wake up 10 years from now and say, `My God, who is this I've married?' So it scares me a little bit, but I think it's the right thing to do."

Winfrey, 38, has dated Graham for six years. He is a businessman with holdings in media and real estate. No wedding date has been set.
