Washington, Dec 14th, 2007 - Singer Alicia Keys cannot disobey Oprah Winfrey, especially when it comes to talking about her love life.
In a recent interview with Giant magazine, the 26-year-old singer revealed that the talk show queen had advised her to maintain total secrecy about her relationships.
Hence, when Keys was asked about her rumored romance with her producer, she replied: "That's what they've been saying for a while now, but I don't usually address that question. Oprah told me never to tell and I can't disobey Oprah!"
However, the American R&B and soul singer did admit that she has found a perfect partner for herself.
"I definitely found my partner. I know he is somebody who will always be special to me and that we're always going to be in each other's lives, People quoted her, as saying.
She also owned up to her secretive nature during the initial stages of a relationship.
"It's my nature to let them show me who they are first before I show them who I am. But once I'm in love with somebody, I'm the best girlfriend you could ever have, she said.
But the Grammy Award winner said that her tendency to hold back had been emotionally draining at times, especially when she battled depression.
"I was feeling so sad all the time, and I couldn't shake it", she says. "I started burying my feelings, and it got to a point where I couldn't even tell my family or my friends, "I'm twisted", or "I'm exhausted", or "I'm so angry". "I became a master of putting up the wall so that I was unreadable", she said.
