Alicia Keys is madly in love! But she’s still maintaining total secrecy about her relationship - acting on advice from none other than chat show host Oprah Winfrey.

The singer has been romantically linked with her producer but would only tell Giant magazine: “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!”

In a world of 24×7 paparazzi and celebrity gossip columns, it’s impressive Alicia has managed to keep the identity of her partner secret for so long.

Whoever the person is, Alicia is more forthcoming about the strength of the love connection: “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.”
