A new unauthorized biography of Oprah written by Kitty Kelly (who else?) says they briefly dated while they were both working at the same TV station in Nashville.
But Tesh couldn't handle the pressures of an interracial relationship in the 1970s South.
"He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn't take it anymore," one of Tesh's unnamed ex-girlfriends told Kelley. "He walked out in the middle of the night. ... He told me he later felt very guilty about it."
Now that the news has leaked Tesh confirms the story: "Oprah and I were cub reporters in Nashville nearly 40 years ago and we dated for a short time. We remain friends to this day.”
Tesh refused to confirm reports that he wrote the "NBA on NBC" theme song while lamenting his lost love.
