Martha Stewart, the iconic home and garden expert, has revealed a personal bombshell—she had a secret affair during her marriage to Andrew Stewart. In a conversation at her book launch on Wednesday, the 83-year-old claimed it was “very easy” to keep her decades-long affair hidden, emphasizing the importance of being “circumspect” when managing such secrets.
The revelation came during a conversation with businessman Lee Brian Schrager, who jokingly suggested the affair could be the subject of her next book. Stewart had already disclosed the affair earlier this month in the trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary, Martha. When asked if her husband ever knew, she responded, “I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”
Stewart’s marriage to Andrew Stewart, her only husband, lasted from 1961 until their divorce in 1990. In the documentary trailer, she offered advice to young women, stating, “If your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s—. Get out of that marriage.” Her blunt comments, combined with her revelation of having an affair herself, have sparked debate among fans and critics alike.
While Stewart downplayed the difficulty of keeping the affair secret, some have expressed surprise and disappointment. Her story has reignited conversations about infidelity and the double standards that often accompany it, especially in the public eye.
In addition to her personal disclosure, Stewart’s Netflix documentary will cover her rise in the lifestyle industry, her status as the first self-made female billionaire, and her well-publicized legal battles. The documentary is set to give fans a deeper look at Stewart’s life, both personal and professional.
Stewart’s latest comments, combined with the documentary’s focus on her affair and success, have intrigued and shocked many, leading some to question whether the beloved lifestyle guru will face lasting backlash for her personal revelations. As the documentary’s release date approaches, it seems likely that this part of Stewart’s story will remain a hot topic of discussion.
