Martha Stewart seen for the first time after admitting it was ‘very easy’ to keep affair a secret for 30 years

Martha Stewart was seen on Friday for the first time since she admitted it was “very easy” to keep her cheating a secret for 30 years.

The homemaking expert, 83, confessed to cheating on her ex-husband Andrew Stewart during their wedding in a bombshell trailer for her new Netflix documentary, Martha, and joked about the affair at her book launch party this week.

The star looked chic in a black jumpsuit paired with a burgundy cardigan and leather platform boots.

Her blonde bob was styled in elegant waves and she wore a radiant makeup palette.

The star was seen leaning on a friend’s arm as she walked.

Martha joked about her infidelity when girlfriend Lee Brian Schrager joked, “If you’re looking for ideas [for another book] maybe you can talk about how you [had] an affair that took place thirty years ago and which you kept secret, how is that possible?’

Taking the microphone from Lee’s hand, Martha – who looked very glamorous in a chic gold embroidered jacket and matching trousers – replied with a grin on her face: “Very easy, you have to be observant.”

In her documentary trailer, Martha – who was married to Stewart from 1961 until their divorce in 1990 – gave advice to married women who had been cheated on before a producer called her out for infidelity.

“Young women, listen to my advice: if you’re married and your husband starts cheating on you, he’s a piece of shit. Get out of that marriage,” the television personality said.

“Didn’t you have an affair early on?” the producer joked, to which Martha replied, “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

Martha started dating Andy – who has been her only husband to date – when she was just 19 and he was 23, after they set up a blind date.

At the time he was studying law at Yale. He subsequently entered publishing and is currently publisher emeritus of Fieldstone Publishing, a nature publisher.

The couple was married for nearly three decades after saying “I do” in 1961.

They welcomed one child together, daughter Alexis Stewart, now 59, in 1965.

The couple eventually divorced in 1990.

After her divorce, Martha briefly dated Silence of the Lambs star Anthony Hopkins. She also dated software architect Charles Simonyi for fifteen years, from 1993 to 2008.

In 2023, Martha told E! News that she was single.

After their divorce, Andy married Martha’s former assistant, Robyn Fairclough, who was 21 years his junior. They have since divorced and he remarried again to Shyla Nelson Stewart.

In 2022, Martha called her divorce ‘terrible’ in an interview with People.

“Divorce was a terrible thing for me because we were the first in my family to get divorced,” she said.

At one point in the clip, Martha gave advice to married women who had been cheated on, before a producer called her out for infidelity.

“Young women, listen to my advice: if you’re married and your husband starts cheating on you, he’s a piece of shit. Get out of that marriage,” the television personality said

The couple was married for almost three decades after saying “I do” in 1961. They welcomed one child together, daughter Alexis Stewart, now 59, in 1965. They eventually divorced in 1990.

‘And the fact that we haven’t spoken to each other since the divorce is even more painful. But I am very strong and I am very motivated to continue with life.’

“I survived the rigors of time, of marriage, of having children, of building a business from scratch. I survived it very well and I think I’m making the best of it.’

Martha’s mother, Martha Kostyra, told the story earlier People that the divorce left her daughter “severely injured,” adding, “I don’t think she’ll ever get over it.”

The upcoming documentary follows the lifestyle icon all the way from her teenage years, when she worked as a model, until she became the first self-made, female billionaire in the United States, according to the Netflix press release.

The film also “highlights Stewart’s working-class upbringing and forces us to reconsider the scandal that sent her to prison.”
