8 of the most surprising revelations from Martha Stewart’s candid new Netflix documentary

Stewart and her husband both had affairs during their marriage.

Stewart discusses the fallout of her marriage to Andrew at length in “Martha,” saying he repeatedly cheated on her while they were together. They were married from 1961 to 1990.

In the documentary, Stewart said one of her ex-husband’s affairs was with a woman she had hired to do the flower arrangements at Turkey Hill. When the girl lost her apartment, Stewart invited her to move into the barn on their property.

“When I was traveling, Andy started up with her,” Stewart said. “It was like I put out a snack for Andy.”

“Young women, listen to my advice: If you’re married, and you think you’re happily married, and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s the piece of shit,” she added. “And look at him as a piece of shit and get out of that marriage.”

At this point in the documentary, Cutler interjects to ask Stewart if she’d had an affair early on in their marriage.

“I don’t think Andy ever knew about that,” Stewart says.

“He did say he knew about that,” Cutler tells her. “He said he didn’t stray from the marriage until you told him you had already strayed.”

“Oh, that’s not true, I don’t think,” Stewart replies.

“But what happened, you had an affair?” Cutler asks.

“I had a very brief affair with a very attractive Irishman,” Stewart says. “I would’ve never broken up a marriage for it. It was nothing. It was like the kiss in the cathedral.”
