Martha Stewart just dropped a spicy little nugget in her new Netflix documentary Martha — and it’s not about soufflés or flower arrangements. Nope, the 83-year-old queen of homemaking opened up about the first time she ever got, well, intimate. And let’s just say, the story’s got more layers than her famous puff pastry.
So, here’s the scoop: Martha, back in her pre-bedsheet-thread-count days, was 19 when she took the plunge into adulthood. And guess what? It was with her ex-husband, Andy Stewart. Now, this guy must have been quite the heartthrob because, according to Martha, he was “very aggressive, and I liked it.” Martha! Who knew you had that edge?
And she wasn’t just into his personality, either. Oh no, Martha fondly remembered her ex-hubby as “polite, handsome, well-traveled,” and—get this—a proud carrier of an American Express card. Yes, that little plastic rectangle made the man irresistible. Forget roses or poetry; back in the day, you whipped out an AmEx, and you were practically royalty.
Of course, as with all iconic tales, there’s a twist. Martha casually dropped the bomb that, yes, she might have strayed from her dashing, AmEx-carrying husband. Just when you thought Martha Stewart was all about perfectly set tables and seasonal centerpieces, she reminds us that life has…flavors.
Netflix might as well start handing out Emmys right now.
