Martha Stewart Recalls Losing Virginity To Her 'Aggressive' Future Husband

Martha Stewart has opened up about her younger years and affair-ridden marriage to her ex-husband, Andrew Stewart.

The celebrity chef was very candid about her love life in her Netflix documentary, where she shared what it was like losing her virginity to Andrew, who she described as “aggressive.”

Martha Stewart has also stated that her ex-husband “betrayed” her during their marriage and that he once cheated on her with her assistant.

The famous chef allowed fans into her life with her in-depth Netflix documentary, “Martha,” where she made several revelations about her life and time in prison.

While speaking about the early days of her romance with Andrew, Martha stated that she was swept off her feet by the very “sophisticated young man,” who took her virginity at the age of 19.

“He was very aggressive, and I liked it,” Martha said about the moment she lost her virginity to her future husband.

The lifestyle guru who met Andrew while she was still at Barnard College and he was at Yale Law School recounted their first date together.

“He picked me up in his little yellow Mercedes sedan,” she said. “I had never been in a Mercedes before,’ she recalled in the documentary.”

“We went out to dinner. He was very polite and handsome and he had travelled a lot. It was exciting to meet a sophisticated young man, and he had an American Express card, which was a very big deal in those days. And he was just intriguing, playful, and nice. By the end of dinner, I was madly in love,” Martha added, per the Daily Mail.

In the documentary, Martha gushed over how nice her husband was to her before they married.

She said he “would send me money for a train ticket, and I would visit him every single weekend up at Yale. I had never slept with anybody before this. He was very aggressive, and I liked it.”

According to Martha, once Andrew “proposed” to her, it felt like “such a natural thing to do, fall in love and get married.”

However, she shared that she received a slap from her father, Edward Kostyra, after telling him of Andrew’s intention to marry her.

“But I went home and told my dad, and my dad slapped me, and he slapped me hard on my – on my face and said, ‘No, you’re not marrying him. He’s a Jew.’ I remember getting that slap,” Martha stated.

She added, “I was not at all surprised because he was a bigot and he was impulsive, but I said, ‘I’m gonna get married no matter what you think.'”

In her Netflix documentary, A friend of the star, Kathy Tatlock, discussed how one of Andrew’s alleged affairs with a staff member, Robin Fairclough, who was living at Turkey Hill Farm, left Martha feeling “frantic” and “upset.”

Tatlock said, “There were rumors floating around that Andy had some sort of involvement with the girl who was doing the flower arrangements at Turkey Hill Farm.”

Turkey Hill Farm is where Martha and Andrew’s Westport, Connecticut, home was located.

“Martha was picking up on everything and getting more and more upset,” Tatlock continued. “She would be frantic, migraines and sleeplessness. At one point, she showed me where she tore her hair out of her own head. She was mean to her staff. She had lost control of Andy, so she was making everybody pay.”

Martha recalled inviting the alleged mistress, Fairclough, who was also her assistant, to come live in an apartment on their property as she needed somewhere to stay.

She revealed that whenever she would go away on a trip, her then-husband would immediately start cheating on her with the assistant.

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

She continued, “I kicked her out immediately. You know, ‘What the hell are you doing?'”

The celebrity chef added, “Andy betrayed me right on our property. Not nice.”

After breaking up in 1987, Andrew and Stewart formally filed for divorce in 1990. Since then, he has been the only person she is known to have been married to. The pair shares a daughter, Alexis Stewart.

Although Stewart’s ex-husband cheated on her during their marriage, she also admitted to having a brief affair.

In the interview for the documentary, director R.J. Cutler told Stewart that her ex-husband claimed he only cheated on her because she “strayed” even though the chef said that he was unaware of her affair.

“He did say he knew about it,” Cutler noted. “He did?” Stewart asked, prompting Cutler to reply, “Yes, you had confessed to him.”

The director continued, “He says he didn’t stray from the marriage until you told him you had already strayed.”

Stewart then stated that it wasn’t true and that she only had a “very brief affair with a very attractive Irishman.”

“And it was just nothing. It was nothing,” Stewart said. “In terms of— it would never have broken up a marriage. I would never have broken up a marriage for it.”
