When it comes to relationships, Martha Stewart knows exactly what she wants, and she is not shy about saying it.
The businesswoman has been linked to several men since her split from ex-husband Andrew Stewart, including a past romance with Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins.
With years of dating experience under her belt, Stewart has a clear picture of her ideal partner.
Martha Stewart Details Her Ideal Man Is One With Lots Of Money
The lifestyle mogul considers herself a prize and expects the same from a partner. When asked about the features her man should possess, Martha revealed she looks for a mix of physical appeal and personality.
Speaking to PEOPLE Magazine, Stewart said there are “lots of things” she looks for. “Nice-looking, bald or not bald, I don’t care. If they have a nice-shaped head, it’s fine,” she explained. The entrepreneur further listed being “funny” and “smart” along with features like a nice smile and good teeth.
For Stewart, what would be a welcome bonus is if the man were rich. Although she is currently single and not dating as she does not have that time, Stewart has previously bragged that she is a “catch,” having valuable qualities that appeal to a partner.
“I know how to cook, I know how to clean, I know how to keep a house — those are all very homemaker skills,” she said.
Martha Stewart Admitted To Cheating In Her Marriage With Andrew Stewart
As Stewart brags about being a full-on spec and wanting similar attributes from the opposite sex, she has also made shocking revelations about her actions in her former marriage to Andrew Stewart.
The Blast previously reported that in her 2024 Netflix documentary “Martha,” which detailed the events of her life, she confessed to cheating on her ex-husband. The confession came when she was advising young women about leaving their marital home if their partners ever cheated on them.
However, a producer quickly pointed out the contradiction, asking, “Didn’t you have an affair early on?” Stewart acknowledged it, replying, “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

Following her admission, the media personality went on to reveal more about her affair during a conversation with businessman Lee Brian Schrager at the celebration of her 100th book.
According to The Blast, the 84-year-old author admitted that keeping it a secret was “very easy,” noting that her husband’s lack of awareness made it simpler.
When Schrager jokingly asked how she managed to keep it hidden for so long, even suggesting it could be the theme of her next book, Stewart simply replied: “You have to be circumspect.”
Martha and Andrew tied the knot in 1961 and welcomed their daughter Alexis in 1965. After years of strain, the couple separated in 1987 and finalized their divorce in 1990.
Andrew Stewart Reportedly Cried Out About Hurtful Behavior In His Union With Martha
As Martha revisited her past, including her marriage to Andrew, it appeared to reopen old wounds for him, prompting a response from both Andrew and his current wife, Shyla Stewart.
In the documentary, Martha alleged that Andrew had “quite a few girlfriends” during their relationship and admitted she found it difficult to leave at the time. However, the claim did not sit well with Andrew and Shyla, who pushed back against the portrayal.
Per The Blast, Shyla took to Facebook on their behalf, criticizing Martha for revisiting their long-ended relationship decades later. She went further, describing Andrew’s and Martha’s union as “painful and abusive,” unlike the “joy-filled” one he now shared with her.
She ended by wishing everyone, including Martha, the chance to experience deep, fulfilling love and the peace that comes with it.
