At the New York premiere of her Netflix documentary Martha<\/em> on October 21, Martha Stewart, 83, opened up about her strained relationship with her ex-husband Andrew \u201cAndy\u201d Stewart. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, the lifestyle mogul revealed that she hasn\u2019t spoken to Andy in over two decades.<\/p>\n

When asked if her ex had seen the documentary, Martha said, \u201cThe ex-husband? I have no idea. I haven\u2019t talked to him for over 20 years. Sadly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martha and Andy were married for nearly three decades, from 1961 to 1990, and share one daughter, Alexis Stewart, born in 1965. The couple\u2019s divorce left a lasting impact on Martha, who had previously told PEOPLE in 2020 that it was a painful experience. \u201cGetting divorced was a terrible thing for me because we were the first to divorce in my family,\u201d she shared. \u201cAnd that we haven\u2019t spoken since the divorce is even more painful. But I\u2019m very strong, and I\u2019m very motivated to get on with life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Revelations About Infidelity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the Martha<\/em> documentary trailer, Martha also confessed to having been unfaithful during her marriage to Andy. Addressing young women, she offered advice: \u201cIf you\u2019re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he\u2019s a piece of s\u2014. Get out of that marriage.\u201d When asked by a producer if she had an affair early on, Martha admitted, \u201cYeah, but I don\u2019t think Andy ever knew about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martha\u2019s Legacy and Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Martha<\/em>, which streams on Netflix beginning October 30, chronicles Martha Stewart\u2019s incredible journey from her early years as a model to becoming America\u2019s first self-made female billionaire. Reflecting on her career, Stewart told PEOPLE, \u201cI think being a teacher the way I have been all these years has paid off handsomely.\u201d She hopes viewers will take away the message that with hard work, creativity, and intelligence, anyone can achieve great things in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
