Who is Martha Stewart’s ex-husband married to? Andrew Stewart’s wife blasts the TV personality over “sensationalized trailer” for Netflix doc

Martha Stewart’s ex-husband Andrew Stewart and his current wife, Shyla, slammed the celebrity chef and TV personality for using a "sensationalized trailer" for her Netflix documentary. On October 12, 2024, Shyla shared a Facebook post, mentioning Andrew’s “dark” past, including his “painful and abusive marriage to Martha.

"While Andy quietly moved on and forward with his life, it appears that Martha continues to publicly relitigate the marriage, including comments in a sensationalized trailer for an upcoming documentary on Netflix," she continued.

On October 30, Stewart's documentary Martha debuted on Netflix. In the days leading up to its release, comments the TV personality made in its trailer went viral. This included her advising young women that if their husbands cheat on them, then "he’s a piece of sh*t" and that they should "get out of that marriage."

Martha and Andrew Stewart married in 1961. They share a daughter together, Alexis, born in 1965. The pair separated in 1987 and finalized their divorce in 1990.

In the documentary, Martha Stewart admitted that both she and Andrew had been unfaithful in their marriage

Shyla Nelson Stewart, in her Facebook post, signed off by both her and Andrew Stewart, explained that this would be the only comment they would make on the subject. She explained that the man portrayed in the documentary was far different from her husband.

"The juxtaposition of Andy’s early life with the joy-filled, purpose-led, loving marriage we live today is striking. Every day, we openly express our gratitude for our love and for our life together," she wrote in the post.

Shyla praised her husband, calling him a "brilliant publisher, avocational naturalist, and nature photographer," adding that he was one of the "the gentlest, most soft-spoken, kind-hearted" people she knew. She explained that they met as colleagues almost twelve years ago and since have made a home together. She concluded her message with a note to Martha Stewart.

"We both wish everyone, including Martha herself, the experience of loving and being loved deeply and fully, and the peace that comes from such a love," Shyla mentioned.

In her documentary, Martha Stewart addresses her relationship with Andrew, revealing that they both had affairs at some point in their marriage. She alleged that he cheated on her with multiple partners. Andrew, for his part, noted that he "strayed" after he learned of Martha's affair.

In the documentary, Kathy Tatlock, a friend of the TV personality, explained that the former couple's relationship was "always strained." She explained that Andrew was busy with his "publishing business" and always running around. While Martha was always "critical of him." Tatlock stated that their relationship was that of "colleagues" rather than "partners."

In the film, Martha Stewart remarked:

"He treated me really badly. And, in return, I guess I treated him badly."

The celebrity chef shared that she hasn’t spoken to Andrew since their divorce. After their split, Andrew married Robyn in 1993 and Shyla in 2016. Martha Stewart hasn’t publicly responded to the post. Her documentary is available on Netflix.
