Martha Stewart reveals how she lost her virginity – and her dad was furious

Martha Stewart has revealed startling details about her personal life in new Netflix documentary Martha, including how she lost her virginity.
The 83-year-old, who recently said she ‘hates’ her new documentary and talked about her past infidelity, candidly discussed her relationship with ex-husband Andrew “Andy” Stewart, which began when she was 19 and he was 23.
The lifestyle guru describes being immediately captivated by the Yale Law School student’s sophistication during their first date.
“He picked me up in his little yellow Mercedes sedan. I had never been in a Mercedes before,” Stewart recalls in the documentary.
“By the end of dinner, I was madly in love.”
The documentary reveals that their relationship faced immediate pushback from Stewart’s father, Edward Kostyra, who physically struck her upon learning of their engagement plans.
“My dad slapped me hard on my face and said: ‘No, you’re not marrying him. He’s a Jew,'” Stewart recounts.
The film also explores the dissolution of the Stewarts’ 29-year marriage, with both parties engaging in extramarital affairs.
Stewart acknowledged having an affair early in their marriage, noting: “I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

According to friend Kathy Tatlock, Andy Stewart’s later affair with a staff member at their Connecticut estate, Turkey Hill Farm, left Martha “frantic” and struggling with migraines and self-harm.
“She had lost control of Andy, so she was making everybody pay,” Tatlock reveals.
Stewart described discovering her husband’s relationship with an employee she had allowed to live on their property.
“When I was traveling, Andy started up with her,” she says. “It was like I put out a snack for Andy.”
The documentary provides insight into the couple’s deteriorating relationship through the 1980s.
Tatlock characterized their dynamic as “more like colleagues than partners in life,” noting their strain even before their 1990 divorce.
