Martha Stewart Love Life: Lifestyle Guru Admits Having Crushes on Married Men
Martha Stewart may have been in the public eye for decades, but she kept her love life private most of the time until recently, when the lifestyle guru finally gave fans a glimpse into her romantic interests at the age of 80.
Speaking to Chelsea Handler's "Dear Chelsea" podcast, the Food Network star dished her current dating status, saying she's not seeing anyone at the moment, but admitted that she had a few crushes.
However, her crushes turned out to be married men.

Over the last month, Stewart said she had "two mad crushes" which she considers as good for her, but "one of them is married to the mother of some friends of mine." (via People Magazine)
The podcast host intervened to crack a joke, saying the TV personality can't be a "home-wrecker."
To which the cookbook author replied, "I've never been a home-wrecker and I've tried really hard not to be, I've had the opportunity to be a home-wrecker and I have not taken anybody up on it."
Stewart then explained that's where she meets men who are married to her friends.
Handler sympathized by saying there are certain ages people undergo where it's "very tempting" because they want to believe that their current relationship is "temporary."
The entrepreneur then replied, "Or maybe they'll die. I always think, 'Oh gosh, couldn't that person just die?' Not painfully, just die."
The latest podcast episode, which was released on Thursday, comes a few months after Stewart candidly opened up about her blossoming dating life in an interview with Andy Cohen.
She revealed that a few famous men in the industry slid into her DMs after she posted a "thirst trap photo."
Despite having a few familiar faces in her inbox, the TV star never went out with any of them. However, when asked about her relationship status at the time, she confidently said she was dating someone, but she was not going to tell the host.
Speaking about famous men who were linked to the Food Network personality, Stewart admitted that she was linked to the late Larry King, who passed away earlier this year.
The pair had a dinner date in New York City before. The "Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party" star initially thought they only had a friendly connection, but the radio host signaled something.
"I thought we were just talking about journalism etc. etc., and then he sort of got a little amorous," she said.
