NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Renowned businesswoman Martha Stewart has revealed she has not spoken to her ex-husband Andrew "Andy" Stewart in over 20 years, making another shocking confession about her relationship with her ex-husband she cheated on.

In an interview with PEOPLE on Monday, October 21, at the New York premiere of her Netflix documentary 'Martha', the 83-year-old businesswoman confessed that she has not spoken to her ex-husband Andy in in over 20 years.

When asked if Andy had watched the documentary, Martha responded to PEOPLE, "The ex-husband? I have no idea. I haven't talked to him for over 20 years. Sadly."

Martha Stewart and ex-husband Andy both reportedly had affairs during their marriage

Martha Stewart and Andrew Stewart were married from 1961 to 1990 and they share a daughter Alexis Stewart, who they welcomed in 1965. The entrepreneur revealed in the Netflix documentary that they were unfaithful to each other during their marriage.

The businesswoman also revealed in the 'Martha' trailer that she had cheated on her ex-husband during their almost three-decade marriage.

Martha said in the trailer, "Young women, listen to my advice, if you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s**t. Get out of that marriage," referring to Andy cheating on Martha with her former aide Robyn Fairclough.

A producer added, "Didn’t you have an affair early on?" To which, Martha admitted and said, "Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that."

The lifestyle tycoon's comments came after her recent admission that it was "very easy" to hide her infidelity from her ex-husband for three decades.

During her speech at the Manhattan launch party for her 100th book earlier in October, friend Lee Brian Schrager joked about Martha's infidelity.

"If you're looking for ideas [for another book] maybe you could talk about how you [had] an affair that happened 30 years ago and you kept it a secret, how is that possible?" Lee quipped.

"Very easy, you have to be circumspect," Martha replied with a grin at the time, per Daily Mail.

Andy Stewart reportedly 'furious' over ex-wife Martha Stewart's shocking confession

According to reports following the release of the 'Martha' trailer, Andy Stewart was "furious" over Martha Stewart's confession. In her upcoming Netflix documentary, she revealed that she cheated on her publisher ex-husband, believing he was unaware of her infidelity.

Andy, who had an affair with Martha's former assistant Fairclough and left the 'Martha Stewart Living' host after 29 years of marriage, is reportedly "furious" about her open admission, according to Paula Froelich of NewsNation.

"Neighbors of Andy and his children say the publisher is furious as he is very private and feels he’s dragged into the drama … again," Froelich said.

Andrew was a 23-year-old Yale law student when he first met Martha on a blind date. After their divorce in 1990, he married Fairclough, but their marriage ultimately ended in divorce as well, per the New York Post.

Martha Stewart reportedly treated her husband 'shabbily'

Jerry Oppenheimer, the author of the memoir 'Just Desserts', claimed that Martha "treated her husband poorly" in a 2014 exclusive interview with MailOnline.

"She had a hellish marriage of more than a quarter century during which she treated her husband shabbily. It was a horrific union that ended in a nasty divorce," Oppenheimer claimed at the time.

In 2020, Martha reflected on her "painful" divorce from Andy, revealing that they had not communicated since their separation.

"Getting divorced was a terrible thing for me because we were the first to divorce in my family," she told PEOPLE. "And that we haven’t spoken since the divorce is even more painful."

"But I’m very strong and I’m very motivated to get on with life," she added.

RJ Cutler's new documentary, which follows Martha's journey from teenage model to creative influencer and the first self-made female millionaire in America, includes a number of personal interviews.

It will also look at Martha's professional comeback after serving time in prison for insider trading in 2004.

'Martha' will stream on Netflix on October 30.
