Martha Stewart reveals she’s ‘not in the position’ to take care of a man full-time

Martha Stewart has no shame in her game.

During an interview with E! News published this week, the lifestyle mogul revealed some insight into her current dating life — and it doesn’t include taking care of any men.

“I know a lot of eligible men,” Stewart, 81, admitted to the outlet.

“I think they really want a woman who will take care of them, so I’m still not quite in the position where I can take care of a man full-time because I work too much.”

She also divulged that sometimes, dating takes a backseat because she is so focused on her work life.

The entrepreneur said she had a “hard time” clearing time for both.

“If I analyze my life, I think the work has taken precedence over the romance,” she spilled.

She continued, “I have a hard time making room for both and it’s not the highest priority that I have a boyfriend, but it would be nice!”

Stewart married publisher Andrew Stewart in 1961, and they divorced nearly 30 years later, in 1990.

The couple has one daughter together, Alexis Stewart.

While speaking with People in 2020, she shared more about the divorce and how much it affected her at the time.

“Getting divorced was a terrible thing for me, because we were the first to divorce in my family,” she recalled. “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.”

After the divorce, she dated actor Anthony Hopkins, but revealed during a 2022 appearance on the now-defunct “Ellen DeGeneres Show” that she had to end the relationship after she saw him in the 1991 film, “The Silence of the Lambs.”

In the movie, Hopkins played Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who was a serial killer, offing people by eating them as a cannibal.

He wore an infamous mask that featured a metal cage on his mouth, something that Stewart didn’t seem to like very much.

“I have a big, scary house in Maine that’s way by itself on 100 acres in the forest, and I couldn’t even imagine taking Anthony Hopkins there,” Stewart told DeGeneres at the time.

The entrepreneur didn’t note exactly when she dated the actor, but he’s since gotten married again, tying the knot with actress Stella Arroyave in 2003.

Arroyave is his third wife.

And, although she may be single now, the CBD tycoon hasn’t been very shy about who she’s crushing on in the past.

In January, she admitted that she has a thing for Brad Pitt, and gushed that the actor was “aging beautifully.”

She also wants to have him on her podcast, The Martha Stewart Podcast.
