Martha Stewart, 84, said on Wednesday's episode of Today With Jenna & Friends that 'lots of people' slide into her direct messages after she posts thirst traps. When host Jenna Bush Hager asked whether she was dating anybody special, Stewart replied, 'No, I’m not dating anybody special. But I have lots of friends, and my friends keep me happy.' The businesswoman, who shares a steady cadence of lifestyle posts alongside eye-catching thirst traps, has about 2.8 million Instagram followers and has not indicated a public romance.
During the appearance, Stewart also touched on her social-media approach and the ongoing appeal of her thirst-trap content. She has long balanced polished glam looks with playful, provocative posts for her followers, a routine she has maintained for years as part of her brand.
One of Stewart’s most viral photos dates back to July 2020, when she posed in a pool wearing a thin-strapped swimsuit. The celebrity chef dressed in full glam and puckered her lips to showcase pink-toned lip gloss. At the time, she told Page Six there was more to come while she was at the Life of Pi Broadway opening in April 2023. 'But I have lots of friends, and my friends keep me happy,' she added. Since then, she has continued sharing snaps in silk nightgowns and silk robes for her audience.
During a February 2024 episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast, the billionaire credited the secret to her youthful appearance to fillers in her cheeks, muscle-relaxing injections in her jaw and neck, and the use of multiple skin-tightening devices. Stewart also said she would continue posting thirst traps as part of her online presence.
As for her dating history, Stewart was married to Andrew Stewart from 1961 to 1990, with whom she shares a daughter, Alexis Stewart. She later dated the Silence of the Lambs actor Anthony Hopkins, but the couple split after the 1991 thriller was released because she could not separate him from his Hannibal Lecter character. While she has not publicly dated recently, Stewart has acknowledged past crushes on friends’ husbands and has even floated the idea of going on a date with Pete Davidson.
The TV host has not slowed down online or in the media spotlight, continuing to blend high-profile appearances, product launches, and candid Q&As with her broad audience. Her approach—bold fashion, glossy humor, and a steady stream of self-penned content—remains central to her enduring cultural presence."}{
