Martha Stewart is going to Italy on business, but she's going to keep her eyes peeled for her next man. The 84-year-old felon and living legend will be a correspondent for the 2026 Winter Games, with her friend Snoop Dogg.

While it doesn't seem like she's bringing a plus 1 to what she called a "very sexy city," she has hopes she can meet someone special. "I'm waiting to meet my Italian prince," she said, adding, "We'll see what happens there."
Despite being single for years, Stewart has made it clear she is not without options. She is known for sharing sultry selfies, kissy faces, and bathing suit thirst traps, and they work.
On a September episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, she revealed that people have been trying to shoot their shot with her in the DMs. “Who [has] slid into your DMs with these traps?” Jenna Bush Hager asked her. “Lots of people," Stewart responded.
But it doesn't seem like anyone has made her light up. When she asked if she's dating anybody special, Stewart responded, “No, I’m not dating anybody special."
Martha Stewart's love life
Stewart has only been married once. She and Andrew Stewart married in 1961 when she was still Martha Helen Kostyra, a 20-year-old student at Barnard College of Columbia University.

Following her divorce, Stewart had high-profile relationships with actor Anthony Hopkins and billionaire software developer Charles Simonyi. She ended things with Hopkins after watching The Silence of the Lambs, explaining, “I couldn’t get past the Hannibal Lecter.”

The last time she admitted to having a partner was in December 2021, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, but she did not reveal his identity.

Analyzing her life, she said, "I think the work has taken precedence over the romance.” “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!” she added.
