Martha Stewart Remembers Losing Her Virginity to Her Husband at 19: ‘He Was Very Aggressive and I Liked It’

the culinary icon recalls meeting Andy when she was a student at Barnard College in New York City and he was attending law school at Yale.

The couple began dating after they were set up by Martha’s classmate and Andy’s sister.

“He picked me up in his little yellow Mercedes sedan,” she recalls in the film. “I had never been in a Mercedes before.” Martha, 83, grew up one of six children in Nutley, N.J.

The popular, tall blonde spent her teen years modeling to provide extra income for her parents, “Big Martha,” a school teacher, and Edward, a failed businessman.

Martha remembers going out to dinner with Andy on their first date when she was 19. “He was very polite and handsome, and he had traveled a lot. It was exciting to meet a sophisticated young man.

And he had an American Express card, which was a very big deal in those days,” she says.
