Martha Stewart says it was “very easy” to keep her affair that she had during her marriage to ex-husband Andrew Stewart a secret. The business mogul made the cheeky comment during a Wednesday book launch party. The Daily Mail reports that the topic was brought up by businessman Lee Brian Schrager, who, in a video posted by the outlet, can be seen interviewing Stewart at the event. “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?” Schrager said to Stewart. In response, the homemaker extraordinaire grabbed the microphone and said, “’Very easy, you have to be circumspect.” The affair bombshell first came to light in a trailer for Stewart’s new self-titled Netflix documentary released last week. In the trailer, she admits to the tryst and says she doesn’t think Andrew, or Andy as she calls him, knew about it. The couple, who share one daughter, Alexis Stewart, wed in 1961 before splitting in 1990.
