Martha Stewart Question???

Question

Is she Polish?? How did she get the name "stewart"?? I heard she was married but there was an affair.... is that true?? If so why did she keep his name???

Answer 1

She has Polish ancestry.  Her maiden name was Kastyra (I may have misspelled it).  She grew up in Nutley, NJ and vacationed in Buffalo, NY visiting relatives.  She was married, had a daughter.  The husband had an affair with Martha's assistant--I believe he married her.  Martha Stewart was already a brand name, so she kept it, as that was the name by which she was recognized.  Plus, don't you think she earned it after putting up with her hubby's c**p?
