[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Stewart was born in New York City and raised in New York and at her parents' homes in Westport, Connecticut and Easthampton, New York. Her father, Andrew Stewart, and her mother divorced in 1990; she and her father are now estranged. Stewart attended prep school at The Putney School in Vermont and graduated from Barnard College, her mother's alma mater.
[edit] Career
Stewart has referred to herself as her mother's "original apprentice" and reports that her first job was assisting in Martha's Westport-based catering business. However, after college, she ventured into other endeavors. She designed, built and operated the Bridgehampton Motel property in Bridgehampton, New York on Long Island. She also bought, built and ran the East Hampton Gym and Sag Harbor Gym on Long Island, which she now co-owns with her partner Bruce Cotter.
In the fall of 2005, Stewart appeared with her mother in the reality show The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, a spinoff of Donald Trump's The Apprentice.
[edit] Current projects
Stewart currently co-hosts Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer, a show on Martha Stewart Living Radio carried on Sirius Satellite Radio. Stewart and radio partner Jennifer Koppelman Hutt talk about topics ranging from pop culture to personal relationships. The show is billed as being about "whatever" the two women are thinking, reading, or hearing.
[edit] Personal life
Stewart married John Cuti, an attorney, in 1997. Cuti served as a consultant during her mother's legal proceedings but was not her primary attorney. During or shortly after the trial, Stewart and Cuti separated. They're not legally divorced yet, but Stewart said on Larry King Live and The Howard Stern Radio Show that she's dating someone new. She also admitted on her Sirius radio show and on The Howard Stern Radio Show to having a sexual relationship with a cameraman during production of The Apprentice.[1] While on Stern's program, she also said she wanted to have a child via a sperm donor.
Stewart and her mother have reportedly had a contentious relationship at times, but they became closer as Stewart grew older. Their relationship became stronger during her mother's legal battles and during the time she spent in federal prison at Alderson, West Virginia. Stewart was a frequent visitor and made a high-profile exit with her mother on a private jet escorting her to freedom (actually to home confinement) on March 4, 2005. There has been speculation that Alexis is being groomed as her mother's successor to lead Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, a report neither will confirm.
Stewart is a vegetarian and a supporter of PETA. [2]
