Martha Stewart left TV host Kelly Clarkson open-mouthed in shock after making a 'secret' confession about her life at home.
Realtor reports, the confession related to the fact she has never ordered in food, even during the many years she spent residing in New York City.
The 83-year-old, who now lives on a stunning farm in Katonah, New York, made the candid admission during an appearance on Clarkson's hit talk show, 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' alongside her 'Yes, Chef!' co-star, Jose Andres.
Stewart and Andres were reminiscing about all of the delicious food they tried while filming in Toronto, prompting Clarkson to question whether any of the restaurants they frequented offered a delivery option.
It was then that longtime lifestyle guru Stewart dropped her bombshell, revealing: 'Do you want to know a secret? I have never ordered in.'
Shocked by Stewart's confession, Clarkson pushed the culinary pro for more information, questioning: 'Are you kidding me?'
'My daughter will vouch for me,' Stewart added, referring to 59-year-old daughter Alexis.
'You have never been like, 'It's a Taco Bell night, we're just doing it'?' the host went on.
Andres then joined in, demanding that Stewart provide evidence to backup her big reveal, even encouraging Clarkson's viewers to help them catch the cookbook author in a lie.
'Prove it! People of America, if you have a photo of Martha Stewart ordering in, phone now. We want to see it! We demand an investigation,' Andres teased.
Clarkson then branded Stewart's confession 'insane' before joking that the information makes the lifestyle expert come across as so 'so pure.'
'Don't you worry, I've ordered in enough for the both of us,' the host added.
Stewart's confession comes as even more of a shock because she previously resided in the Big Apple, specifically in the West Village, where takeout food plays a major role in many people's weekly diets.
It is perhaps a bit more understandable that Stewart has not found the need to order food to her Katonah farm, which she purchased in 2000, having previously resided on a Westport, CT, property known as Turkey Hill, a dwelling that she owned with her ex-husband, Andy Stewart.
Stewart first came across the Turkey Hill property in 1970, when she and her husband were living in New York City with their daughter.
'The house, on a tract of land that stretched south toward Long Island Sound and had once been an onion farm, came with two acres of deep, loamy soil, a few large trees, and not much else,' she recalled on her website.
'There was not much of a kitchen and no usable bathroom. The basement was damp, and there was no porch, terrace, garden, or driveway.'
The home itself, although in disrepair, had 'good bones,' she noted, with 'lovely windows, wide-plank floors, and seven fireplaces.'
Describing it as a 'perfect do-it-yourself project,' Stewart recalled that she and Andy purchased the home — her very first property — for the very reasonable sum of $46,750.
However, she cut ties with the property after discovering that her ex-husband was carrying out an affair on the grounds.
Stewart opened up about the moment that she learned of her husband's infidelity in her hit Netflix docuseries, 'Martha,' admitting at the same time that she had also had a brief affair shortly after she had tied the knot with her spouse.
She insisted that her brief dalliance with another man amounted to 'nothing,' adding that she 'would never have broken up a marriage for it.'
However, she accused Andy of having 'quite a few girlfriends' during their marriage — although he told producers of the film that he 'didn't stray' until after she had been unfaithful.
One of those alleged affairs, Stewart said, took place 'right on our property' at Turkey Hill.
'When I was travelling, Andy started up with her,' she says, adding, 'It was like I put out a snack for Andy.'
The couple ultimately split in 1990, and in 2007, the TV personality decided to place that home on the market, as she was spending more time at her 150-acre Katonah spread.
She previously showed off a glimpse of her home during the festive season, revealing that her property boasted green walls, a white fireplace and a chef's kitchen.
Stewart has made some very savvy real estate investments over the years, including a West Village penthouse (that she has since sold) and a 63-acre getaway on the remote Mount Desert Island in Maine, known as Skylands.
In 2021, the entrepreneur sold her cottage in East Hampton for $16.5 million ($A25.7 million). The sale was quite a coup: She had purchased the property for $1.7 million in 1991, after her divorce. The classic Hamptons estate was reportedly sold for almost twice what Stewart had initially asked.
