Martha Stewart enjoys a ‘tryst’ with hunky mystery man in Sydney mansion – but all is not what it seems

Celebrity chef Martha Stewart has emerged in a new video filmed in a Sydney mansion.

The 83-year-old, who recently presented a talk at the Vivid Sydney Festival, can be seen keeping company with a ‘mystery man’ in the clip, in which the pair appeared to be dressed in matching satin bathrobes.

At one point in the short clip, Martha was gazing lovingly as the man strides away from her, with part of his bare chest showing.

However, it appears that the clip, shared to News on Tuesday, is actually part of an ad campaign featuring Stewart, who rose to fame in the 1980s behind a series of cookbooks and lifestyle brands and products.

According to the report, Martha and her unnamed cast member filmed scenes for the ad at the Crypto Castle, a luxury coastal clifftop pad in Coogee, which is often used for commercial shoots.

It comes after reports indicated that Stewart didn’t have the best experience at Sydney’s Vivid Festival back in May.

The lifestyle guru was Down Under to present a talk titled In Conversation with Martha Stewart as part of the event.

And according to insiders, the cooking and homewares entrepreneur was not impressed with the ICC theatre, which has hosted stars such as Elton John and Cher.

Sources reported to Confidential that Martha was unhappy that she had to use a hand-held microphone throughout her 90-minute talk.

However, Confidential’s insiders told the publication that it was required because Martha had refused to use a headset for fear of messing up her hairdo.

She also rejected the option of using a lapel mic, reportedly because she was concerned it might damage her jacket.

The publication also reported that Stewart disapproved of the vehicle that had been arranged for her because the window tinting was not dark enough.

Stewart also shared a gripe about Sydney Airport, with the entrepreneur complaining that the terminal was ‘too big’ and that she had to walk ‘too far’.

Stewart did find something to her liking during her trip.

The culinary guru dined at Totti’s, a mecca for local and international celebrities, reportedly after a friend’s recommendation.

The Merivale-owned restaurant, known for its famous bread and small plates, as well as its signature rich pasta dishes, is beloved by the city’s in-crowd.

We asked around about what America’s kitchen queen thought of her dining experience and found a diner who overheard Martha’s musings.  

‘She was impressed. She had a great time and ate everything,’ they said, adding that she ‘was really lovely’, ‘super friendly’ and asked the staff ‘lots of questions’.

The cookbook author ‘enjoyed a large selection of antipasti’ accompanied by the signature wood-fired bread, but our spy didn’t stay long enough to see if she sampled any of the mains.

She had ‘San Pellegrino sparkling water’, said our source, and ‘seemed very interested in the produce, asking the waiters lots of questions.’

Totti’s made a name for itself as the place to be among Sydney’s elites after it first opened its doors at The Royal Bondi in December 2018.

Totti’s interior was inspired by an Italian taverna, featuring old timber chairs, pared-back walls and huge olive trees filling out the lavish courtyard.
