Martha Stewart spoke about her ex-partner: "We were in bed and at one point he told me he was going to marry someone else"
The American hostess Martha Stewart talked about her life in her documentary "Martha", and at one point revealed details of her relationship with the billionaire businessman Charles Simonyi, says the New York Post.
In fact, after the divorce with Andrew Stewart, Stewart was with Simonyi for 15 years, even as she spent five months in prison on charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
Stewart was reportedly found guilty of lying about the sale of ImClone stock, and the day she was found guilty was reportedly a "sad day" for Simonyi. Although he said he did not agree with the verdict, he visited his beloved only once in prison. The documentary even shows a letter that Stewart wrote to Simonyi, which read: “I haven't heard from you in a while or email. I would like to hear from you.'
After Stewart was released from prison, the couple dated for another three years. And then the same scenario happened as with the previous partner – Simonyi left Stewart for another woman. Still, Stewart calls him "a total genius with whom she lived a different life."
"We started going everywhere together. It was a different life. He had his own plane, he was building a ship in Germany and I started working on the ship with him,” she said.
The couple attended several events together in the late 1990s, including a dinner for the Hungarian president at the White House and a film producer's wedding Joel Silver in Italy.
In addition to all of the above, Stewart also described how the businessman decided to break up with her.
"We had a detailed trip planned. We were visiting the president of Iceland and we were in bed and he said, 'You know Marta, I'm going to get married, I'm going to marry Lisa.' I said, 'Which Lisa?' He didn't say a word," she continued, adding that he then told her her parents didn't want him to talk to her.
"I thought it was the most terrible thing a person could do. After half a year, Simonyi got engaged to the 32-year-old daughter of a Swedish millionaire, Lisa Persdotter, with whom he later had two daughters.
By the way, Simonyi grew up in Budapest, and at the age of 17 he moved to Denmark to work as a programmer, and later in the United States he studied mathematics and engineering at Berkeley University, from where he went to Stanford University to get a doctorate in computer science.
