While Martha Stewart was a student at Barnard College, she met her future ex-husband, Andrew, a Yale Law School student. Most of us know Martha as an iconic TV personality, but at the time, she was modeling for brands like Chanel to pay the bills as a college student. Andrew and Martha were set up on a blind date in 1960 when Martha was 18 and Andrew was 23. Just a year after this first date, the two wed. But their marriage wasn't off to the best start.

While they were honeymooning in Europe, the couple reportedly met an Englishman, and Martha chose to stay behind with him while Andrew headed up for the night. Ironically, many believed the relationship ended because they both had been unfaithful. Although Andrew helped Martha set up her business, he might not have prepared for just how popular she got. Martha's focus on her career reduced the time she gave to her family, and with all the tours and book releases, the relationship got even more strained.

In a New York Magazine interview, Martha reflected on the divorce: "It was the worst. It was a very horrible thing. All of a sudden, he got real tired." She added. "He also thought I was a very selfish person. I think that was a total misunderstanding of me. I think he got tired of my drive and desire to do lots of things. It's sad."
