Martha Stewart Looking For Love With Online Dating At Age 71; Single Domestic Diva Will Create A Match.com Profile

It's never too late to look for love; just ask Martha Stewart. The 71-year-old domestic diva is single and looking to online dating to help find her next romance, even confirming that she will create a Match.com profile under an alias username. Stewart confirmed to Matt Lauer on Today that she tried filling out an online dating profile last week on Match.com and couldn't finish it, but that she will now move forward in creating her profile.

"I'd like to have breakfast with somebody,' she admitted. 'I'd like to go to bed with somebody. Sleep with somebody."

Stewart also told Lauer and Match.com chief executive Sam Yagan the type of qualities that she would look for in a man.

"I put out youngish . . . meaning active [not an age range]' she clarified. 'Energetic, outdoors-ish, really smart . . . successful is important - for him - tall-ish."

Unfortunately for Stewart, Yagan was less than optimistic for her hopes at finding true love.

"I think finding a soulmate for you might be a little bit difficult, but I think first dates are easily doable," he said.

Although Stewart wanted to use her real name and include photos of herself in the profile, Yagan advised that she create a profile under a psuedonym and not post any pictures until a member approaches her first. He expressed concern that people would be more interested in talking to a celebrity than actually getting to know her as a person.

Stewart confirmed that she ended a relationship with a long-term boyfriend two years ago and has been single ever since. She also reportedly dated billionaire Charles Simonyi on-and-off for 15 years, but they officially broke up in 2008. She also dated Sir Anthony Hopkins at one point.

Her first husband was Andrew Stewart and together they had a daughter, Alexis, in 1965. The pair divorced in 1987 and it remains her only marriage.
