This started when she gave advice to younger women who have been “betrayed,” telling them to escape from their marriages. However, a producer then spoke up and asked Martha if she had an affair. “Yeah but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that,” Martha answered (*via U.S. Sun).

After her divorce, she dated Anthony Hopkins for a short time and then was with software architect Charles Simonyi on and off from 1993 to 2008.
