Where Is Martha Stewart’s Ex-Boyfriend Charles Simonyi Now? Inside His Life After Domestic Maven’s Revelations in New Netflix Documentary
Martha Stewart is not holding back any details of her public and professional life in her eponymous Netflix documentary, which debuted on October 30. The offering is directed by R.J. Cutler, whose previous works include The September Issue and Elton John: Never Too Late.
Martha focuses on the American businesswoman and writer’s alluring life as a self-made billionaire as well as her romantic relationships, specifically her alliance with entrepreneur Charles Simonyi. The now-83-year-old domestic lifestyle expert secretly dated him for 15 years between the 1990s and 2000s. The latter subject, or if we could say Charles Simonyi’s whereabouts now, makes the subject of our article today.
Martha Stewart first met Simonyi in the early 1990s following her divorce from her first husband, Andrew Stewart. The pair’s relationship reportedly began as a friendship but turned romantic in 1993.
When they first crossed paths, Simonyi was working at Microsoft in a highly regarded role while Stewart was dedicating all her time and energy to growing her lifestyle brand, which would spawn Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, turning her into America’s first self-made female billionaire in 1999.
The duo attended several high-profile parties throughout the ‘90s without labeling their relationship. None of them ever publicly acknowledged their romantic involvement, instead resorting to referring to each other as good friends.
The duo’s roster of high-profile joint public appearances includes a White House dinner, an appearance at Joel Silver’s wedding to Karyn Fields in Venice, and more, suggesting there was definitely something more than friendship brewing between them.
In 2004, when Stewart faced a highly publicized trial for lying about a stock trade, Simonyi publicly defended his rumored girlfriend and remained steadfast by her side. She was found guilty of the allegations against her and was sentenced to serve five months in a federal correctional facility. This is when, per Stewart’s account in her documentary, her relationship with him began going south.
In the Netflix production, Stewart laments that she only received one note from Simonyi during her five-month prison stint, prompting her to reach out to him for more frequent contact.
After her release from prison in March 2005, the two continued seeing each other, and Stewart even confessed to dating a “really nice guy who stuck by me” while appearing on Don Imus’ radio show that same year. She did not, however, name her lover.
The couple apparently broke up in 2008, and this is how it happened! In her documentary, Stewart states that her “less exciting” post-prison life led to their breakup. The media mogul revealed the abrupt way Simonyi called things off with her.
“We had this elaborate trip planned. We were visiting the President of Iceland, and we were in bed, and he said, ‘You know, Martha, I’m going to get married… I’m gonna get married to Lisa. And by the way, her parents don’t want me to speak to you again.’”
Charles got engaged to Lisa Persdotter, the daughter of a Swedish millionaire, in August 2008. Stewart expressed her dismay over the end of their longstanding relationship in the documentary by describing it as a “stupid” thing to do to someone a person actually cared about. She also referred to her decades-long romance with Simonyi as a “second divorce,” even though they weren’t officially married.
Charles Simonyi’s background is as follows:
He was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1948 to Károly Simonyi and his wife, Zsuzsa Simonyi. His father was an award-winning physicist and electrical engineering professor, while his mother was a language teacher.
Simonyi’s stint at Microsoft apparently included contributing to the development of the company’s essential MS Office applications, like Word and Excel.
Charles and Lisa Persdotter are parents to daughters Lilian and Livia, and the family, per Sportskeeda, lives in Villa Simonyi in Medina, Washington.

Kareena Kapoor and Meghna Gulzar’s film gets THIS Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor on board after Ayushmann Khurrana exits? Here’s what we know
Just a few months back, it was reported that Ayushmann Khurrana had walked out of Meghna Gulzar’s film starring Kareena Kapoor. It came after he couldn’t fill in the date for the movie. Meanwhile, a recent report has suggested that Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has come on board in place of Khurrana for an important role.
The latest report published in India Today suggests that actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has been finalized for Meghna Gulzar’s next film, which is tentatively titled, Daayra. The director is currently working on a film featuring Kareena Kapoor, and the South star has been signed for an important role. The film is reportedly based on a true and disturbing incident.
A source close to the development informed the publication that the actor will be seen as a cop in the film. “After Ayushmann Khurrana and Sidharth Malhotra exited Daayra due to scheduling conflicts, Prithviraj was approached. He connected with the script and the film’s message,” the source was quoted as saying.
“His role is essential in driving the narrative, while Kareena’s character will show her in a new light, exuding strength, vulnerability, and intuition,” the source further added. The shooting of Prithviraj’s first collaboration with Kareena and Meghna is expected to start soon.
An earlier report in Midday revealed that Khurrana couldn’t allot his dates to the film due to the packed second half of 2024. The film is supposed to go on floors by the end of the year and will clash with the actor’s music tour and his cinematic ventures.
Notably, our source reflecting on the film’s subject earlier this year shared that after Talvar, it would be a hard-hitting project that Meghna had researched through the last few years. She also has strong source material in place for her screenplay.
On the work front, Prithviraj’s last Bollywood film was Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan alongside Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff. Meanwhile, Meghna’s last directorial was Sam Bahadur led by Vicky Kaushal and Kareena Kapoor is currently enjoying the release of Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again led by Ajay Devgn alongside Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff and Arjun Kapoor.
