Martha Stewart Playfully Pushes Drew Barrymore Away During On-Air Interview

Martha Stewart pushed herself a little The Drew Barrymore Show, but the moment was in good fun.

During Stewart’s appearance on Barrymore’s talk show on Tuesday, Nov. 12, Barrymore asked the lifestyle mogul what makes her feel soft and gooey. The question briefly baffled Stewart, 83, who pondered the question.

“What makes me soft and gooey? Soft and gooey,” she mused, adding, “Healing.”

“Soft and gooey treatment,” Barrymore repeated as she gently rubbed Stewart’s shoulder. “When you’re treated like a lady.”

“Sure. It’s nice,” Stewart replied, telling Barrymore, “You’re the wrong gender.”

After her witty quip, Stewart playfully pushed Barrymore, 49, away. The daytime host exaggeratedly fell on the couch as the audience laughed and clapped.

As Stewart built a life empire, she sometimes made room for love. She was previously married to Andrew Stewart, whom she married in 1961 and divorced in 1990. (The two have a daughter, Alexis Stewart.)

In a 1995 interview with PEOPLE, Martha’s mother, Martha Kostyra, admitted that the divorce had “hurt” Martha, adding, “I don’t think she’ll ever get over it.”

For her part, Martha told PEOPLE 2020 that she is motivated to move on with her life after the split.
