In her self-titled Netflix documentary, Martha revealed how she let Robyn live in her converted barn on her Turkey Hill Farm property when she needed somewhere to live.
Affair to remember
In her doc, Martha claimed how her now ex-husband Andrew was having an affair with Robyn Fairclough.
“Robyn worked for me and she lost her apartment or something and I said, ‘Oh you could move into the barn on the lower two acres.’ We had a little apartment down there,” she said.
“And when I was traveling, Andy started up with her. It was like I put out a snack for Andy.”
In the Netflix film, Martha’s lifelong friend Kathy Tatlock talked about the impact her husband’s infidelity had on the TV cook.
“There were rumors floating around that Andy had some sort of involvement with the girl who was doing the flower arrangements at Turkey Hill Farm,” her friend said.
Going on, Kathy revealed: “Martha was picking up on everything and getting more and more upset.
“She would be frantic. Migraines and sleeplessness. At one point she showed me where she tore her hair out of her own head.”
Martha revealed how she confronted Robyn and “kicked her out immediately” after learning about the affair.
“You know, ‘What the hell are you doing?’” said Martha.

“Andy betrayed me, right on our property. Not nice.
“It’s hard for me personally to talk about it.”
Neither Andrew nor Robyn have ever talked publicly about the affair.
Marrying Andrew
After Martha and Andrew divorced, he went on to marry Robyn, who was 21 years younger than him.
However, the marriage didn’t last and the couple eventually split up.
In 2016, Andrew wed for the third time and is now married to wife number three, Shyla Nelson Stewart.
Life of an artist
According to her Instagram page, Robyn still works as an artist.
On her handle, she posts her impressive oil paintings.
She also exhibits her work in galleries in Connecticut and New York, with her last exhibition in the summer 2024.
