"On screen, Martha Stewart exudes a mixture of qualities: elegance, formality, innovation and humor. So it is no surprise that her grandchildren see those qualities in her as well. They don't call her Grandmama, Nana or Granny. She's not a Gaga, a Gigi or a Glamma. And she's definitely not a Meemaw. To her two grandchildren, Martha Stewart is just ... Martha."
""What's your grandma name?" Killinger asked. "Martha," said Stewart, overly annunciating the name. "They've called me Martha since they were born." "Do you know how hysterical that is, that your grandchildren call you by your first name?" asked Killinger. "And all their friends call me Martha," added Stewart. "None of them call me Mrs. Stewart. I'm not a Mrs. Stewart." "But even as babies, you were like, 'Call me Martha'?" Killinger pressed. "I didn't say that. They called me Martha," Stewart explained."
"Alexis Stewart followed in her mother's footsteps to become a writer and a television personality, and she has also hosted her own radio show. She welcomed daughter Jude in 2011 with help from a gestational surrogate. The following year, she welcomed son Truman, also with a gestational surrogate. Jude Stewart, 14, is a budding jewelry designer who occasionally strolls red carpets with her grandmother ... errr, her Martha. Truman Stewart, 13, keeps a lower profile than his older sister."
Martha Stewart's grandchildren address her by her first name, Martha, rather than a traditional grandmother nickname. Stewart confirmed on a televised interview that her grandchildren and their friends have called her Martha since they were born, and that her daughter also uses the name. Alexis Stewart had two children via gestational surrogates: daughter Jude (born 2011) and son Truman (born 2012). Jude, 14, pursues jewelry design and occasionally appears on red carpets with Martha, while Truman, 13, maintains a lower public profile. Stewart noted that her grandchildren were not mentioned in her 2024 documentary.
