Martha Stewart may be wealthy, run a successful company and know her way around the kitchen, but she needs help getting a date.

The domestic diva and media mogul agreed Monday to formally join the online dating world, getting expert advice and tips from Match.com’s chief executive, Sam Yagan.

“Do you think I could possibly, maybe, find a match, like many of my employees?” Stewart asked him during a discussion on TODAY.

“What we know we can get you is some great first dates. I think finding a soul mate for you might be a little bit difficult, but I think first dates are easily doable,” Yagan told her.

“I’d like to have breakfast with somebody," Stewart admitted. "I’d like to go to bed with somebody. Sleep with somebody.”

While the confession clearly stunned TODAY’s Matt Lauer, Stewart’s nephew clarified it was nothing new.

“The first time I met Martha, we spent most of the evening talking about her past suitors,” said Dan Slater, who recently married Stewart's niece. Slater spent years studying online dating for his new book, “Love in the Time of Algorithms: What Technology Does to Meeting and Mating.”

“This is a subject that has been on her mind for a long time," he said. "She's ready to go.”
