Martha Stewart got candid about her love life and the date she had with Larry King in a new interview.

Stewart, 80, appeared on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" Thursday. During her guest appearance, she shared that she received DMs from "quite a few" famous eligible bachelors after her "thirst trap" photo last summer on Instagram.

She didn't share if any of them scored a date with her. However, she confirmed that she is no longer single when Cohen asked if she was dating someone new.

"No," she responded before clarifying, "I shouldn't say no. I mean, yes, but I'm not going to tell you."

Although Stewart declined to share details about her boyfriend, she talked about her date with King, who passed away in January. According to her, she thought it was just a friendly outing, but King sent her signals that it was more than that.

"I thought we were just talking about journalism etc. etc., and then he sort of got a little amorous," she said.

Stewart didn't reveal the specifics on when and where they went out together. However, according to her, the other people who saw them together assumed that they were dating at the time.

"Everybody was noticing I was out with Larry King, and Larry King was not my type romantically if you get what I mean," she explained.

It wasn't the first time she talked about her date with King. Stewart also mentioned the incident when he once appeared on her show.

"I have a secret to reveal, we actually went out on a dinner date," she said. "I thought it was a business date, but it turned out, it was sort of a dinner date," she said while smiling before introducing King to the audience.

Stewart shared the video on Instagram as a tribute to King when he passed away earlier this year.

"Larry King and I were friends and I was interviewed by him many times. It was fun to turn the tables once or twice and I interviewed him a couple of times on my show!" she wrote in the caption.
