Martha Stewart has delighted Off Campus fans by hilariously flirting with its star in the comments of a Starbucks Instagram post.
Stewart and Belmont Cameli, who plays Garrett Graham in the hit Amazon Prime Video romance series, recently shared the screen together in a new ad campaign for Starbucks.
The advert shows Stewart ordering a hot pumpkin spice latte at the coffee retailer before Cameli shows up asking for a straw.
“You would get it hot,” he remarks to Stewart while making flirty eyes at her.
“Should I know him?” Stewart then cheekily asks the viewers before walking away.
The home living businesswoman then took the flirting one step further in the comments under the Instagram post for the ad.
“Wow! The actor I was interacting with while we shot the commercial was a different guy – a ‘stand in’ This guy is cuter!!!!” she wrote. Her comment has amassed almost 20,000 likes at the time of writing.
Stewart has been a beacon of light in LGBTQ+ allyship over the years. Sharing her world knowledge, the 85-year-old hosted Martha Stewart Living, which ran from 1993 to 2004, and The Martha Stewart Show, which ran from 2005 to 2012.
Known for her homely, cozy, traditional lifestyle advice, it may seem as though Stewart’s career wouldn’t intersect with the LGBTQ+ community… but you’d be very wrong.
All the while, she has resonated with the LGBTQ+ community for her welcoming personality, refined elegance and divaship. Branded “Mother”, Stewart’s relationship goes deeper than just her appearances on Ellen and Ugly Betty.
Martha Stewart Living featured gay people living their lives in the 80s and 90s, their sexuality taking a back seat to their valuable skills and contributions to society.
Andrew Ritchie, founder of the lifestyle blog Martha Moments, explained: “It was so refreshing to see that kind of honest depiction: the owners of a bakery, the owner of a consignment shop, an expert on collecting vintage china. Basically, just people being people.”
“She’s a role model for us, and we certainly identify her as one of our greatest allies,” he added.
With queer people’s stories being shared in the pages of her magazine and on her show, Stewart was helping to normalise LGBTQ+ relationships to her viewers.
