Martha Stewart will not let just any man give her a rose. The 81-year-old lifestyle guru, who has long been single, was recently asked whether she would consider appearing on the newly-announced Bachelor spinoff The Golden Bachelor, which is coming to ABC this fall. The new show will star an older man seeking the affections of a mature woman.

Her response was classic Martha: “If I get to see the men first.”

According to the show’s description, a “The Golden Bachelor showcases a whole new kind of love story – one for the golden years. On this all-new unscripted series, one hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life.”

Thought she’s in her eighth decade of life, Stewart is busier than ever and hardly seems to be acknowledging that she’s in those sunset years. In the same Variety interview, she said the main reason she hasn’t done more reality TV is her hectic schedule.

“I’m very busy,” she said. “I have my beautiful cooking, entertaining and gardening shows which I’m very interested in so I don’t think I would do a reality dating show. They did ask me to Dancing With the Stars, but I didn’t have time to go out to California. That would have been fun.”

Martha did make time recently to appear in this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, making her the oldest woman to ever appear in that issue of the magazine. She credited her lifestyle with the way she looks, telling Variety, “I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever. I have very healthy, good hair. I drink green juice every day. I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have very good skin doctors. I’m very careful in the sun. I wear hats and I wear sunblock every single day.”

Stewart, who has been divorced since 1990, and has previously said that her work schedule is the main reason she has not dipped back into the dating pool. If she ever retires, maybe she’ll consider The Golden Bachelor… assuming she vets all the suitors first.
