Fan-favorite sports commentator Kay Adams is taking Super Bowl LX week by storm with her NFL coverage on her Up & Adams Show before the big game. Though her biggest focus is on sports and the players, things turned personal during a Feb. 6 interview with Martha Stewart, who gave her some surprising relationship advice.
“I heard you say you don’t you don’t need a man,” Adams said during the chat, after the 84-year-old said she’s enamored with actor Tom Hardy. “I don’t I don’t actually need a man,” Stewart insisted. “But but men are nice.”

That’s when Stewart turned her attention to Adam’s much-talked-about love life. “Are you married?” she asked the beautiful 39-year-old. “No,” Adams responded curtly. When asked why not, she elaborated, “I’m kind of like you, [Martha]. Like, oh, whatever.”
While Stewart never remarried after her 1987 separation and subsequent divorce from her husband Andrew Stewart, she insisted Adams needs to find a life partner. “You’re too young not to want to be married,” she said. “You better get married.”
When a surprised Adams asked why, Stewart answered, “I just think every woman should experience marriage and you should experience having a child. You have to have a child.”
“I have to?” asked Adams before requesting Stewart’s advice for finding Mr. Right. “You’re you’re surrounded. Look at this place, like 99% men,” said the cookbook author. “There’s somebody out there for you!”
Does Kay Adams Have a Boyfriend?
Though Adams teased that “Nobody really gets [her] attention,” she has opened up recently about being ready to settle down. While many fans have speculated about whether or not she has a boyfriend and who it might be, it sounds like she really hasn’t had time for dating at all. In November 2025, she opened up about her changing attitude toward relationships on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast.

“I think I haven’t known what I’ve wanted,” she admitted to hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, adding, “I think I’m always in survival mode of what’s next, how am I gonna survive and advance, that’s a life thing… The truth is, I have realized that I have very little experience dating.”
But now, she’s “very happy with where” she is in life. “I’m settled, I’m a little more calm, like I feel a little more able to be there for someone else,” she said.
So, what is she looking for in a future husband? “There’s nothing better than banter, and I have that with so few people,” she said. “I would say the loyalty. I need to feel secure. I need somebody who makes me feel secure. So loyalty is more important than anything. And I’m a very loyal person.”

Adams has kept mum on past romances, but in 2024, she clapped back at speculation she was dating Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones after jokingly calling him her “boyfriend” to New York Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor on Up & Adams.
“I’m not dating Daniel Jones — breaking, breaking news — I’ve met him all of two times, wish him the best, I’m pretty sure he has a girlfriend,” she said on the 25/10 Show.
