Stewart and radio partner Jennifer Koppelman Hutt talk about topics ranging from pop culture to personal relationships.

[edit] Personal life

Stewart married John R. Cuti, a lawyer, in 1997. Cuti served as a trial lawyer during her mother's legal proceedings alongside Robert Morvillo, her lead attorney. Stewart and Cuti separated long before the government indicted her mother (which happened in June 2003). They were not legally divorced until mid-2004, after the trial was over. Stewart said on Larry King Live and on The Howard Stern Show that she's dating someone new.

Stewart and her mother have reportedly had a contentious relationship at times, but they became closer as Stewart grew older. Their relationship became stronger during her mother's legal battles and during the time she spent in federal prison at Alderson, West Virginia. Stewart was a frequent visitor and made a high-profile exit with her mother on a private jet escorting her to freedom (actually to home confinement) on March 4, 2005.

Stewart is a vegetarian and a supporter of PETA. [1]

On October 9, 2007, Stewart appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss her recent struggle to conceive a biological child.^[1] She stated on the show that she spends approximately $28,000 per month on fertility drugs and the expenses of undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection with her own eggs and sperm from a sperm bank, which she had done three times at the time the show was broadcast. Her mother has helped her underwrite these costs.
