Sophie Hints That She & Stu Were Secretly Hooking Up On ‘The Bachelorette’

Depending on which Oz media outlet you follow, Sophie Monk and her Bachelorette bloke Stu Laundy are either deliriously happy in love, or they’ve broken up, or they can’t stand each-other and their relationship was a sham from the get-go. Honestly, it’s enough to make you question whether the stuff you see on reality TV is actually all just made-up, heavily-edited nonsense, hey?

When Laundy landed on The Bachelorette, many fans felt that the fix was in for him, given that (a) he was practically the only fella in Sophie Monk’s desired age range, (b) the two of them had actually met and flirted before, and (c) he also happens to be a bloody multi-millionaire.

This week, at his low-key 45th birthday bash, Sophie got on the microphone, and in a characteristically unfiltered speech, told his assembled friends and family that it was on between them from day one. The Daily Mail copped a video of her toast, in which she said:   

“Stu and I are very similar … we’re not very good at rules. So the whole time through The Bachelorette, we were meant to be in lock-down, which means “don’t see each-other” – we saw each-other more than any other couple I think … I’d leave a key downstairs in the garage, he’d just pick it up and come straight to the room … He has that arrogance, he knew he was going to win!”

While filming the show, Sophie stayed in temporary accommodation near the mansion, the smell of man musk presumably being too strong for her to take up residence there.

Her comments at Stu’s birthday would appear to suggest that he was sneaking in to see her the entire time, although she has yet to officially confirm or deny this.

This type of thing is nothing new – Matty J admitted that he and Bachelor winner Laura had at the very least “clocked” each-other before their season of the show – but it’s rare to hear someone be so open about the dirty behind-the-scenes business of reality television.

Somewhere (possibly Fiji), your boy Jarrod is quietly sobbing.
