Less than a week after the Bachelorette finale aired, speculation about whether Sophie Monk and her winner Stu Laundy are still together has been circulating.
To clear things up, Kyle and Jackie O from KIIS FM got Sophie on air this morning.
โThis must be frustrating what youโre seeing and reading,โ Jackie O starts.
โWeโre getting smashed,โ Sophie says before confirming that Stu is sitting beside Stu in a hotel room.
โNo, we have not broken up,โ she confirms, before going on to explain that theyโre a lot older than the usual Bachie contestants and donโt feel the need to be constantly all over each other.
โThey expect us to be making out like on the show, youโre not gonna be all over each other all the time. Thatโs not our thing,โ she says.
โWe havenโt seen any photos of you being affectionate,โ Jackie O says before asking whether they exist.
โThey must, and behind closed doors, weโre very affectionate,โ Soph says.
Sophie then puts Stu on the phone who says that while the rumours are โridiculous,โ theyโre not affecting the new couple.
โIt is a bit ridiculous but itโs not affecting us,โ Stu said of the negative media. โIโve got four daughters, Iโm not going to be out and proud, Iโm not going to be a public display of affection.โ
On that awkward Project interview, Stu said: โFriday was one of the busiest days Iโve ever had. It was interviews from 4am until live TV at 7pm.โ
โThey both had their knives out for me,โ Stu said of radio host Kate Langbroek (who put up a photo captioned โShe hates himโ) and Project host Meshel Laurie, revealing off air that Langbroek said, โIโm not sold on you, itโs going to take a lot for me to believe you. Next second she was smiling and on air.โ
โYou know what the funny thing is? I worry more than he does,โ Soph says, coming back onto the phone. โEspecially when you think a lot of them are your friends because itโs not the public doing it, itโs the media.
Kyle then asks whether Soph contractually has to keep up a fake relationship with Stu following the show. โMy manager is too good for that sort of crap, I wouldnโt do it,โ Soph says.
