Speaking to the Daily Telegraph last week, Stu confirmed that he is still finalising his divorce despite having separated from Rachel four years ago.
‘I prefer being married, absolutely,’ he said.
‘(Divorce) wasn’t my decision. But any chance of reconciling is pretty-much over I would say.’

‘And that’s basically why the divorce has taken so long. I really wanted to work it out,’ he continued.
According to the publication up until recently, the ‘partyboy’ was ‘desperate to repair his relationship’ with wife Rachel, after she initiated the split in 2013.
And with friends of the pair calling Stu and his estranged wife’s current relations as ‘amicable’, earlier in year, the father-of-four confirmed he did still have access to his children.

‘My kids are with my ex wife and I get every second weekend,’ he told News Corp.
Speaking candidly about the last few years since his separation, he took full ownership of his ‘partyboy’ name and antics.
‘I had a couple of throw away years which people do after separation and divorce,’ he said.

‘All my friends wanted me to hook up with someone. I never said now. Sometimes it was like Tinder. It was two or three dates a week. It was a vicious cycle I was in for two years.’
Stu is set to make his appearance on Ten’s The Bachelorette on Wednesday and as viewers continue to speculate who will win Sophie’s heart, an insider claims Stu has already won the blonde over.
Speaking to the Sun Herald last month, an insider claimed 37-year-old Sophie has chosen the millionaire as ‘the one’ and that they make a great couple.
Split: According to the publication, up until recently, the ‘partyboy’ was ‘desperate to repair his relationship’ with wife Rachel, after she initiated the split in 2013
‘If they do get together they will be really good,’ the insider revealed. ‘They’re both really good, funny people.’
The source also said the pairing makes sense given that Stu is an heir to a $500 million pub fortune and Sophie ‘likes a drink.’
‘[The Laundys] are quite devout Catholics but pretty down to earth people. They made their money from some pretty rough pubs so nothing would shock them and she does like a drink,’ the source explained.
