He’s been quiet when it comes to talking about his recent split from former girl band glamazon Sophie Monk.
But Stu Laundy has decided to bare his soul to Confidential, apologising to a nation who pinned their hopes and dreams on a love affair born out of reality television.
The 45-year-old millionaire publican admitted that despite the fanfare surrounding their relationship it was realistic that things came to an abrupt end.

‘Soph’s and my story is our story. I’m sorry to Australia but the reality is most of these stories will finish with the couple not together,’ he told the publication on Sunday.
Admitting he now believes he and Sophie were always destined to be ‘really good mates,’ Stu thinks his heart may always be held by another woman.
‘Sadly for me I may have had the love of my life in my ex wife and wasted it but I’ll keep searching,’ he said.

He said there will not be any kind of tell-all magazine deal to seal their fate but did agree with Tim Robards sentiments that the ‘pressure’ contributed to Stu and Sophie’s timely demise.
‘I agree with [The Bachelor’s] Tim Robards and his opinion that they’re like arranged marriages,’ he said.
But while Tim and his lady love Anna Heinrich are due to wed this year the same can’t be said for this year’s unlucky in love duo.
Sophie Monk took to Instagram last week to confirm that she and Stu had gone their separate ways.

‘I gave it the best shot I could and my intentions were everything I said I was looking for but unfortunately it just didn’t work out,’ the Date Night actress wrote.
She added: ‘As much as I respect him we are just very different people.’
Several days later, the reality TV star broke his silence on the split, telling Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa he only heard the news through social media.
‘I sort of found out via Instagram,’ Stu claimed.
‘But having said that, we both knew in our hearts… We had discussed pushing more towards a friendship.’
