And Stu Laundy, 44, could very well be a perfect match for Sophie if those in the Laundy inner circle are to be believed.
Speaking to the Sun Herald this week, an insider claimed 37-year-old Sophie has chosen the millionaire as ‘the one’ and that they make a great couple.

‘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.

The source also revealed that it makes sense for Stu, who is expected to join the Bachelorette as an intruder, to try to find love on a reality show, given his penchant for ‘being in the spotlight’, having already starred in the SBS show Filthy Rich And Homeless earlier this year.
‘He likes people to know who he is, but he is a great guy,’ the source told the publication.

Of the 18 hopefuls currently in the mansion, eight are in their 20s with the youngest being Apollo and Harry who are both 24.
Sophie has previously said she is looking for someone with a few more years under their belt.
