Kirribilli is the sixth most expensive suburb in Australia and the lavish apartment includes sweeping views of Sydney Harbour Bridge, an indoor pool, gym and large balcony.

Stu was educated at St Joseph’s College – an elite all-boys Catholic school, which now charges $30,000 per year for tuition. 

The scion still socialises with old school friends, and was recently seen with best friend Daniel Adamo enjoying lunch at Catalina Rose Bay – one of Sydney’s glitziest restaurants.

His father also owns 82-foot (24-metre) super yacht Waltzing Matilda, which features four bedrooms and a jacuzzi.

However, Sophie and Stu’s social circles overlap somewhat – given that she has many celebrity pals.

In 2016, Stu hosted Kelly Osborne aboard his dad’s grandiose yacht and Kelly is also a friend of Sophie’s.
