Sophie Monk On Marriage, Motherhood & Turning 40

This season when the cameras start rolling on Love Island Australia, a completely different Sophie Monk will appear on screen.

While last year she hosted the first season of the show fresh from her break-up with The Bachelorette winner Stu Laundy, this year, the 39-year-old has met The One.

The blonde bombshell met neurosurgical robotics executive Josh Gross, 40, on an aeroplane late last year and he has since relocated from the US to move into Monk’s Gold Coast home. “It’s awesome. He’s lovely,” she tells WHO. “He keeps me balanced. I’m crazy and he keeps me grounded. He’s like ‘you’re overthinking, relax’. Or, ‘No offence, this person doesn’t care about you, they’re not thinking about you right now, you’re over-obsessing’.”

The happy couple are not only now planning a wedding, but also a family, after Monk decided to freeze some of her eggs late last year as an insurance policy.

“We’re trying to decide now,” Monk says of where they plan to locate their future family home. “Sometimes I think Sydney. We might move. We’re deciding that. From a business perspective [Sydney is] better. Being on the Gold Coast is awesome, but I don’t know anyone. We just hang out at the BP. The 7/11 coffee, it’s $1. If you bring a cup, it’s free.”

It’s a big year for the actress, TV presenter, singer and businesswoman, who will celebrate her 40th birthday in December. “I feel 100,” she says, laughing. “I mean in terms of experiences!”

Monk’s 40th will also mark 20 years in the spotlight, having built an incredible résumé despite her young age. Here, the beloved star talks about how different her life is these days in every way, from her confidence, to her career, to her love life.
