Bacheloret­te Sophie finds Stu love, looks at IVF

- AMELIA SAW National TV writer

BACHELORET­TE Sophie Monk and winner Stu Laundy are considerin­g IVF as a possible way to overcome the vasectomy Laundy underwent several years ago.

Monk announced the Sydney billionair­e publican as her winner and Jarrod Woodgate as runner-up last night, overcoming her concerns Laundy may not be able to give her a child.

“[The vasectomy] doesn’t really matter because it can be reversed pretty quickly or regardless, I could go freeze my eggs and chuck ‘em over to wherever he’s got his sperm banked,” said Monk, 37, with her characteri­stic candour.

Laundy also confirmed he had “planned ahead” when undergoing his vasectomy a decade ago.

“We have two options but we haven’t really discussed them yet,” said the billionair­e publican. “We should probably go out and have a meal first.”

With the glamour of tropical islands and frequent helicopter rides now behind them, both Laundy and Monk said they were looking forward to spending “normal” time together without having to hideout.

In the two months since the finale was filmed, the couple have only seen each other twice, when they were taken to remote country properties for a few days at each visit.

As for whether Monk and Laundy will be tying the knot anytime soon, plans are on hold until Laundy finalises his divorce from Rachel Laundy.
