From the very moment Stu Laundy received Sophie Monkโ€™s last rose on The Bachelorette finale โ€“ there were doubts.

In the week of the finale, the millionaire was spotted with a mystery blonde, then Sophie and Stuโ€™s first public interview raised many eyebrows.

But we all hoped theyโ€™d get their Osher-approved happily ever after.

Sadly, on Australia Day โ€“ exactly three months after season final aired โ€“ Sophie Monk announced her relationship was over.

While the pair have spoken candidly about the split, Stu has taken a moment to clarify many of our concerns.

The romance lasted six months.

Talking to Confidential, he said, โ€œIโ€™ve got a friend for life โ€ฆ I think Soph and I were meant to be mates like a fate thing.โ€

The dad-of-four then admitted the blonde beauty was never the love of his life and that spot was already taken by his ex-wife.

In 2013, his marriage to Rachel ended but the exes still co-parent their four daughters together and share custody.

โ€œSophโ€™s and my story is our story,โ€ Stu added.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry to Australia but the reality is most of these stories will finish with the couple not together.โ€

Stu and Rachel finalised their divorce settlement late last year, but News Corp reported the multi-millionaire had held off the divorce in the hope of reconciling with his wife.

Stu said: โ€œI prefer being married absolutely. (Divorce) wasnโ€™t my decision. But any chance of reconciling is pretty-much over I would say.โ€

There was also speculation that Stu, who is heir to a rumoured $500 million fortune, was โ€œshopping aroundโ€ to sell his story to the highest bidder.

But the proud dad says thatโ€™s the โ€œlast thingโ€ heโ€™d ever do would rather leave the spotlight for good.

โ€œIโ€™d like to fade out but Iโ€™ll serve anyone in Australia a beer if they ever want to pop in.โ€
