Sophie Monk is ecstatic about her engagement, but her fiancé’s ex says the announcement may have taken him by surprise.
With a trip to Australia looming, Sophie Monk may be relieved to escape Los Angeles and the increasingly strange love triangle she has found herself in since announcing her engagement.
When Sophie spoke of her engagement to 50-year-old multi-millionaire Jimmy Esebag a few weeks ago, she called him her “best friend of a long, long time”, and didn’t hesitate to express her love for her “soul partner”.
The songstress was also quick to point out that while the debonair Jimmy may be almost 20 years her senior, it’s she who is actually the lucky one. As Sophie revealed, the business tycoon is “a good lover” and “a keeper” – and it appears this is a view shared by his ex-wife, Renee, mother of his seven-year-old son.
The Aussie’s engagement to the man she has described as a “male version” of herself provoked some more than curious claims from Renee, who admits she was stunned by the announcement.
Renee, 34, who filed for divorce from Jimmy in March 2008 and finalised the separation last year, insists Sophie’s announcement may have taken even her ex-husband by surprise.
“I have a great relationship with my ex-husband and we are still best friends,” says Renee, who is CEO of the Elite Fashion Academy in LA. “We have a son together, and if he had known they were engaged, I’m sure he would have brought it to my attention.”
