He’s rumoured to be the man that captures Sophie Monk’s heart, but The Bachelorette intruder Stu Landry has a devastating secret.
The millionaire pub heir is still married, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The 44-year-old confirmed to the publication that he is still finalising his divorce with his wife Rachel, with whom he separated four years ago.
‘I prefer being married, absolutely,’ he said.
‘(Divorce) wasn’t my decision. But any chance of reconciling is pretty-much over I would say.’
‘And that’s basically why the divorce has taken so long. I really wanted to work it out,’ he continued.
According to the Daily Telegraph, ‘up until recently’ Stu was ‘desperate to repair his relationship’ with Rachel, after she instigated the split in 2013.
‘My kids are with my ex wife and I get every second weekend,’ he confirmed.
‘I had a couple of throw away years which people do after separation and divorce,’ he said.
‘All my friends wanted me to hook up with someone. I never said now. Sometimes it was like Tinder. It was two or three dates a week. It was a vicious cycle I was in for two years.’
Viewers will get the chance to judge St for themselves when he makes his first appearance on The Bachelorette on Wednesday.
