According to our well-placed insider, elite Sydney social circles are buzzing with speculation the former pop star has called time on her short-lived romance with the $500 million pub heir and that’s the real reason she fled to Thailand last week.
Unable to cope with his party lifestyle and harem of female admirers, Sophie wanted some time away to think about their future, but has since been left devastated by news that Stu has already moved on.
‘He has been spotted getting cosy with a recently separated Sydney socialite,’ says the source. ‘So there is not really any point in trying to work things out now.’
