Sophie Monk and Stu Laundy have made their first red carpet appearance together as a couple at the 2017 ARIA Awards and it appears the couple are "newlyweds".

Is this a simple mistake or have the pair secretly married?

Despite declaring their love for one another just a month ago on the finale of The Bachelorette, the pair have been plagued with split rumours in recent weeks.

But the couple put on a defiant front as they walked the red carpet together.

The 45-year-old's appearance at the ARIA Awards comes as a surprise as Sophie said earlier in the week Stu would not be attending with her.

"No, he's not (coming). No, he doesn't want to go," the 37-year-old said on Monday on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show to guest host Guy Sebastian. "That's fine."

The publican clearly had a change of heart.

"It's been full on," the blonde beauty said. "We can't keep up with the press that's for sure."

According to a report in Woman's Day on Monday, Stu had broken up with the former Bardot star due to "jealousy" issues.

Be contacted Sophie and Stu's representative for comment who totally denied the report.
