Sophie Monk shuts down rumours she's dating MAFS' Ryan


Reality TV fans have become extremely excited over the rumour Love Island host and former Bachelorette star Sophie Monk may have found love with Married At First Sight contestant Ryan Gallagher.

But while Ryan came forward yesterday to confirm they are ‘talking’, Sophie has now taken a sledgehammer to our hearts by revealing there’s nothing romantic between them.

Setting the record straight, the 38-year-old told KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O that she was “100 per cent single”.

“I’m not dating anyone. [I’m] 100 per cent single. I want to stay single for a while,” she told the radio hosts on Tuesday.

However, she didn’t rule out a love story with the 30-year-old tradie, describing him as “funny and sweet”.

Yesterday, Ryan had told the breakfast radio show they were in contact via Instagram, something Sophie also confirmed.

“You realise I’ve never met Ryan, like, in the flesh?” she said. “I’ve spoken to him on the phone through Jackie…[but] I’ve never met this guy.”

“Ryan also said it was radio presenter Jackie O who set the pair up,” they added.

While our hopes of the greatest reality TV love story of all time appear to have been dashed, we are glad both of them have found comfort in their new friendship.

After all, Sophie’s heart was broken when her relationship with pub millionaire Stu Laundy didn’t work out and Ryan was ‘cheated’ on by his on-screen wife Davina Rankin.
