The former popstar spills the beans on marriage and her TV obsessions
Sophie Monk's been married for nearly four years, so the host of Love Island Australia and Beauty And The Geek knows a thing or two about love.
But while the onetime Bardot popstar and her husband Joshua Gross have a solid union, Sophie admits they still argue just as much as the rest of us – although perhaps not about what we’d expect!
“When Married At First Sight is airing, that’s the time we fight the most in our relationship,” the 45-year-old confesses. “I’ll take someone’s side and he’ll take someone else’s, then it’s on!”
Her hubby, who never watched reality TV before meeting Sophie, is now as hooked as she is. In fact, reality and true crime are the only genres they watch at home on the Central Coast, just north of Sydney.
“He hated reality TV before me and now he can’t watch anything else,” laughs Sophie, who was the leading lady on The Bachelorette Australia in 2017, as well as appearing on This story is from the November 10, 2025 edition of Woman’s Day Magazine New Zealand.
