THE Bachelorette favourite tipped to win Sophie Monk’s heart has revealed he has undergone a vasectomy — the news comes after Monk emotionally declared her desire to have a family.

Hotel heir and intruder Stu Laundy, 44, who already has four children with his first wife, told TV Week that he got the snip but he could have it reversed.

“I love kids more than life itself,” he said.

“I was married and had four beautiful kids and then I had a vasectomy. You can get them reversed obviously and I would easily go there if the situation arose.”

Laundy also quashed rumours claiming “I’m not” when asked whether he was a player.

“I don’t know how to convince you that I’m not. I’m not that guy,” he added to the publication.

“I was with someone for 15 years so I think that rules me out of being that guy. I was happy (married) and I want that again.

“I like marriage and I would much prefer to be with someone. Having someone is nice.”

Laundy told Confidential this month that he was uncomfortable with the impact the show has had on his ex-wife and children.

“I’ve been pretty clear that I enjoyed married life with my ex-wife. I enjoyed my children and it wasn’t my decision (to end the relationship). I was heartbroken. But you don’t want to be lonely so I’ve been trying to meet someone,” he said at the time.

Last month, Laundy revealed he was still legally married and that he was finalising his divorce settlement four years after his wife Rachel instigated a separation.
