It’s been exactly a year since Monk’s Bachelorette journey came to an end when she chose 44-year-old father-of-four and third generation pub baron Stu Laundy. The pair split two months later in late January.
In August, the Love Island host revealed she was dating a man she met on a flight from Italy.
“The lights were down, everyone else was asleep,” Monk told the Kyle and Jackie O Show. “I went, ‘OK, shall we do this?’ And we kissed.”
The loved-up post comes after Monk revealed she underwent surgery for endometriosis in an Instagram story on Monday.
The 38-year-old media personality posted intimate footage of herself lying in a hospital bed, wearing a blue hospital gown and an oxygen mask as she is tended to by doctors and nurses.
In the first video a groggy Monk, holding her iPhone, talks with the male doctor as he delivers his diagnosis after what appears to be a surgical procedure.
“We did find some endometriosis, but not a lot,” says the doctor.
In a second video Monk is shown on a gurney unconscious under anaesthetic, surrounded by medical staff.
Monk added a caption to the video, reading, “So many women live not knowing they have endometriosis. If you have annoying cycles. You should ask your doctor,” and added a heart emoji.
She captioned the second video in which she is unconscious “Best sleep I’ve had in years.”
She also had plenty of praise for the staff of Monash IVF, a Sydney In Vitro Fertilisation clinic where she had the unnamed procedure, calling them “bloody legends” and “angels”.
It’s not known who took the video but Monk reveals that she had “asked to be filmed under [anaesthetic]!”
Last year, Monk revealed that she was looking into IVF treatment and freezing her eggs in order to realise her dream of becoming a later-in-life mum.
Endometriosis happens when tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the area. It can cause fertility problems and is often first diagnosed when women are seeking treatment for infertility. It can be incredibly painful.
