The star recently revealed to The Saturday Telegraph’s BW magazine how she has struggled to find the right relationship.

“You’ve seen me in and out of love too many times,” she said. “If I wasn’t in this industry I reckon I’d be married with four kids already but it is tough.”

Monk has dated a string of high-profile men over the years, including Sam Worthington, Ryan Seacrest, Benji Madden, Jason Statham and most recently Eric Grothe Jr.
