The other day, I made the Sophie-Monk-engagement story the lead link, thinking that barely anyone would care. Well, you did care! And how. So Sophie is 31 years old, and she’s now engaged to a 51 year old “businessman” that she’s only “dated” for three months. I called him a sugar daddy the other day, but that was me just being a HATER. Sophie has given a new interview to an Australian publication where she says that she knows that people are going to hate on her love match, but she doesn’t care. She also talks about all of the plastic surgery she’s had:
Sophie Monk has a regret or two when it comes to her looks — revealing that she wishes she had opted to stay natural and not bow to pressure to undergo plastic surgery.
The beautiful 31-year-old Australian is believed to have had botox, collagen injections and a breast enlargement in her bid to make it big in the US – something she now regrets.
“I should have said no, but I trusted the doctor,” she said to Australia’s Who magazine.
She also talked about her battle with weight: “The stress of this business tends to come out through my body. Either I eat too much or I eat nothing. I need to be more responsible for my body,” she said.
Monk once dated a plastic surgeon, Dr. John Diaz, as well as Ryan Seacrest and Benji Madden, but is now engaged to American businessman Jimmy Esebag, who is 20 years her senior.
The couple have been friends for years but started dating only three months ago — and the model says she couldn’t be happier.
“I’ve never had someone balance me out in a relationship before. They’ve either been workaholics too, or I needed to make the money for them,” she said. “With Jimmy, I just love everything about him. I know people are going to make remarks about us, but it doesn’t bother me. Jimmy is worldly and smart and I want to be with someone I can learn from. I love everything about him. He’s given me a new perspective on life.”

Wow, Ryan Seacrest, some dude who once dated Paris Hilton, a plastic surgeon who screwed up her face, and now a “bidnessman”? Sophie has truly appalling taste in men.
As far as the plastic surgery confession – if she has so many regrets, why is her face still so jacked with Botox? Seriously, she looks like a wax figure. Or a blonde Kardashian.
Here are some more pics of Sophie with her sugar daddy. Does anyone else think he looks like a creepy, mobbed-up version of Ciaran Hinds?

Wow, that last picture is scary.
She has pretty eyes, at least.
Seriously, why does anyone find that puffed-up lip look attractive? It’s so disturbing (especially in that first picture). *shudder*
Chuck “We will be back in two and two” Woolery.
Wow. She sounds like she has experienced pain and dissappointment and she’s got some humility about it.
I thought she came across well. Pretty girl, too…such a shame about the surgeries.
But yeah, she has terrible taste in men. But so do I so I can’t really judge.
All my boyfriends and now my husband have been 17 – 18 years older than me, and played golf. To me there’s nothing hotter than an old golfer. Yum.
Geeeez.
I’ll take my below average appearance and my luke warm self esteem over looking like my cheeks are being pulled together by a shy squirrel I just swallowed any day.
How can one be so pretty and so deluded about those looks?
Wow. I thought Kim K was looking increasingly like a RealDoll, but I think our Soph’s got her beat.
Are we absolutely sure she is not just an animatronic latex figure?
@ embee – I totally agree with everything you said.
She was pretty when she dated Benji, I remember that. I need to go hunting for some before photos.
And at least she dated Benji before Paris gave him the herp.
holy jesus that last photo– i’m gonna go out on a limb here and say this was a day she just ate wayyyyy too much!! 😛
OMG…she got a really raw deal on those lips. The last pics of her legs looks like a trackless train tunnel. This explains the sugar daddy – they like train sets.
If anyone tried to talk me into doing something like altering my appearance, much less pressure me, I’d tell them to f**k off.
I also don’t get why sane people would consider having some sort of invasive procedure that made them look like a duckbill or leave them with a chronic condition of trout pout.
Poor thing. She looks and sounds like a mess. Hence, the “sugar daddies”.
She went to the wrong doctor, instead of a plastic surgeon, she should have gone to a shrink because it sounds like she has self esteem issues to deal with.
He is revolting looking *shudder* (seriously, can you imagine having sex with that? She must cum $ signs..).
This brings a whole new meaning to ‘the odd couple’.
And she is ruining her face 🙁 , she used to be very pretty. I hope she doesn’t touch anything else on her face.
Oy, her thighs and the bones in her sternum in that last pic make a good case for a sandwich or 10. She could be interestingly pretty if she was healthy and quit messing with her face
That guy looks WAY older than 50! And, yeah, that last picture of her looks scary, scary skinny.
I’m guessing her taste in men and her surgeries are low self-esteem issues. She seems to date pretty much anyone who smiles at her. You forgot to list that she went on vacation with Russell Simmons a while back. I really do think that she’ll fall for a guy who’ll pay attention to her.
Wow, she looks awful now! Her lips & chipmunk cheeks look really painful! I remember when she dated Benji Madden (I don’t really know why & I wish I didn’t remember that) & she was really pretty then.
I gather from her wiki page that she is pop singer & has had some small roles in a handful of TV shows & movies, but other than that isn’t she one of the “famous for being famous” girls?
What are the odd lines by her mouth from?
The fact that she is 31 and not 21 makes me cringe less about the age difference. She’s old enough to make her own decisions. Other than that, I have no idea who she is. I’ve never seen her act in anything.
she was funny in date movie and so pretty! if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
No, I don’t think he looks likes Ciaran Hinds. If he looked like Ciaran Hinds, at least I’d understand the attraction.
What is a “businessman”? Is that actually a thing? I would think it means business owner, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
she’s sooo beautiful
why did she mess herself up
Ewww, Kaiser… Ciaran Hinds? I think you just may have ruined him for me. LOL. But you’re absolutely right.
I wish she hadn’t gotten plastic surgery either. That first picture is burning my eyes.
I think her legs look awesome in that last pic..im freaking JEALOUS.
Her legs look awesome? Really? To each her own, I guess. I think they look like they’d break in half
I remember just a few brief years ago when she first started dating Benji M ( I empathise Bodhi…..why I vividly remember this I do not know)…..what I DO vividly remember is how SO SO pretty I thought she was. Now, meh, one in a million.
I can’t hate on her because of the way her boyfriend looks. We don’t really know. Maybe he treats her like gold. Frankly, I’d take him over Ryan Seacrest.
If her hair was lighter she’d look exactly like Francine from American dad in that first pic.
@jen34
“Maybe he treats her like gold.”
You mean, keeps her burried in the back yard while his other “assets” depreciate?
Poor thing – last photo, looks like she’s going to snap in half. Methinks Esebag = a Sleazebag
Hollywood’s idea of beauty is so far away from a real beauty, they all look worse after plastic surgeries and botox.
Beauty isn’t a perfection.
I remember her old pictures, she used to be very beautiful and natural.
She used to be so much better looking when she first appeared on Popstars in Australia (like a precursor to the Idol shows). Before the reality show she worked as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator and came across as a nice and funny girl. It’s sad that she felt she had to have plastic surgery when there was absolutely no need for it.
Here’s a website with before and after photos: http://entertainment.msn.co.nz/blog.aspx?blogentryid=600527&showcomments=true
OK I was one that bagged on her but if she really is happy and isnt marrying him for money alone than I wish them much happiness.
I respect her being honest about her plastic surgery. She did look better before the surgeries. No one thinks any less of her for being honest so why do so many celebs deny it (Yes Nicole Kidman we are talking to you).
Brin – just because someone gets plastic surgery doesnt mean they have self esteem issues. Yes a ton of surgery/total face & body transformation a la Michael Jackson or Heidi then yes there is a self esteem issue there but the things Sophie had done are common place in Hollywood and the industry. Its a whole different world – it isnt main stream America and i dont think it necessarily means you have no self esteem if you chose to have plastic surgery once.
A case of “paranthesis thighs” if I ever saw one.
On a side note, I totally have a thing for drag queens or cross dressing men- but no other people talking or caring wouldnt stop me. Its what I like- why take that away form yourself to comply with other peoples demands?
@Kaiser – “Does anyone else think he looks like a creepy, mobbed-up version of Ciaran Hinds?”
…Wow. You’re absolutely right about that one. o.O
…Are her eyes 2 different colors, or is it just that first picture?
So stupid. And how dumb does she think we are?
She “trusted” the wrong doctor? She could ONLY have been in a plastic surgeon’s office looking for unnecessary narcissistic work to be done on herself and he fooled her by suggesting … plastic surgery. Yes, a violation of trust.
And look at her old man. She can’t love “everything” about him. Looks are her world his are a wreck.
She should have stayed natural and worked on her brain and talent. She’d have been fierce. Instead she’s a sleaze taking all the shortcuts in life, and now she’s a starving plastic face who has to have sex with an unsexy crater face for a living.
She probably forgot her color contact, or one fell out. Cos you know, there’s not enough thats fake about her now LOL
The surgeries for Sopie started when she developed cyst on her upper lip and half of it was removed. The problem was, it was fixed by that plastic surgeon whom I think the guy she dated. She had terrible past. The doctor she dated cheated her with another woman and she caught them on bed.
I love Sophie Monk. Shes so nice and sexy woman. I think because of those men, she developed insecurity and thus she changed her looks. i still like her looks,except for upper lip, she got the face for big lips. her lower lip was already big.
Dating boys surely made her tired and now just want to relax and settle down with older man.
If shes happy, im happy for her too.
So stop the injections of collegen and botox……..but she won’t.
She has issues…like Anorexia mixed with the obsession of looking like a 14 year old girl.
I think Botox is ok in little ammounts or just a better plastic surgent! sometimes you would think they just do it on purpose to hulmuliate the celeb ! Her being a model!
