Sophie Monk has given fans a rare insight into her marriage to husband Josh Gross.
The Love Island host has revealed Josh is very supportive of her career and recently stepped back from neurosurgical robotics to be by her side.
‘He’s a very secure man. What I do for a job can bring out insecurities in guys and I totally get it, because I’d be the same,’ she told Stellar magazine.
‘Often in movies I’ve had to do things … It’s just not natural for a relationship in some ways.’
She added: ‘I waited later to meet someone. I was waiting for the right person and I’m so glad I did.’
The couple first met on a flight from Europe to Australia in August 2018 and shared a kiss after enjoying ‘three champagnes’ in business class.

Sophie and Joshua wed in a private ceremony at their Central Coast, NSW home in 2022.
The American-born tech entrepreneur recently told Daily Mail Australia he’s happily embraced life in the background.
‘I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. One minute I’m working from home, next I’m on the Gold Coast filming a movie or in Spain filming Love Island,’ Josh began.
‘Life with Soph is never dull and I wouldn’t change a thing.’
‘I don’t really live my life in the spotlight. That’s the beauty of being behind the camera. I’ve always liked it that way, supporting from the background and capturing the moments,’ he said.
While he prefers to stay out of the spotlight, Josh has unwittingly become a familiar face on red carpets and social media – often spotted snapping glamorous photos of his famous wife.
‘Sophie is incredibly beautiful and photogenic, so if the photo isn’t great, it’s on me,’ he quipped.
‘She’s got a sixth sense for her best side, and I’ve got a mental checklist every time I pull out the phone. Lighting matters – golden hour is magic.

‘Don’t be afraid to crouch, climb or contort to get the shot. With the right phone camera, you can nail it on the first try – and rack up serious brownie points too.’
He also revealed a little-known fact about his reality TV star wife.
‘What you see is what you get with Soph… I think she’s a lot funnier than what people realise. She’s my best friend and we laugh a lot,’ Josh said.
Despite the scrutiny that often comes with dating a celebrity, Josh says the public have only ever shown warmth towards Sophie – and to him by extension.
