Ray J and Sophie Monk.

Why is the man from Kim Kardashian’s sex tape in a swimming pool of rose petals with Sophie Monk?

Good question.

His name is Ray J, and is you’ve never heard of him, here’s what you need to know:

1. He was the man who found fame as the male lead in Kim Kardashian’s sex tape.

2. He was also the man dating Whitney Houston at the time of her death.

And now he’s making headlines by frolicking topless with 32-year-old Monk in an advertising deal that’s rumoured to be worth $1 million for a cream that targets in-grown hair removal.

If that’s not enough to consume in 3 and a half paragraphs, there’s also rumours the pair are more than just swimming buddies.

To those suggestions, 32-year-old Monk said: “When my mother called me from Australia and asked me if I was leaving Whitney Houston’s ex-boyfriend’s house at 8:30 in the morning, I thought, “Wow, I finally made it in America!”

“But, in all seriousness … yes, I told my mama that I had been over at Ray J’s house, but I was there for a modelling job for a new campaign for Prince Reigns.”
