Kyle Sandilands and Tegan Kynaston smitten with newborn son Otto

Kyle Sandilands’ newborn son Otto has received a right royal welcome, with prime ministers and a former premier rushing to congratulate the radio king and his fiancee on the birth.

Everyone gets congratulatory calls on the birth of a bub, but it’s no ordinary baby when those calls come from the Prime Minister, a former prime minister, a former NSW premier and the self-styled last King of the Cross.

So, while Kyle Sandilands had intended on focusing solely on newborn son Otto, there are some calls you just have to take.

But, for the most part, he and fiancee Tegan Kynaston just sit and marvel at their baby boy, a 3kg, 51cm-long bundle who’s changed everything.

“We just look at him the entire time, like a couple of goons, just staring at him — and then we look at each other and smile,” an emotional Sandilands told The Sunday Telegraph from Prince of Wales Private Hospital on Saturday.

“And then we have a little tear.”

Sandilands and Kynaston announced they were having a baby boy in February this year.

“He’s looking and he’s got his little tongue out. He’s been very quiet — I’m told that could change, but he’s not crying and screaming.

“He’s feeding perfectly and Tegan’s been doing very well.”

Otto, which means wealth and prosperity, was delivered by caesarean on Thursday morning. His birth was quite the eye-opener for the KIIS FM host who, by his own admission, doesn’t like to see blood.

But holding his son makes it all worthwhile.

“When I’ve held other friends’ babies I’ve hated it when they have that floppy neck and it’s all a bit much for me – but him, it was different,” he said.

“That natural thing may have kicked in.

“He’s lovely, he’s got a big head full of hair, and most of the nurses that have come in have gone: ‘Oh, you don’t see a head full of hair like that very often’ — it’s great.

“Obviously, being 51, I’ve seen babies and heard all the stories but it’s a totally different feeling when it’s yours.”

He and Tegan felt more than prepared for the new addition, gathering every baby gadget on the market, and were actually relieved that Covid precautions meant no visitors, letting them connect as a new family.

“We had everything going into it, every bit of advice, we got every item,” Sandilands said.

“Like all parents you go to Baby Bunting, doing all that shit that everyone does.

“It was a whole new world of fabulous things neither of us have been involved in. And then we were just sitting there, waiting.

“I was neck-deep into the show for the morning and it all just turned into a blur.

“I don’t know what happened afterwards, we just jumped into the car and off we went.

“But it was all very smooth.

“The funniest thing was I was filming Tegan and I was talking when she was in the theatre and she goes: ‘Well, they haven’t started yet’ and I lifted up the iPad to look over the sheet and they had definitely started.

“And I had to sit back down again because I saw blood and I was like: ‘Ooohhh’. I mean even if she stubs her toe I get all queasy, I don’t like it.”

Baby Otto has already FaceTimed his preordained best mate Elvis, the 11-month-old son of Sandilands’ best mate John Ibrahim.

The two dads look forward to father-son dates pushing prams with Baby Bjorns slung across their chests.

“How far we’ve come,” Sandilands laughed.

“John’s actually rung me the most, texting, ringing. Elvis has been on FaceTime — obviously that wasn’t a big chat, neither of them saying much but just getting to know each other.

“I was dodging the family on the first day because you just want to look at him, and then you see the Prime Minister’s name coming up on the phone and then the old prime minister, and then the old premier, and you’re like: I’d better answer some of these calls’.

“The weirdest thing is my mum is like: ‘Oh, he looks exactly like you did on the day you were born’ and Tegan’s mum is like: ‘Oh he looks exactly like you did’ and I’m like: ‘They’re so full of shit. They all look the same, like babies.”

They should be able to go home on Monday after Otto’s hearing test, but may stay until Tuesday for Tegan to be observed after the C-section.

Sandilands has been making friends with fellow new dads at the hospital, and raved about staff and the food, which has far exceeded his expectations of cold tea and stale bickies.

“Everyone here is lovely and the nurses are great,” he said.

“You know what’s really exciting here. I ticked a little box for morning tea, expecting it would be some Jetstar biscuit in a bit of plastic and they swan in here with a tiered tray of cakes and patisseries. It’s like you’re having high tea in Beverly Hills somewhere.

“I’m having steaks and all sorts of things, loving it.

“Tegan’s drinking water and sucking ice blocks and I’m hoeing into everything.

“We’re thrilled, all our parents are thrilled, and thank god for Covid restrictions because no one can visit and no deliveries, so we don’t have people bursting in every five minutes, it’s just on the phone.”

Sleeping on a chaise lounge in the hospital, Sandilands can’t wait to get back to the “big golden bed”.

“This morning we woke up and I thought there was another woman there in the room because the breasts had exponentially grown overnight,” he said.

“I said: ‘What on Earth’ and she’s laughing, but everything, we’re told, is great.

“He’s had all his little tests and his little needles and he didn’t even cry.

“He’s a tough little bugger already. I feel high but I’m not. It’s a nice feeling.

“He’s just a little cutie magootie — whatever that word means, I just invented it.”

Sandilands will be back on air on Monday.
