What made Kyle Sandilands cry on air

Kyle Sandilands has softened on his thoughts of one day becoming a father.

Opening up to Sydney Confidential, the top FM breakfast radio host said it was crunch time as to whether or not he pursued the option of having a child with his partner Tegan Kynaston.

“It is definitely not off the cards,” Sandilands told this column.

“It has never really been on my priority list and I think that is just because I was that kid that dragged around my childhood issues from my parents’ divorce and this and that.”

Sandilands celebrated his milestone 50th birthday last year, while Kynaston is 35.

He has long spoken about his difficult childhood and the fact he spent time sleeping in his car homeless in his teenage years.

He has also previously stated he believes he is too selfish to have children.

“When you think about it, because my mates have all got kids … young ones, and now I feel a bit left out,” the KIIS host explained.

“At first when they were showing me videos of this kid walking, I was like, ‘who cares? Big deal’. But now I look forward to it when my god child comes over.

“My girlfriend has got friends as well with young kids and they are not as horrible as I first thought, they are actually quite fun.”

In October, Sandilands spoke on air of his potential baby plans, revealing he intended to undergo fertility testing.

“There’s a lot of pressure. I didn’t want to bring it up in case she feels pressure,” he said at the time.

Sandilands, who recently announced he had bought into virtual tipping app TapJar, is currently holidaying with Kynaston in Queensland at the Cairns retreat that they have been renovating since purchasing it last February.
