“He was just working so much. It was just work, work, work, work, work. You know, and I want to have kids and we just kind of grew apart,” she said on the Channel 7 show.

“Just didn’t expect everything to happen the way it did afterwards and then he’s confused, and he doesn’t know what he wants.

“I’m thinking what other choice do I have, this is the person I’ve been with for so long of course I’m going to hang on a whim and then maybe … do we get back together? And then all of a sudden, things were just too undeniable, and I was like, ‘What are you doing?’.”

Sandilands confirmed his split from Anthony in November 2019 and weeks later, it was revealed that he was dating his communications director, Tegan Kynaston.

“I wanted things that he couldn’t give me,” Anthony said.

“Money and fame isn’t the be all and end all of life, It’s nice for a little while but I want to have children that can run around with their father and not be put behind work and I want someone’s time.

“I’m not going to let someone else write my narrative for me.”

Last year, the model leaked private text messages that she received from Sandilands after their split and accused the radio star of giving her mixed messages.

In August, Sandilands announced on-air that he and Kynaston, 35, are trying for a baby.

“ … We have decided that we’ll try for a baby I suppose. There’s a lot of pressure, I didn’t want to bring it up in case she feels pressure,” he said on the Kyle and Jackie O show.
