Kyle Sandilands has been dating his former assistant for months, friends say.
The controversial 48-year-old radio host is understood to have kept his relationship with Tegan Kynaston under wraps until finally revealing he has split from girlfriend of eight years Imogen Anthony on his KIIS FM breakfast show.
“We haven’t been with each other for quite a few months now,” he told listeners on November 5 of the split from Anthony.
“Unfortunately it’s run its course.”
When contacted, Sandilands’ representative “politely declined” to comment on the new relationship. Friends however say Sandilands is serious about Kynaston.
“Everyone knows they are together,” a friend said. “For Kyle, it is all about her, he doesn’t spend time with anyone else other than her. It is common knowledge in Kyle’s inner circle.”
Kynaston, 33, works as Director of Communications for Sandiland’s company King Kyle Pty Ltd.
She started with Sandilands five years ago, initially as a personal assistant before moving into the broader communications and business role.
While known mostly for his radio and TV work and arguably our highest-profile media identity, Sandilands presides over a diverse range of business interests.
King Kyle Pty Ltd’s businesses include H2Coco, SB Haulage and music company Young and Vicious.
That’s on top of the recently signed new five-year deal with KIIS worth up to $50 million, or $39,000 he pockets from each episode of his breakfast radio show with Jackie O.
Sandilands also owns homes in Sydney and Los Angeles, a $2.98 million farm near Robertson in the Southern Highlands, and a $5 million Mediterranean-style mansion in the US.
When working in Sydney, Sandilands reportedly stays in an $8 million rental property in Hunters Hill.
Sandilands also has an extensive luxury car collection that includes a Rolls Royce, a Lamborghini, a Bentley and a Range Rover.
Kynaston’s Facebook page lists her as owner/director of alcohol brand Nueva Sangria, a company that has Sandilands as founder on its website after he partnered with winemakers Sam Bowman and David Kynaston (Tegan’s brother) to develop fruit-infused wine from hand-selected vineyards in premium Australian wine regions.
“Nueva Sangria moves beyond its Spanish roots to become more sophisticated — a place somewhere between a cocktail and fine wine,” Sandilands told The Telegraph of the brand when it launched in March.
Amid ongoing interest in his personal life, Sandilands again flew to Los Angeles at the weekend and will broadcast his breakfast show from there this week.
Kynaston was by his side as the pair arrived in LA, although they reportedly walked through the terminal separately to avoid being photographed together.
It was Kynaston who just a few weeks ago was snapped having lunch with Sandilands when he was in LA after the Virgin Mary controversy, when he joked that the Virgin Mary was a liar who got “knocked up behind a camel shed” and that those who believed the Bible were “dumb as dogs..t”.
Sandilands subsequently apologised live on air, stating he was “dumb” to make the offensive comments, which sparked outrage and protests from Christians and Muslims and calls for him to be sacked.
The outspoken radio host has had a 30-second delay added to his show since starting at KIIS in 2014.
On Friday, Anthony addressed the breakup with Sandilands, saying the pair “still love each other”.
“We still love each other very much, we speak every day, we still see each other, we do things with each other, we share the farm, we share this fat lump of a dog plus the other ones,” she said, describing the relationship as being in a “grey area”.
