Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim was spotted on Thursday with Kyle Sandilands’ model girlfriend Tegan Kynaston two days after her court appearance.

What Kyle and Jackie O hate about each other

John Ibrahim keeps his friends close — and his friends’ girlfriends closer.

The former nightclub owner was spotted at Uliveto cafe in King’s Cross mid-morning Thursday with Tegan Kynaston, the troubled girlfriend of KIIS 106.5 radio shock jock and Ibrahim’s long-time friend Kyle Sandilands.

Ms Kynaston, who has been dating Sandilands for several months, faced Waverley Local Court earlier this week where she admitted to assaulting a police officer while high on cocaine after a roadside lover’s spat with the 48-year-old in Bondi last month.

Ibrahim’s own long-term girlfriend Sarah Budge attended court in September last year after an Australian Federal Police raid at her Double Bay Home revealed a stolen and defaced Glock 26 pistol and a loaded magazine hidden in her bedroom wardrobe in August 2017.

Texts tendered to the court revealed the model’s tumultuous relationship with Ibrahim and she was acquitted of all three charges.

Similarly, police observed a series of texts received by Sandilands from Ms Kynaston, 33, reading “U are a coward,” “you are the worst,” “I hate u,” and “so it’s on you,” before she was detained in the early morning of December 7.

Sandilands, who recently landed Australia’s biggest radio deal alongside his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, wasn’t spotted with the pair on Thursday but has been linked to Ibrahim for many years, publicly defending the 49-year-old on several occasions after police raids.

Ms Kynaston — who is communications director of Sandilands’ company King Kyle — will return to court on April 14 where she will apply to be dealt with under section 32 of the mental health act instead of the criminal justice system.
