Jackie ‘O’ Henderson reveals why she will keep her ex-husband’s surname

Despite splitting up, the radio host does not intend on changing her name back anytime soon, saying she has one very important reason why.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson split up from her husband Lee Henderson over two years ago, and they are still in the process of finalising their divorce.

But despite splitting up, the radio host does not intend on changing her name back anytime soon, admitting that “nobody wants” her maiden name, Last.

Chatting onThe Kyle and Jackie O Showon Monday, the 45-year-old told her co-host Kyle Sandilands that she will keep the Henderson name for one pretty important reason.

The blonde admitted she wanted to share the same last name as her daughter Kitty.

“Yeah, yeah, keeping it,” she said. “Usually when you have a child you just keep that name. It’s quite common … I want to keep it.”

Sandilands joked that the only good thing about her maiden name Last was how short it was. “Jackie Last. Looks great on a number plate,” he joked.

The radio host spoke about keeping the Henderson last name back in April, while chatting to Kyly Clarke, who is in the process of divorcing retired Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke.

Clarke, 38, said she felt it was “important” for her to share the same last name as her four-year-old daughter, Kelsey-Lee Clarke.

Jackie agreed with her.

“That’s the surname of your daughter, and I’m the same. I want to keep the same surname as well for that very reason,” she said.

Clarke responded: “Absolutely … I think it’s funny how sometimes you make such a fuss in the beginning about changing names or not changing names. But yeah, I think it’s very important that our last names are the same and I love that.”

Meanwhile, Henderson recently addressed a pretty nasty rumour that has followed her for years.

During a recent interview with Australian singer Amy Shark, Sandilands, 49, joked that Jackie was accused of doing cocaine “because of the caved-in nose”.

Jackie said that she’s “never taken the drug in her whole life” while speculating about how that kind of rumour has followed her for so long.

“Can you believe – how can I have that rumour?” she laughed.

Amy Shark asked Jackie O if she had ever tried it while she was living on the Gold Coast, to which Jackie replied: “No, never!”

“Good girl!” Amy responded.

Kyle then jumped in, “She loved the weed dealer dudes!”

Jackie laughed: “He was my boyfriend, so …”

In April this year, Jackie claimed that the rumour started in the mid-2000s.

“It’s because I got really skinny,” she explained on the radio show, claiming that it was all started by a “few people” in her industry who just wanted to start drama.

She then swore on her daughter Kitty’s life that she had “never done cocaine”, saying: “I’ve just never been interested. I really haven’t.”
