Kyle Sandilands has welcomed his first child in dramatic circumstances, abandoning his live radio show to make it to the hospital in time for the birth.
The shock jock and his fiancee Tegan Kynaston, 36, are now proud parents to a baby boy they have named Otto.
Sandilands, 51, was broadcasting from his home studio when he had to walk out of The Kyle and Jackie O show when he realized the baby was on its way.
“I think I might have to leave the show… and go to the hospital,” he said.
Jackie O responded: “Oh, it’s time!”
“Calm down, we don’t want the kid coming too soon,” Sandilands responded. “Guys, I’m so sorry. I feel very unprepared. I’ve got to run
… I feel like I’m abandoning you, but I’m there for my child.”
Seconds later he was off air and Jackie O was left to host the show on her own. Not long after, though, she was able to share the happy news with her listeners that the birth had gone smoothly and the little one had arrived healthy.
“If you’ve just tuned in, little Otto has been born. It’s so hectic – I feel like I can’t think straight!” said Jackie O, who is Otto’s godmother.
Sandilands later phoned into the show, sharing some fairly graphic details about the birth.
“I cut the cord, I didn’t realize it was like tough calamari and blood spurted out. I was the first person to touch him, he sh*t himself, poo was oozing out,” he added.
And, he’s not planning to take too much time out to enjoy new fatherhood, with his manager confirming he will be back on his radio show on Friday to talk about his son and the birth.
Sandilands announced he and Kynaston were expecting their first child in February, with Jackie O admitting at the time she “never thought I’d see the day where Kyle would become a dad.”
“I know I’ve always sounded like I’m against children but when you think, ‘Oh, do you want to have your own child’, and you meet someone and you think, ‘Oh, yeah, I do want to have a child’,” Sandilands said.
Sandilands and Kynaston got engaged in Queensland over the Christmas holidays.
Actor Nicola Peltz-Beckham has opened up about the rumored feud with her husband’s mother, Victoria “Posh” Beckham, for the first time.
Speculation has been swirling for months that Peltz, who married Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn in April, has been in a bitter stand-off with her mother-in-law, with the bad blood kicking off in the lead up to the wedding.
Now, the 27-year-old has finally addressed the rumours.
In a new interview with Variety, Peltz has denied all the allegations stating she believes the rumors began when she decided not to wear a wedding dress designed by Beckham.
“I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, (Victoria) realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” she explained.
“She didn’t say you can’t wear it; Ella i did n’t say ella I did n’t want to wear it. ”
Peltz, whose dad is a billionaire businessman, ended up wearing a stunning custom white Valentino gown designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli, featuring a long train and veil with floral embellishments that matched those on her sheer opera gloves.
Brooklyn didn’t say much about the drama in the interview just saying, “Everyone gets along, which is good.”
The newlywed tied the knot in a lavish Palm Beach wedding with celebrity guests including Mel C, Serena and Venus Williams, Marc Anthony, Eva Longoria, Jordana Brewster, and Gordon Ramsay.
Late last week, Page Six was reporting that Peltz and Posh Beckham were in a “cold-war” feud and hadn’t spoken for months.
Insiders even suggested that Brooklyn was no longer on speaking terms with his famous parents, with their relationship fractured as a result of the alleged feud between his wife and mum.
Just months after she was publicly served with legal papers in front of the world, Olivia Wilde has won her custody battle against her ex Jason Sudeikis.
The Hollywood star and director was victorious in a California court after the judge ruled that their two children — eight-year-old Otis and five-year-old Daisy — would continue to call the Golden State home, not New York as the Ted Lasso star had hoped.
The judgment came after the 38-year-old actress claimed that Sudeikis, 46, had arranged for the custody documents to be served in April “in the most aggressive way possible”, as she was speaking on a CinemaCon panel about her new movie.
In a filing, Wilde claimed that Sudeikis — who she was in a relationship with from 2011 until 2020 — intended to “embarrass” and “threaten” her by getting the papers delivered in such a public setting.
“Jason’s actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard. He could have served me discreetly, but instead, he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible,” she said in court documents.
“The fact that Jason would embarrass me professionally and put our personal conflict on public display in this manner is extremely contrary to our children’s best interests. Since Jason has made it clear that we will not be able to work this out for our children’s sake outside of the court system, I filed a petition for custody in Los Angeles.”
The development comes as rumors swirl that she had a falling out with her Don’t Worry Darling Costar Florence Pugh over her relationship with Harry Styles which reportedly happened whilst she was still involved with Sudeikis.
The conservationist’s husband went on to thank his mother-in-law Terri Irwin, 58, for taking care of the couple’s 16-month-old daughter Grace Warrior Powell.
“Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we’ve been in the hospital & I’ve been recovering,” he wrote.
Bindi, 24, was quick to reply to her husband’s message, commenting, “The greatest husband. Most amazing Bunny. Love you beyond words @chandlerpowell9 & @TerriIrwin.
“Go team… tonsils?” she said.
Alongside Bindi, other comments wished the father-of-one a “speedy recovery” and that he “heals quickly and painlessly.”
Relationship timeline
Bindi and Chandler, who is originally from the US, met when he went to Australia Zoo while in Australia for a wakeboarding competition.
It so happened that Bindi was giving the tours that day.
Bindi went on to post about their meeting at the time, writing on Instagram: “Legendary wakeboarder Chandler Powell and his beautiful family came into @AustraliaZoo yesterday. Wonderful Wildlife Warriors!”
After years of a long-distance relationship, Powell moved to Australia in 2018 and proposed to Bindi the following year.
They married in March 2020 at Australia Zoo and welcomed Grace exactly a year later.
‘sweetest, kindest’
Powell’s tonsillectomy comes a week after the family farewelled its beloved pet echidna, a “family member of 38 years”.
Bindi announced the news on Instagram with a series of photos of the Irwin family and the echidna, which was part of the family before she and her brother Robert were born.
“Saying goodbye to our beautiful family member of 38 years,” she said on Thursday.
“The sweetest, kindest, most wonderful echidna you ever did meet. Rest In Peace, angel.”
The echidna can be seen in the first photo taken of Bindi and Chandler in 2013.
Soon after Bindi shared the news, Robert, 18, reposted the photos with a broken heart emoji.
bindi turns 24
Meanwhile, Bindi has celebrated her 24th birthday with her family, sharing photos on Instagram.
Her caption began: “24, the last year has been filled with enormous growth, unpredictable/ challenging times, and above all, love beyond my wildest dreams.
“Without them realizing, my sweet family has given me the greatest gifts this year through their extraordinary actions each and every day.
“My in-laws, the gift of no distance standing in the way of family bonds,” she said at the time.
Chandler moved away from his parents Chris and Shannon to marry Bindi in Queensland.
Due to COVID restrictions, his parents were unable to make the 2020 wedding and much of Grace’s first year.
Bindi continued, “My mum, the gift of perseverance, strength, and a shoulder to lean on. My brother, the gift of enthusiasm for life and remembering not to sweat the little things.
“My husband, the gift of steady support and infinite kindness.
“My darling daughter, the gift of finding beauty in all things and running towards happiness (and bubbles, which are the same thing to her) with an open heart,” she continued.
“I’m grateful for another trip around the sun and another year to do my best making difference in this world,” Bindi said.
“Thank you to everyone who is part of my journey, I’m tremendously grateful for you.”

Armie Hammer and his scandal-plagued sex life is set to be the subject of a new three-part documentary series.
House of Hammer, which will air on Discovery Plus next month, includes testimony from two alleged victims of his extreme sexual fetishes.
The actor checked into rehab in May 2021 for substance and sex issues after he was accused of rape and battery by a 24-year-old woman, allegations he strongly denies.
A text — apparently from Hammer to one of his alleged victims — read: “I am 100 per cent a cannibal. I want to eat you.”
Courtney Vucekovich, one of a pair of women who claim the 35-year-old actor assaulted her, detailed the abuse she allegedly endured at his hands, saying that things started fantastically “but then things change” as he “pushes your boundaries a little bit at a time”.
She detailed how the mention of cannibalism meant she spent ages “freaking out” and it was the only thing Hammer “wanted to ever talk about”.
Vucekovich also claims she got a message from him that said: “I’m going to bite the f*** out of you” and that he texted photos of rope to her.
Of the rope, she said: “The ropes were around your neck, your wrist, your ankles, and you’re completely immobilized. I was closing my eyes until it ended.”
Julia Morrison, the second accuser featured in the documentary, claims she received a text from Hammer that read: “I have a fantasy about having someone prove their love and devotion and tying them up in a public place at night and making their body free use and seeing if they will f*** strangers for me”.
Morrison says that she also got a voice note from the Rebecca star, saying: “My bet was going to involve showing into her place and completely tying you up and incapacitating you and then being able to do whatever I wanted to every single hole in your body until I was done with you”.
In the three-part series, the women share a string of texts — which they assert came from Hammer, who according to reports works as a timeshare dealer in the Cayman Islands — detailing his apparent intentions.
One reads: “You are mine! Do you hear me? I own you now. I’ll own you forever”.
And, in another: “I decide when you eat, when you sleep. When you f***.”
The scandal, which was prompted by texts leaked in January 2021, has been labeled “bulls***” by the act, who has daughter Harper, seven, and son Ford, five, with his ex Elizabeth Chambers. He has since been fired from many projects in Hollywood.
Jerry Hall last night asked judges to dismiss her divorce case against Rupert Murdoch, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The former supermodel asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to cancel the divorce petition she filed just five weeks ago, meaning the case appears to be at an end.
The notice was filed by Miss Hall’s California lawyer Ronald Brot and was dated Tuesday, August 9.
The document says the divorce should be dismissed without prejudice, meaning that it can be revived.
Last night it wasn’t clear why Miss Hall had filed the dismissal, or if the couple had agreed to settle out of court.
The Mail has contacted both sides for comment.
The couple had been together for six years when their split was reported in June.
Last weekend, a newspaper claimed that the 91-year-old media tycoon ended their marriage via an email which Miss Hall, 65, is said to have received while waiting for him to arrive in the UK.
Miss Hall responded by filing for divorce on July 1 in Los Angeles rather than the UK, where they were married.
Her next move was even more aggressive and she hired a former Met Police anti-terrorism officer to serve Mr Murdoch the divorce papers at RAF Brize Norton on July 4, after he attended his granddaughter’s wedding nearby.
If Miss Hall’s request is approved, it would mean that Mr Murdoch might not have to go through a bitter and public battle which could have exposed his finances to the world.
In her original petition, she said she did not have his full financial information and was seeking it.
The filing of the divorce in California is significant as it is a community property state, meaning that any property acquired during the marriage is by default split 50/50.
The couple bought a multi-million-pound doer-upper in the Cotswolds as one of their new homes.
The sprawling pad in Great Tew had been uninhabitable for many years and the extensive renovation included installing a domed roof.
Mr Murdoch had 30 days to respond to the petition, a date which had passed by the time Miss Hall filed her request for dismissal.
Over the weekend, legal experts urged Mr Murdoch to settle the divorce. Mark Stephens, with London-based law firm Howard Kennedy, said: “This is a case that doesn’t need to be litigated.
“The smart thing is don’t line the pages of newspapers, just get on and settle the case.”
Radio host Kyle Sandilands was seen frantically leaving the show mid-air after discovering his pregnant fiancée Tegan Kynaston had gone into labor on Thursday morning.

The 51-year-old quickly said his goodbyes to the KIIS team before removing his headphones – as he rushed out the door to be by Kynaston’s side in hospital.
Shortly after, co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson confirmed on the show the couple had welcomed their baby boy Otto after receiving a text message from Sandilands’ manager Bruno Bouchet.
“Little Otto was born this morning. Mum and bub both doing well,” the text from Bouchet read.
“Kyle’s beyond excited.”
Earlier on Thursday, Sandilands said he was broadcasting from home when he received the best personal news.
“I might have to leave the show and go to the hospital,” he abruptly said during the radio show.
“It’s time? Oh, it’s time!” co-host Jackie O Henderson was heard saying from the studio.
“It’s time,” Sandilands confirmed.
The studio broke out in applause as the dad-to-be prepared to leave.
“Calm down, we don’t want the kid coming out too soon,” Sandilands joked.
“You ready?” he was heard saying off the microphone before telling the team, “Guys I’m so sorry, I feel very unprepared – I don’t even know if…”
“It’s okay,” Henderson reassured him, asking “Have you got your bag packed and everything?”.
“Yes, I’ve got my bag,” he replied.
“I’ve got to run, I feel like I’m abandoning you,” Sandilands added, before rushing off.
Boy or girl?
After announcing the pregnancy news in February, Sandilands and Kynaston celebrated by throwing a gender reveal party on a boat in the middle of Sydney Harbour.
Courtesy of the Kyle and Jackie O Show’s Instagram, the excited couple was seen arriving on the boat as a live band played.
Pictures were shared of the four-tier gender reveal cake, ‘baby Sandilands’ decor, an elaborate candy bar – all in shades of blue and pink.
The parents-to-be found out live on air that they were expecting a little boy.
The gender was announced by plans that flew over their boat spewing blue smoke.
Live on air, you could hear the crowd cheer as the plans flew past.
“We did expect a girl but we’re very, very happy,” Sandilands said after the plans flew past.

Sandilands and Kynaston, who began dating in 2019, shared that they already decided on potential baby names.
Announcing to his listeners on 13 February, Sandilands said: “We’re having a baby!” prompting the entire KIIS FM studio team to cheer.
“We are having a friggin’ baby. I couldn’t be happier,” he added.
Co-host Henderson – who’s a mother to daughter Kitty, aged 10 – told the couple she was “so happy”, and told them their lives would soon change forever.
‘He’s very emotional about it’
Speaking on air, Kynaston said Sandilands had been “excellent” since she’s fallen pregnant.
“He’s been very emotional… very happy about it,” she said.
Sandilands said his manager Bruno Bouchet found it challenging to deflect questions from the media after Kynaston was spotted on February 2 with a “slight bump”.
The couple announced their engagement live on air in January after he proposed in Port Douglas.
“I apologize to the women of the world, as I am officially off the market,” Sandilands said at the time.
He told his listeners Kynaston had “no clue” the proposal was coming.
The 50-year-old went into detail about his elaborate proposal plans that were set to feature fireworks, live music, an array of candles and a lavish meal.
However, not everything went according to plan.
The KIIS FM host had organized for singer-songwriter Conrad Sewell to fly in from overseas and perform the couple’s favorite song while Sandilands got down on one knee.
The radio host shared that “two days before the proposal, Conrad rang and he was very upset because he had caught COVID.”
“I couldn’t postpone it because there were chefs, fireworks and I had hired a venue,” Sandilands said.
Despite the complications, Sandilands told listeners the proposal went ahead without live music, explaining to then-girlfriend Kynaston that they were attending a pop-up art show.
“When we got there, we got out, I swung the door open and they played the Conrad song. There were candles and soft lighting,” Sandilands said.
Following the romantic proposal, the couple watched the fireworks display alongside close family and friends.
Kynaston, who is 15 years younger than her fiancé, met Sandilands as his personal assistant in 2019.

Canadian rock star Gord Lewis died aged 65 on Sunday after he was allegedly murdered by his own son.
The Hamilton Police Department found Lewis in Ontario who “isolated” the incident to the musician’s son, Johnathan Lewis.
Johnathan Lewis, 41, has since been arrested and charged with “second-degree murder.”
For more Celebrity related news and videos check out Celebrity >>
The investigation is ongoing, according to police.
Hamilton detective Sara Beck said at a news conference on August 8 (US time) that they were not searching for additional suspects, the New York Post reported.
Police confirmed that Johnathan Lewis was in custody and had been charged.
Despite charging Johnathan Lewis, Beck added that they were “continuing to seek out witnesses and reviewing video in the area”.
Police said “a positive identification has not been made of the deceased due to the level of decomposition”, the Post reported.
Reportedly Gord Lewis had “injuries consistent with foul play” and the death was deemed a homicide.
Police said they were performing a wellness check on Lewis’ residence after a 911 call from staff at Canadian publication The Spectator.
Beck said the publication was receiving suspicious messages from two email accounts – both linked to Johnathan Lewis.
The first message came at 8 pm on 6 August (local time) and continued until the next day.
Reportedly one email said, “Funeral people need to get here quick. My dad is starting to decline.”
Investigation ongoing
Another said, “Now I just want to get help for my sickness and give my dad a proper burial. He didn’t deserve this”.
An autopsy is set to be performed along with “additional steps” to determine the cause of death properly.
The only other family member to speak out was Johnathan’s brother Brian Lewis who said, “We ask that you respect our privacy at this time,” according to The Spectator.
Lewis’ band Teenage Head announced the news on their Instagram on Tuesday.
“We are heartbroken and still trying to process the loss of our friend, bandmate and brother Gord Lewis Our hearts are with his family and all that knew and loved him,” the statement said.
“Gord was a force and an inspiration to many.
“You were taken from us far too soon.”
Lewis’ death is not the first for the rock band they lost another member, their drummer Frankie Venom in 2008 after a battle with throat cancer.
Teenage Head first began in 1975 when the band members were still in high school.
The band is best known for their songs Let’s Shake and Some Kinda Fun.

Former foreign minister turned mining adviser and fashion icon Julie Bishop has made another bold statement in her life post-politics.
Ms Bishop joined Australian department store David Jones for their first runway show in four years to premiere the latest Spring/ Summer 22 collection.
She turned heads on Wednesday night’s red carpet in a $3750 metallic jacquard long sleeve mini dress designed by French luxury fashion house Balmain.
The former politician slipped on a pair of black stockings, simple black pumps and completed the head-to-toe black look with a clutch adorned with silver chain detail.
Ms Bishop received a string of adoring comments when she posted photos of her look to her Instagram account.
Pip Edwards of Aussie activewear brand PE Nation wrote, “You stunner.”
“Va va va Voom!!,” Sunrise entertainment reporter Nelson Aspen commented.
One spot-on Instagram user compared Ms Bishop’s look to that of the late Princess Diana’s infamous ‘revenge’ dress which she wore at her first public event following her headline-making split from Prince Charles.
“Is that like Diana’s revenge dress?,” they said.
The skin tight mini black number certainly looked similar to the Christina Stambolian cocktail dress worn by the British princess.
It’s even more fitting given Ms Bishops very public split from long-time boyfriend David Panton who reportedly dumped her over dinner in July ending their eight-year relationship.
“I’m very busy,” Bishop told Confidential of her newly single life.
“I spend a lot of time at the ANU as chancellor, I’m doing a lot of speaking engagements and attending fabulous events like the David Jones launch”.
Just this month, Bishop hosted a Q&A with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended by university students from across Australia.
Ms Bishop also showed off a return to her iconic close-cropped blonde look after many months of growing out her hair post-politics.
“Ooo has she gone short hair again! I love her with short hair,” One fan, @amysuart commented below the photo.
“Looking gorgeous, what an inspiration, love the new do,” a friend said.
Bishop told Confidential she rushed to the salon just hours before the event.
“It’s a post-Covid recovery haircut,” Bishop said.
“After we went into lockdown I let my hair grow and then it became so easy but I managed to get an appointment with Scott Sloan, whom I have a great deal of respect for, and he cut my hair so I’m feeling great. ”
Ms Bishop was joined on the guest list by indie artist Vera Blue, model Natalie Roser, TV-host Erin Holland, activewear entrepreneur Pip Edwards, and fashion designer Bianca Spender at the flagship store.
A UK breakfast TV host has been slammed by viewers after making “creepy” comments about singer Olivia Newton-John just hours after news of her death broke.
Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley paid tribute to the 73-year-old Grease star but copped a lashing from Brits over his choice of anecdote.
Madeley referenced an iconic 1970s modeling picture of Newton-John that had been shared in countless tributes following her death, including by her Grease co-star John Travolta.
“I wish I’d met her, I wish I’d interviewed her. It never happened, I always regretted it actually as years went by,” Madeley said.
“That publicity picture… the one of her in the denim shirt. It was a very famous poster of her by her in the 1970s. ”
And he went on to confess many of his former colleagues had a schoolboy crush on the star.
“That poster was on the wall of a radio station I used to work in back in the 70s and I’m not exaggerating, it basically stopped traffic in the corridor,” he said.
“It was up there for months! The guys would just stop and look at it.”
Insulting, inappropriate and very, very creepy.
Viewers were less than impressed by his comments, which came as many Brits learned the news of Newton-John’s death, following a cancer battle, aged 73.
“Richard Madeley’s weird angle on the loss of Olivia Newton-John today on (Good Morning Britain) was uncomfortable to watch,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Just kept on the line of how attractive she was & if she acknowledged how beautiful she was & how her colleagues would stare at her poster.”
One viewer described the comments as: “Insulting, inappropriate and very, very creepy.”
Some even called for Madeley to lose his job over the remarks.
“This creep needs to be fired,” one furious viewer wrote.
TV veteran Madeley, who is known for his cringeworthy live TV moments, is widely thought to have been the inspiration for comedian Steve Coogan’s show Alan Partridge.
Coogan has previously admitted Partridge’s character is similar to the host.
Last week, Madeley was in viewers’ crosshairs again for an awkward comment about England Lionesses soccer player Chloe Kelly.
While discussing her team’s Euro 2022 win, Madeley got a little too familiar with the player, referring to her as “Coco”, admitting he uses the same nickname for his daughter, who is also named Chloe.
