Kyle Sandilands is officially a father.

The radio host, 51, and his fiancée Tegan Kynaston, 36, welcomed their baby boy Otto on Thursday morning.

Kyle’s co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson announced the happy news on air and Kyle’s manager Bruno Bouchet told Daily Mail Australia: ‘Little Otto was born this morning. Mum and bub both doing well.’

‘Kyle’s beyond excited. Kyle will be back on tomorrow’s radio show to chat all things Otto,’ he added.

Jackie, who is Otto’s godmother, shed tears of joy as she declared: ‘Otto has been born!’

While Jackie and the KIIS team weren’t able to attend the hospital, they did contribute a personal touch by creating a baby-themed playlist for Tegan to play while she gave birth.

Among the songs on the list was Guy Sebastian’s 2003 hit single Angels Brought Me Here.

Producer ‘Intern’ Pete Deppeler later called into the show to reveal he’d managed to meet up with Kyle in the hospital carpark around 40 minutes after the birth.

Playing audio from the encounter, Kyle could be heard telling Pete:

‘Otto’s born, Otto’s fabulous. I cut the cord, I didn’t realize it was like tough calamari with blood spurting out… Tegan’s breast feeding upstairs,’ he said.

Kyle was also recorded eating from a cooler bag full of snacks in the hospital, telling Pete: ‘The baby’s feeding. Then I thought, well if you’re eating, I will too.’

Guy Sebastian also called into the show to send his well-wishes, revealing that he’d been made aware of the birth after an unknown man stopped him on the street to share the news.

Baby Otto’s uncle Chris Sandilands also called into the show to share his joy.

Chris said he was thrilled by the arrival, revealing that he was unable to attend the birth due to hospital Covid restrictions but was looking forward to meeting his nephew once they return home.

‘This kid is born into luxury. What a lucky little bugger!’ I joked.

Just an hour earlier Kyle abruptly left his radio show on as his Tegan went into labour.

Just seconds into the show, father-to-be Kyle, 51, told his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson he had to leave and rush Tegan, 36, to the hospital.

‘Guys, I am broadcasting from home for a reason, and that reason seems to have raised its head now,’ he said, before turning to his pregnant partner and asking her, ‘It’s all happening?’

Turning back to the microphone, Kyle continued: ‘Guys, I think it might have to leave the show and go to the hospital.’

‘It’s time? Oh, it’s time!’ an excited Jackie exclaimed, prompting a rousing applause for the entire radio studio.

Shedding his usual calm demeanour, Kyle seemed rather flustered as he told his colleagues: ‘Guys I’m so sorry. I feel very unprepared, I don’t…’

Jackie assured him everything was fine, before inviting producer Pedro Vitola to host the show in Kyle’s absence.

Kyle could then be heard removing his headphones and rushing out the door.

The high-profile couple announced they were expecting their first child in February. Their baby boy will be named Otto.

‘We’re having a baby! We are having a friggin’ baby. I couldn’t be happier,’ Kyle said on his KIIS FM breakfast show at the time.

Tegan said on air that Kyle had been ‘very emotional’ since finding out he was going to be a first-time father.

Tegan and Kyle found out the sex of their baby at an elaborate gender reveal party held on Sydney Harbor later in February.

They hired a superyacht for the occasion and arranged for planes flying overhead to release blue smoke, revealing they’re having a baby boy.

Kyle and Tegan also became engaged in Port Douglas, Queensland, over the Christmas holidays.

Before dating Tegan, Kyle was with ex-girlfriend Imogen Anthony for eight years until they called it quits in 2019.

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has taken a dig at Nigella Lawson just days after the British cook failed to appear on her radio show.

Nigella, 62, reportedly refused to appear on the Kyle And Jackie O show on Friday, leaving her fellow My Kitchen Rules judge Manu Fieldel to face the radio duo alone.

Discussing Nigella’s no-show during Monday’s broadcast, Jackie told her co-host Kyle Sandilands: ‘I think she can be quite precious is what I’ve heard.’

Jackie, 47, went on to speculate that Nigella may dislike their radio show due to an incident that occurred while they were working for Southern Cross Austereo back in the early 2010s.

‘I remember when we had an interview with her at 2Day FM… we were really excited about her coming in,’ she said.

Jackie claimed producers asked Nigella to participate in a ‘cake challenge’ where she would have to guess which cake was bought from Woolworths and which was bought from a patisserie.

‘That doesn’t seem like a hard challenge. That’s easy!’ Kyle interjected.

Jackie continued: ‘I know! Anyway, she walked out. And when I say ella ‘ella walked out’ I mean ella stormed out and said she would never, ever speak to the show again.’

Suddenly losing his temper, Kyle shouted: ‘She can shove it in her a** then!’

Jackie said she believes the cake saga is why Nigella hasn’t visited them for an interview about My Kitchen Rules.

‘I think that’s where it comes from, but I also think that’s being very precious. I mean, why would you get upset about that? It’s not like we’re trying to catch her out, it’s not like it’s [Nigella’s] own cake! It’s just two store bought cakes for a bit of fun,’ she insisted.

Kyle’s rage only grew, as he declared: ‘Who cares what she thinks? [She is] barely relevant anyway!’

‘Who cares what you think, cooking your pasta. Nothing a bit of KanTong can’t replicate. It’s the same thing,’ he added, referring to the budget Asian-style sauce brand.

It comes after Kyle slammed Manu on his radio show after the pair had a tense chat live on-air.

During the show, French chef Manu, 48, awkwardly said goodbye to Kyle after being grilled about his new co-host Nigella Lawson and why she didn’t want to do the interview with him.

After Jackie mentioned how uncomfortable the interview was, Kyle blasted the culinary star, saying: ‘Who gives as**t what he’s sick and tired of talking about!’

Kyle then ranted about Manu promising that ‘no topic was off limits’ on their KIIS FM show.

‘I’m not here to facilitate other people’s s**t. I like Manu, he can come on and I like the show [MKR]but I’m very shocked about the Nigella [Lawson] thing.’

‘The end was very awkward, I wasn’t sure what was going on there guys? But whatever,’ Jackie O said.

‘What do you mean? I think he felt embarrassed by his co-host (Nigella) let him down, ‘Kyle shot back.

‘Or he’s sick of talking about it,’ Jackie said.

During the chat, Kyle wouldn’t stop probing Manu about why Nigella was a no-show.

‘What’s her problem, apparently I hear, correct me if I’m wrong producers, the network is upset because Nigella’s team said “no way, you’re not going on that filthy show.” Our show, how does that happen?’ Kyle asked.

‘I have no idea, that’s news to me buddy! I will make sure she talks to you next time,’ Manu said with a laugh.

‘I think you’re just being upset for no reason, Kyle,’ Manu added, keen to get off the subject.

Kyle said he thought Nigella was a ‘sweetie’ but isn’t a fan of her management team.

‘Can you sort her team out…’ Kyle asked Manu towards the end of the chat, which was greeted with awkward silence.

Nigella is joining Manu on the My Kitchen Rules reboot this year, replaced disgraced chef Pete Evans.

My Kitchen Rules returns to Seven on Sunday at 7pm.
