Kyle Sandilands has spoken about his new role as a father, and whether he’ll have more kids in a candid interview with Daily Mail Australia.
Sandilands and his fiance Tegan Kynaston welcomed their first child, son Otto Dalton Sandilands into the world on August 11th, 2022. The new dad told the publication that he was initially nervous about becoming a father, but he’s found the experience enjoyable so far.
“I’ve never been a dad before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we’re lucky that he’s pretty well behaved and nicely settled,’ he continued.
He added, “he’s got a good mum who’s very engaged. She wasn’t too thrilled when she found out I was gonna vanish out of the house for 20 days, but there’s a few times where I get to come back in between the different cities, so we’ve worked around it.”
“She doesn’t mind. She understands that work’s pretty important.”
The Australian Idol judge revealed that the possibility of more children hasn’t been taken off the table.
“We’ve said that we’d see how the first one goes and even though he’s gone really well, we did just realise that we’ve got some friends that have two or three children and they look like beaten wrecks and they never can come out,” he said.
“But it hasn’t been ruled out, but we’re just going to edge our way through the first one, and if Tegan feels like she wants a second one then we’ll chat about that.
“I’m up for it, but we’ll just see how we go with the one first.”
The shock jock went on to say that he is captivated by his son, and that Otto has changed him for the best.
“I used to watch hours and hours of TV, and now I just sit there looking at him and he’s really been a joy,” he said.
