Sandilands finally reveals why he broke up with Anthony
KYLE Sandilands has opened up about his headline-grabbing split from ex-girlfriend Imogen Anthony, who he was with for eight years before they called it quits in 2019.
Speaking candidly on Mamamia’s No Filter podcast, the controversial KIIS FM radio host told Mia Freedman the 19-year age gap was a contributing factor to their break-up.
He said Anthony “went from a young girl into a woman” towards the end of their relationship, having first met Anthony when she was just 21.
“It’s not as if we couldn’t get on. It’s just I was going into my twilight years and she was just becoming a woman,” he explained.
“It was just one of those things that it was fun while it lasted and it was great, we enjoyed a lot of things about each other, but some of these things they come to an end sometimes,” he added.
The shock jock – who earns between $7-8 million per year – went on to discuss his view that it’s “important” to make sure his former partners are taken care of financially.
“I want to make sure they’re OK mentally, physically, financially, and they deserve it, too,” he explained.
“Ex-wives, my other ex-partners, they’re able to be, and they should be, looked after and treated with respect.”
Sandilands is currently dating his former personal assistant, 35-year-old Tegan Kynaston. Their romance was confirmed shortly after his split from Anthony was made public, after weeks of swirling rumours and a very public spat that ended with police involvement.
