First look at Kyle's baby boy
Kyle Sandilands and fiancee Tegan Kynaston have welcomed their first child together.
The beaming, newly-minted dad gave his listeners a first look at his son Otto, who was born yesterday morning shortly after Sandilands abruptly left the show mid-air when he got the news that Kynaston has gone into labour.
Footage of the 51-year-old radio shock jock and Otto - with a glimpse of Kanaston - at the hospital was shared on the Kyle and Jackie O Show’s official Instagram page, with the caption: “Introducing baby Otto Sandilands. 💙”.
The clip shows Sandilands, wearing a scrub cap, wheeling his son into a room where cameras and microphones are waiting.
“Here he is!” Sandilands says, before joking that a swaddled Otto needs to “sit up” in his crib for his debut.
“Sit up? He’s swaddled!” co-host Jackie O Henderson, who is Otto’s godmother, laughed in response.
He then switches the camera into selfie mode, showing a sleeping Otto in his crib.
“Look at him!” Sandilands says.
“Oh, he’s so cute!” Henderson responds.
The hosts then debate what colour Otto’s hair is, with Henderson asking whether it is light brown.
"It's, well... because he hasn't had his hair washed yet, the nurses are all saying it's blonde. I thought it was like a strawberry, brown-ey, goop-ey bit of whatever, but they're all saying it's blonde," Sandilands says.
Then Henderson comments on how Otto looks similar to Sandilands, with the proud dad then asking Kynaston off-camera if she agrees, which she appears to do.
“You can see it in the round face a bit,” newsreader Brooklyn Ross jokes, prompting an outraged, “Excuse me!” from Sandilands.
Just 30 to 40 minutes after Otto was born, the show’s Intern Pete caught up with Sandilands, who revealed he cut his son’s umbilical cord.
"The joy and happiness, honestly, I've never seen him like it guys," Intern Pete said.
"Otto is born, Otto is fabulous, I cut the cord, I didn't realise it was like tough calamari, and blood squirted out," Sandilands replied.
"Mum's doing great, he's happy, he's up there breastfeeding, I'm watching Karl [Stefanovic] on the Today Show, everything's good."
The new addition to the family comes after Sandilands popped the question to 37-year-old Kynaston while they were holidaying in Port Douglas, Queensland, late last year.
Prior to the pair going public with their relationship on New Year’s Eve in 2019, Kynaston worked as Sandilands’ personal assistant. She now works as a director of communications of Sandilands’ company, King Kyle Private Limited.
