Kyle Sandilands reveals how he will celebrate Christmas with wife Tegan and their son after signing $200 million deal
Kyle Sandilands has revealed he will be enjoying a quiet Christmas this year, despite recently signing a historic $200 million radio deal with co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
The radio shock jock, 52, and his wife, Tegan Kynaston, 37, will celebrate the holidays on New South Wales’ central coast.
He plans to spend time teaching his one-year-old son Otto how to swim.
“I couldn’t think of anything worse than these celebrities with toffee noses hanging around,” Kyle said Perth Now on Saturday.
‘It’s easier to be with family at Christmas because you can just lie there, drool and eat as much as you want. I probably won’t go out, I’ll probably sit in the air conditioning complaining,” he added.

It comes after Kyle and Jackie O recently signed a record-breaking $200 million, 10-year deal that will keep them on the air until 2034.
The new deal, which expires in 2024, means both breakfast radio stars will earn $10 million a year as they expand into the Melbourne market.
In a statement celebrating the historic contract extension, Kyle said: “Fans of the show will be pleased to hear that this ten-year deal is the longest radio deal in Australian history.
“Love us or loathe us, Jackie and I will continue with our politically incorrect nonsense for a long time.”
He added: “We would like to thank the listeners. Staff. All clients. Even senior management, I’ll give a nod to that. They’ve actually done something brilliant.’

“Melbourne is the largest radio advertising market in Australia and represents an opportunity for ARN Media to grow viewership and revenue on KIIS 101.1,” he said.
“Kyle and Jackie O have grown into a powerful brand that contributes significantly to ARN’s commercial success, and this new agreement strategically positions us for long-term growth beyond radio.”
