Kyle Sandilands is said to have disappeared and gone through a ‘rebellious’ phase after his first marriage to Tamara Jaber failed in 2010.
The revelations were about the 52-year-old radio star in a position for the ‘Young Rich’ issue of the Australian Financial Times.
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, Kyle’s longtime colleague and co-host of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, was interviewed in the profile and shed light on this dark period in her colleague’s life.
According to Henderson, Sandilands’ life took a tumultuous turn after his divorce from his first wife, Tamara Jaber, in 2010.
The colleagues had been spending weekends together for years, but after the breakup Sandilands seemed to go into deep trouble.

He disappeared at weekends, constantly visited nightclubs in Kings Cross and formed relationships with new, often controversial acquaintances.
Notable figures in his new circle included nightclub identity John Ibrahim, former luxury car dealer Nasser Elkordi and convicted drug dealer Simon Main.
“He’s clearly, I would say, rebelled in every way possible,” Henderson noted.

Interestingly, both Main and Ibrahim served as groomsmen at Sandilands’ wedding to his current wife, Tegan Kynaston, 37.
It comes as Kyle admitted a few weeks ago that he “never recovered emotionally” from his marriage to Jaber.
The radio star said he was distraught after his ex-wife once rated their gender as ‘two out of ten’.

“I never recovered emotionally,” the father of one admitted on a recent Kyle and Jackie O Show.
While he did not name Tamara, he did specify that the damaging incident occurred during his first marriage, which lasted from 2008 to 2010.
Jaber recently revealed that she is expecting her first child with fiancé Billy Kokkinis.
Tamara was previously engaged to San Francisco-based attorney Eduardo Roy, but the couple appears to have ended things in early 2021.
Tamara’s engagement news came a week after her ex-husband Kyle welcomed his first child, a son named Otto, with his current wife Tegan Kynaston.
