Inside Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s life as a single mum after she splurges $11million on Sydney home

She’s been single ever since splitting with her husband Lee Henderson back in 2018, and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has openly admitted life can sometimes get lonely.

The 45-year-old radio host is a doting mum to her nine-year-old daughter Kitty, but she often laments about her lack of a love life. 

Not that her relatively newfound single status has stopped her from living her best life.

According to a report by Domain on Tuesday, Jackie splurged around $11million on a home in the exclusive Sydney suburb of Woollahra.

The purchase comes after Jackie and Lee sold their Vaucluse family home in March for $6.675million following their breakup. 

The media personality was married to Lee from 2003, before announcing their shock split in October 2018.

And less than two years after parting ways, Jackie is clearly ready for a fresh start, purchasing the home just three days after it was put on the market. 

In addition to their stately new home, Jackie and Kitty have enjoyed a series of luxury holidays together, spending New Year’s Eve at Kokomo Island in Fiji.

‘We had the best time. Most nights we would eat dinner whilst swimming in the pool, (she loved that the most),’ Jackie wrote on Instagram in February.

‘We’d stay up late – really late (cause we’re both night owls) and watch movies like Miss Congeniality and Blindside.’

Jackie said for their next overseas holiday, she’s hoping to take Kitty to ‘Japan, maybe New York or Paris’.

Speaking on her KIIS FM radio show, The Kyle & Jackie O Show, earlier this month, Jackie said her love of being a mum prompted her to continue working from home even after her co-host Kyle Sandilands returned to the studio.

‘It’s not because of the iso stuff, it’s because, honestly, I really enjoy being able to spend time with my daughter and I’ve never been able to do that in the morning with her,’ she explained. 

Kitty previously lived with her father during the week to accommodate Jackie’s early starts, but she moved in with her mother after she started working from home. 

Despite having her daughter around more, Jackie complained about being single during a discussion on her radio show on Monday.

A glum-sounding Jackie admitted that it was because she ‘doesn’t go out’ and meet single men. 

‘I haven’t gone out a lot to be honest since I’ve been single,’ she confessed, prompting Kyle, 49, to ask her if it was because she’s ‘too miserable’.

‘No, not too miserable. I don’t know what it is, Kyle. I don’t know what it is,’ she replied, sounding quite upset.

But on Wednesday, Jackie claimed she was actually ‘really happy’ with her single status.  

‘I don’t know if I ever really want to live with someone again,’ she confessed on The Kyle & Jackie O Show

‘I don’t get lonely and I’m really happy with my daughter, and that’s kind of it for me for right now. I don’t think about it.’

Jackie said she hasn’t dated anyone since splitting from Lee, which is the longest period of time she’s stayed single since she was 16.

‘I’ve never, ever in my life been at this point. Every time I’ve been out of a relationship I’ve wanted to get back into one as quick as I can because I couldn’t be alone,’ she said.

‘I literally was out of a relationship and then on the hunt for a new relationship. I’ve never really had much breaks in between relationships before.’

'I feel really great that I'm able to be on my own and be happy. I think that's really a great place to be,' she said

‘I feel really great that I’m able to be on my own and be happy. I think that’s really a great place to be,’ she said

But Jackie admitted she does worry if she’s making the right decision, claiming while this is how she feels at the moment, it could all change.  

‘I feel really great that I’m able to be on my own and be happy. I think that’s really a great place to be,’ she continued.

‘But I do worry that in 10 years time I’m going to be like, “Oh did I make a mistake?” and now I really want someone.’

The uncertain star added: ‘I don’t know what to think actually.’

Despite maintaining her single status, it hasn’t stopped Jackie from being linked to a string of high profile male celebrities. 

Earlier this month, she was rumoured to be getting flirty with former rugby league footballer Sam Burgess, according to a report by Woman’s Day

But she’s yet to re-enter into a meaningful long-term relationship.

‘It’s just nice to feel happy being alone, don’t you think?’ she told Kyle during a conversation their radio show on Wednesday.
