Why did Imogen Anthony and Kyle Sandilands break up?

Speaking on Mammamia’s No Filter podcast with host Mia Freedman, Kyle revealed the 19-year age gap between him and Imogen led to the demise of their relationship.

In the candid discussion, he admitted: “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.

“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.”

Despite maintaining that they’re on good terms, Imogen made claims about experiencing a toxic relationship on her Instagram.

“After being with old mate for the last 10 years, you know you kind of learn things, and no one knew more about behind the scenes than Kyle did, and he told me everything.”

The couple were together for ten years.
