While discussing her two divorces, Jackie said she’d ‘refused to take anything’ when she split from her first husband, ‘Ugly Phil’ O’Neil, in the late ’90s.

‘The first divorce, I could have gotten something, absolutely,’ she said, confirming that Phil had been richer than she was at the time.

Her co-host Kyle Sandilands then interrupted: ‘Why couldn’t you get anything from the second divorce [from Lee]?’

She replied: ‘Well, because I had the money. So he had the money – the first husband – so I was entitled to X amount, which I just said, “No, I don’t want it.”

‘And the next time around [divorcing Lee], I had to share my wealth. And he said, “Yes, I’ll take it!”‘

Jackie added that she didn’t mind giving Lee a cash settlement because he’s the father of her daughter and they share custody.

‘Listen, I have to say, when you have kids, it’s totally different,’ she said.

‘I think that Lee should have taken the money, that’s all. It’s different: Phil and I were just a married couple, we didn’t have kids.’

Lee is a photographer from England and met Jackie in Sydney in the year 2000 when he was backpacking around Australia.

At the time, Jackie was already a popular radio and TV presenter and newly divorced from her first husband, Ugly Phil, but she hadn’t yet reached the peak of her success.

Jackie has accumulated significant wealth since then thanks to her on-air partnership with Kyle Sandilands.
