Kyle and Jackie O are stunned to meet a listener they helped become a mother: “You paid for my children”

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson were stunned on Tuesday after meeting a listener they helped become a mother.

The radio duo were meeting fans during their Kyle & Jackie O Show on Tuesday when a listener came up to offer them a very sincere “thank you.”

Rebecca was brought into the studio where she reminded Kyle and Jackie O that they had already paid for her IVF treatment.

“I met you on Saturday,” Rebecca told Jackie before adding, “You paid for my kids.”

Kyle, stunned, could only answer: “What happened?”

Rebecca then handed Kyle her phone, revealing a photo of her two children.

“You paid for my IVF and my two kids,” Rebecca said as a shocked Kyle replied: “Did we?”

“Yeah, 11 years ago,” she added before Kyle gave Rebecca a hearty: “Well done.”

In a video posted to Kyle & Jackie O’s Instagram story, Rebecca said she wanted to thank the radio duo in person for their generosity.

“I first met Kyle and Jackie O when I came in about 11 years ago and I had a sad story,” Rebecca said in the clip.

“They paid for my IVF and now thanks to them I have an 11-year-old and an eight-year-old, so I came today to thank you.”

This generous act happened in 2012, when Kyke and Jackie O were on 2Day FM.

After Rebecca received two rounds of IVF treatments from the radio duo, she phoned the studio in November that year.

“I just wanted to give you an update. that I am 14 weeks pregnant,” Rebecca told the couple at the time.

“I went with Dr Peter Illingworth… the first round didn’t work but it worked in the second round.

The news was greeted with warm congratulations from Jackie who said: “We are so happy Rebecca, this is great news.”

“So I’m claiming some of this baby,” Kyle added cheekily.

Offering her heartfelt thanks to the couple, Rebecca was overcome with emotion, prompting Kyle to ask her why she was upset.

“I can’t wait until my husband can hold a healthy baby in his arms, and it’s really because of you guys.”

Jackie herself welcomed daughter Kitty, 13, with ex-husband Lee Henderson in December 2010 via IVF after being unable to conceive naturally.

Rebecca’s heartfelt ‘thank you’ comes after Jackie O was again reminded of the radio duo’s largesse during a book signing in Perth.

Jackie was “shocked and emotional” when she met fan Ziad, 20, whose life she helped save in 2016.

This generous act happened in 2012, when Kyke and Jackie O were on 2Day FM.

Just 12 years old at the time, Ziad had been diagnosed with a brain tumor when Jackie and co-host Kyle Sandilands helped raise $150,000 for his operation.

Eight years later, the young boy, now an adult, made an unexpected appearance at Jackie’s book signing to thank her for helping in his recovery.

Their reunion was filmed as the media personality interrupted her six-hour book signing to hug Ziad and his mother.

“Just seeing him today, he’s grown up, happy, healthy, fulfilled and living such a beautiful life,” Jackie said after meeting Ziad once again.

Knowing that all of our (radio) listeners came together to make this happen was really beautiful,” she added.

Ziad appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2016 as his family sought help to raise money that would pay for his life-saving surgery.

Ten minutes after his appearance on the KIIS FM radio show, Ziad’s story had touched the hearts of listeners who donated more than $150,000 to help him have his tumor removed.

“The power of their community and their platform is why my boy is here right now,” Ziad’s mother said upon reuniting with Jackie.
