Kyle Sandilands has all but confirmed his relationship with Jackie 'O' Henderson will not be bouncing back following their epic fallout on The Kyle & Jackie O Show.
The former co-hosts reportedly have not seen each other since they had a fiery on-air clash over Jackie's 'fixation' on astrology back in February.
The Kyle & Jackie O Show was subsequently cancelled and both hosts were axed, leading to high-profile legal battles between the duo and their former employer ARN. Kyle settled his legal dispute, taking home $12.09 million of the original $85 million he sought.
In a teaser for his upcoming tell-all documentary, At Home With Kyle, which follows the behind-the-scenes turmoil and chaos in his life following his shock axing, Kyle vowed to reveal what really happened between the pair and wished his former radio co-star 'all the best'.
'I've sort of had to mostly, in my mind, close that chapter,' he said in the trailer of the series, which was shared on his new business Instagram account, Kyle Sandilands Live.
'This isn't a taking sides thing. I'll always love her. She's like a sister to me. I wish her the best. The last three months, there is quite a lot to say.'

The video showed a montage of the news coverage of the pair's bust-up, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of their show being axed.
'It didn't just get intense. It got to the stage where it was dangerous. I think it's time to let everyone know what actually, really happened,' he said.
Other clips showed an ambulance driving down the road with sirens blaring and footage of Kyle slamming a door as he stormed out of a room.
Another short showed Kyle looking emotional as he said: 'It's not the end of the world. It's just the end of that show.'
At one point, Kyle is also interviewed by podcaster Josh Fox in his Vaucluse mansion.
'You used to joke that they could never fire you,' Josh said.
'Yeah, I did,' Kyle laughed as he sat in his home. 'And now the joke is on me. Here I am. F***ing fired.'
Kyle is rebuilding his media empire ahead of the launch of his highly anticipated new show.

Do you think Kyle and Jackie's fallout reveals deeper issues in the entertainment industry?
Kyle has teased the release of his tell-all documentary, At Home With Kyle, which is set to reveal what really happened between the pair
The radio king has appointed former The Kyle & Jackie O Show staffer, Jaimee 'Mayo' Blazquez, as executive producer of Kyle Sandilands Live, his new subscription program launching on August 10.
The appointment comes just months after Kyle dramatically parted ways with ARN, with the broadcaster steadily reassembling members of his former team for his new venture.
Mayo, who worked alongside Kyle for nine years, announced the news on Instagram by sharing a photo of herself and the radio star beaming as they posed outside his Sydney studio.
Another behind-the-scenes snap offered fans a first look at the Kyle Sandilands Live set, where walls were adorned with oversized 'King Kyle' artwork alongside branded merchandise and promotional displays ahead of the launch.
'Excited to share that I have stepped into the role of executive producer for @kylesandilandslive,' Mayo wrote.
'I have loved working with Kyle for the past nine years and am looking forward to continue working with him on this new venture!'
The hire is the latest sign that Kyle is surrounding himself with familiar faces after revealing in June that he had already rehired several former staff members made redundant following the show's demise.
'I probably did [rehire staff] out of guilt but also because I like my crew and I want to make sure they're okay,' he said.
'This isn't a taking sides thing. I'll always love her. She's like a sister to me. I wish her the best. The last three months, there is quite a lot to say,' Kyle said of Jackie
'You know, someone's engaged, someone's pregnant. Everyone's got their own life going on.'
Mayo's appointment was warmly received by fans and former colleagues, with many thrilled to see one of the show's most recognisable behind-the-scenes figures reunited with Kyle.
'Not an average girl anymore Mayo!' former KIIS FM newsreader Brooklyn Ross joked in the comments.
Meanwhile, fellow Kyle & Jackie O regular 'Intern' Pete Deppeler wrote: 'So great Mayo. Congratulations.'
At Home With Kyle features six episodes filmed by Kyle's own production company.
His long-term manager, Bruno Bouchet, said the upcoming series will present a rarely seen side of his client.
'It is a very different side to Kyle that you are going to see, quite a humble Kyle,' Bruno told The Age.
Kyle's subscription-based show will feature no ads or censorship.
