Jackie 'O' Henderson is 'done' with Kyle Sandilands, according to a radio insider.
While Kyle still has hope that the pair may reconcile, a source told the Daily Telegraph this week that the former radio queen has her eyes set on new horizons.
'Kyle and Bruno still talk to all of us, it's like they think everyone's eventually getting the band back together,' the source alleged.
'Jackie has checked out. It's a dead stop,' they added.
A second insider says that Jackie has decided, 'I don't need this anymore,' and is 'very happy and content' with her decision.
The insider added that Jackie is 'financially independent' and not smarting from the loss of her $100 million contract.

It follows earlier reports that Jackie struggled with the glamorous 'hot blonde' image crafted around her by executives and publicists.
'ARN, the publicists, marketing teams, these people were shaping, making her image. None of it was actually her,' a source told The Daily Telegraph.
'She didn't want to go to all the parties. She just went along with it because it was important for her to be seen as a lot younger than what she was.
'All the marketing images show him as a big fat guy and her as a young hot blonde.
'They used to airbrush her in photos to make her look younger... that messes with a woman's head... made her feel worthless... she often talked about it.'
In recent years, Henderson's focus has shifted heavily toward wellness, spirituality and personal growth - themes she now explores through the Her Best Life podcast with best friend and manager Gemma O'Neill.
Friends say the podcast reflects the 'real' Jackie away from the microphones and manufactured celebrity image.
The former radio star quietly returned to the spotlight last week with an appearance at Australian Fashion Week.

The 51-year-old attended the L'IDÉE WOMAN fashion show at The Neilson Nutshell and was expected to spend the rest of the evening at the brand's after-party, sponsored by Tequila Don Julio 1942.
However an insider has revealed Jackie stayed only a few minutes before quietly dashing off.
Her absence was no doubt felt by fellow guest Pip Edwards, who is Jackie's BFF and often spends events glued to Jackie's side.
Henderson remains at the centre of a Federal Court case against ARN Media over the termination of her reported $100 million contract, following the collapse of her long-running radio partnership with Sandilands.
Court documents, filed as part of Henderson's statement of claim, outline months of internal tension leading up to the dramatic breakdown of the Kyle and Jackie O Show earlier this year.
According to the filings, Henderson raised concerns about Sandilands' on-air behaviour with KIIS network management months before the relationship publicly deteriorated during a live broadcast in February.
