Jackie O Henderson split with her husband of 15 years, UK photographer Lee Henderson, in 2018.
Since then, Jackie has confessed she loves being single and doesn’t feel like she needs a partner in her life.
Speaking on her radio show in February 2024, Jackie O revealed that she’s happily single and has reached a point in life where she believes if someone’s meant to be in her life, they will be. But she’s not actively searching for a relationship.
Despite being happy and in a good place now, Jackie has previously admitted that she went through a difficult period following her divorce.
“I can’t believe how good I feel this year,” she told Stellar Magazine in 2023.
“I’ve had some sort of crazy breakthrough in my life. But I feel like I’ve kind of hit rock bottom to get to this point.”
Jackie’s divorce from her husband of 15 years was one of her lowest points, and she explained: “A light bulb switched on in my brain.
“It was like, ‘What happened to me? Was I in a coma for the past three years?’ I really looked into what I had become as a person and how I’d lost my spirit, my essence.
“Everything about who I usually am had been taken away.”
In 2022, Jackie O stepped back from her hosting position on Kyle and Jackie O to reprioritise her mental and physical health.
“I really needed it. It was hard to do because I don’t usually take time off and always push through. But that’s what I’d been doing – I’d been pushing through too much and I just couldn’t do it anymore.
“I just needed a little bit of time off to recuperate and it’s been great,” she previously told Woman’s Day.
Since then, Jackie has seemingly been living her best single life, and is enjoying the freedom that accompanies it.
Jackie O previously confessed to her co-host Kylie Sandilands that she signed up to the dating app, Hinge.
However, she has since said that she never really connected with anyone.
“It was fun for a while to date, and now I don’t know. I reckon that someone will come along when that’s supposed to happen.”
Jackie has said she’s reached a point where she’s finally happy in her life, and doesn’t need a partner to make her happy.
“I’ve spent my whole life looking, and being in relationships and never being happy on my own or single.
“And I’m finally, finally at a place where I am so I’m just going to embrace that for a while”, she said to Kyle.
