Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has confessed to having led ‘sexless’ relationships.
The 50-year-old KIIS FM radio star confessed that she experienced a ‘low sex drive’ with partners in the past during an appearance on the Her Best Life podcast this week.
‘In all my relationships, I have allowed it to get to a brother and sister dynamic’, she told her best friend Gemma O’Neill during the intimate chat.
Jackie said that she was ‘fine’ with the lack of sex at first in her partnerships because she did not want ‘intimacy’ either.
‘I was busy, I was exhausted, I had a lot going on and I just didn’t have a high sex drive for some reason,’ she told best friend Gemma.

Jackie did not name names in her chat but she has previously discussed the challenges in her 18-year marriage with her ex Lee Henderson.
She continued, explaining that her supposedly romantic relationships devolved into something more like ‘room mates’.
‘When I was in my relationship, he’d watch TV in that room, I’d watch it on my computer in this room and we weren’t even connected in having a night just talking on the lounge’ she said.
‘Something like that is quite simple but it does make you feel more connected to your partner.’
In a touching admission, Jackie said she wished she had ‘made an effort to keep that intimacy going and make time for each other’.
The lack of intimacy led to Jackie feeling ‘undesirable’ making the partnership ‘unfixable’.
Still, Jackie said that her experience was not unique with many of her friends having lived through a similar situation.
‘The more I spoke to women, the more I realised this is actually really common in a lot of marriages. Like there’s just no sex anymore,’ she said.

Meanwhile, Jackie admitted to feeling ‘happy and content’ in her life right now.
It comes after Jackie admitted she is struggling to let go of an ex.
She discussed moving on while appearing on a recent episode of the Her Best Life podcast.
The radio queen told co-host Gemma that she was dealing with heartbreak.
Despite being ‘over’ the relationship, Jackie said that in her weaker moments she thinks, ‘That’s my person’.
Jackie said she hoped to ‘completely let go’ of the man but admitted that she ‘doesn’t know how’ – but agreed that the man ‘didn’t show up’ for her.
Jackie never disclosed who the man was and has been private about her dating life.
She was last linked to former toyboy Jack Tyerman – who has since announced his engagement to another woman.

She also spoke about the relationship in August 2023.
While Jackie admitted she was ‘dating’ at the time, she maintained she and Jack were ‘just friends’.
‘No, Jack is not my boyfriend. We’re not in a relationship, not my boy toy,’ Jackie told Kyle.
‘Jack is a good friend of mine. I know him through a friend of ours. We didn’t meet on a dating app or anything like that.’
The media personality went on to say she was ultimately ‘to blame’ for the romance rumours after she told Daily Mail Australia she was dating someone during a Logies interview.
‘In my mind, I’m dating and I’ve been on a few dates, so I said ‘maybe’ [I’m dating], but I probably should have said, ‘Maybe, we’ll see what happens,” she confessed.
Jackie’s marriage to her ex-husband Lee Henderson fell apart in 2018. They share one daughter Kitty, 14.
