Kyle Sandilands and Imogen Anthony were quite the couple in the Australian media landscape.
Their relationship began back in 2011 after Imogen first met Kyle at his 40th birthday party, a year after he split from wife Tamara Jaber. From that moment on it's reported they were inseparable.
In 2014 Imogen, a model and designer, told Maxim she knew their relationship was real when Kyle told her he loved her after just two weeks.
They had a 20-year age gap, but according to Kyle age wasn't something they had ever worried about.
"I don't see any age difference between us," he said in 2013. "She is not a super-young 22-year-old and I am not a super-old 41-year-old. I am a workaholic but I spend every moment I can with Imogen."
And for years they were quite the stable force. In 2018, Imogen told news.com.au that their relationship worked so well because she and Kyle are basically "the same person".
"We are exactly the same person, just a male and female version 20 years apart. I don't think we could live without each other."
Soon after that interview, the couple purchased their first home together, a $3 million, 61-hectare farm in the NSW town of Robertson, south-west of Wollongong.
"Last week was a big week for us as we finally got the keys to our first dream property together down on the Southern Highlands," Imogen wrote on Instagram. "We are now the proud owners of over 150 acres of prime land for our animals, future animals and potential little human animals."
When it came to marriage and kids, the pair had both hinted that either was a big possibility of being on the cards for them.
Then in late 2019, Kyle and Imogen confirmed they had split after eight years together.
"We haven't been living together for a few months, quite a few months, unfortunately, it's run its course," he said at the time on his radio show.
Imogen confirmed that the breakup was mutual, but that she had felt "led on" by Kyle during the last few months of their relationship.
"I need everyone to understand, that I chose where I'm at now, on my own. Everything was mutual and agreed upon. Please do not feel sorry for me. I have moved on, happily, in my own special ways," she wrote in an Instagram post.
"But, in amongst deceit, lies and being constantly led astray for months about what was real and what was not, even by someone I loved for eight years, or that I still considered a 'close friend', I have nothing more to say on any matter."
Three years on from the split, here's where Kyle and Imogen are at in their lives now.

In December 2019, Kyle started dating his previous personal assistant Tegan Kynaston.
Speaking with Mia Freedman on No Filter, Kyle said he and Tegan had known each other for a long time before they found a romantic spark there.
"We knew each other five years before we worked with each other, then a job came up in my office... She worked with me for quite a few years. And then once Imogen [Anthony] and I split up, there was a bit of time where I was by myself," he explained.
"She happened to be single at the same time I happened to be single and I think we just admitted to each other - this is a long time after Imogen and I finished - that there are feelings here. I didn't even bring it up first because I'm really her employer... So she asked me, 'Why did we never date?' And then it just sort of developed slowly from there. It was nice. It came from a real friendship place."
Early this year, Kyle and Tegan announced their engagement while also teasing that having children were "definitely not off the cards".
"It has never really been on my priority list and I think that is just because I was that kid that dragged around my childhood issues from my parents' divorce and this and that," he explained to Daily Telegraph.
And then in February, the 51-year-old shared some extra special news - he and Tegan were expecting their first child together.
"I'm having a baby!" he announced, to cheers from his co-workers. "We are having a baby, can you believe it? We are having a friggin' baby. I couldn't be happier."
35-year-old Tegan said Kyle had "been excellent" since they learned the news: "He is very emotional about it, very happy, already looking at cribs online. He wants a little bed crown for above the crib."
In August their son Otto was born.

Reflecting on being a dad, Kyle said to The Sunday Telegraph that Otto had won his heart as soon as he was born, saying he can't stop "staring" at his son.
"We just look at him the entire time, like a couple of goons, just staring at him - and then we look at each other and smile. And then we have a little tear. He's looking and he's got his little tongue out. He's been very quiet - I'm told that could change, but he's not crying and screaming," Kyle said.
"He's feeding perfectly and Tegan's been doing very well."
On No Filter, Kyle had previously said he was always open to having kids. He said he'd nearly become a father "three or four times" over the years, with partners becoming pregnant.
"Each time the girl I was with has decided it's not the right time for us, or it didn't carry on to full term. I've had both and both is sad," he shared. "I'm a big believer, coming from a broken childhood, that you've both got to really dedicate your life to your children. You've got to not be selfish. You've got to not let that kid come second; that's just not an option."
Imogen Anthony today.
As for Imogen, she has celebrated her own major milestone recently as well.
This week she confirmed via Instagram that she had married her boyfriend. The pair wed in a cheeky Las Vegas ceremony at the Little Chapel of Hearts.
Imogen and her now-husband have reportedly been together for quite some time now, but she has yet to properly confirm his name or identity online.
As for the wedding outfit, Imogen went for a white lingerie set and matching sheer robe.
Prior to her wedding, Imogen had been continuing her influencing work online, as well as appearing in Big Brother VIP.
Reflecting on her relationship with the mystery man, Imogen wrote on Instagram that she's glad to have found not only a partner but a "best friend".
"After a s**t load of ups and downs, a little time, space and whatever quantum physics played into it, thank you for still making me laugh. Thank you for giving me endless laughter (and tears) along the way. Yes, there's been pain, but at least I'd felt again, especially after being numb for SO long. F**k you are golden. No pressure, no labels, just love."
