Kylie Gillies has captivated audiences for years as a host of The Morning Show alongside her work-husband, Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur.
Behind her public persona, however, is her supportive husband, who has been her rock throughout her career since they tied the knot in 1989.
Who is Kylie Gillies’ husband?
Kylie, 57, is married to Tony Gillies, the former editor-in-chief of newswire AAP.
The journalist couple met while working as cadets for a local newspaper in Tamworth and married soon after. Because Kylie was just 22, the newlyweds decided to focus on their careers before starting a family.
In May, Kylie and Tony celebrated the milestone of 35 years of marriage. To mark the occasion, Kylie dusted off a photo from three decade before showing her and Tony when they first met.
“My Aunty Maree found this pic in a shoebox and sent it to me a few weeks back,” she wrote alongside it. “I THINK it was the Christmas Tony and I got engaged. Well, today is our 35TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!”
“I’ve lost the perm and learned how to better apply blush. Tony never had a perm, it just looked like it! And he no longer has the shirt. Miami Vice called and wanted it back…Happy Anniversary Tone x”
Does Kylie Gillies have children?
Kylie Gillies shares two sons with her husband Tony. has two boys and when they were little she spoke of never sitting down.
Speaking on their early relationship, Kylie told Good Health & Medicine that the couple decided to pursue family life later in their career.
“If we had kids earlier in our marriage, I don’t know if we would have been ready. It’s not about you anymore, so you need to be really happy and together and love each other to death or the wheels come off,” she revealed, before later sharing that the couple sadly endured two miscarriages while attempting to conceive.
After waiting 14 years, Kylie and Tony welcomed their first son Gus in 2002, and then their youngest, Archie, two years later.
Given her early work schedule, which saw her out the door at 5:40 am, the family had nannies to help but the family always made a point to eat dinner around the table together, with Fridays ending with a movie night.
But when the teenage years hit, those shared moments at home became less common and now Gus and Archie are 21 and 19, all that feels a world away.
Now, Kylie and Tony’s biggest problem is dealing with the feeling of an empty nest, something Gillies said she has been dreading for years.
“If I could have my time again … Gosh, I wish I could have my time again,” she told Australian Women’s Weekly
Gus is currently travelling around the world and Archie is on the way out too. He’s currently at university but is keen to follow in his older brother’s footsteps afterwards.
“I’m slowly figuring it out. You feel like you’re going insane, you feel clingy and needy. I do think I hold on too tight. I was speaking to one of my other mum friends and she said she had felt the same thing,” Kylie told Mamamia.
