PSA: There’s a breakout hunk on this season’s Dancing With The Stars. And, no surprise, it’s Home & Away star Kyle Shilling.
This year’s DWTS cast is stacked with TV legends, like Osher Gunsberg, Rebecca Gibney and Shaun Micallef. However, it’s the younger generation of stars (like Mia Fevola and Britt Hockley) who’ve been garnering entirely new fanbases. And in the case of 31-year-old Kyle, we suspect he’s winning a few hearts too.
Kyle is best known for playing Mali Hudson on Home & Away. He joined the soap in 2023, and became the first First Nations actor to portray a main character and series regular. He quickly became a fan favourite for his cheeky persona, and is definitely one of the series’ leading heartthrobs.
But who has Kyle’s heart in real life? Here’s what we know…
Who is Kyle Shilling’s partner?
Kyle keeps his private life private. Despite rumours he’s dating his Home & Away co-star Hailey Pinto, neither have given evidence to suggest this is true.
Pinto plays Kyle’s on-screen love interest Abigail Fowler. The two share a sweet chemistry in front of cameras and behind the scenes—but Kyle and Hailey are not in a relationship, despite (fake) Facebook claims to the contrary.
This is not the first time Kyle has been linked to a co-star. Hopeful fans also lapped up rumours he had a romance with Kirsty Marillier, his former on-screen partner Rose Delaney. However, Kyle and Kirsty are just friends.
Who is Kyle’s Dancing With The Stars partner?
Kyle’s latest on-screen partnership is with dancer Lily Cornish, who has guided Kyle through his Dancing With The Stars journey. The two are reportedly even frontrunners to win the series.
It’s perhaps not surprising that Kyle knows his way around the dance floor. The actor has a musical background, spending his spare time as the rapper Blacx. He also has a dance background and used to perform with the prestigious Bangarra Dance Theatre about 10 years ago. However, that hasn’t made the transition to DWTS easy.
“I hadn’t done any kind of ballroom, which was actually very difficult to lose or drop all this stuff I’d learned previously to then do ballroom, because you go into muscle memory, and I want to move in a certain way, but I can’t move that way because it’s not the style of dance,” he told Chattr in June.
We can’t wait to see where this promising Australian star goes in life and love!
