Kyle was born in the Canning Town area of London.[10] He attended the independent Reading Blue Coat School in Sonning, Berkshire[1] and studied history and sociology at University of Surrey.[11]
He met his first wife, Kirsty Rowley, in the autumn of 1988, when he was a recruitment consultant in an agency in Bristol.[12] They became a couple within a fortnight, and were engaged two months after that, in December. They married in Almondsbury near Bristol seven months later, in July 1989. Their daughter, Harriet, was born eleven months after that, in June 1990. The marriage ended just five months after that, in November 1990. His wife claims that Kyle had carefully concealed a destructive and expensive gambling habit from her over the course of their marriage.[12] This included stealing money from her bank account, and accumulating thousands of pounds of debt to fund his habit. He is reported to have had several affairs during his short lived marriage.
He met former model Carla Germaine in 1999, when he was presenting on a BRMB radio show, and Germaine entered the controversial Two Strangers and a Wedding contest hosted by the station.[13] As the winner of the bride part of the contest, her prize was to marry the selected groom, Greg Cordell. Their marriage lasted only three months, after claims that Greg had an affair just days after their honeymoon, and she subsequently married Kyle in 2002.[13][14][15] They since have two daughters together named Alice (born January 2004) and Ava (born October 2005) and a son named Henry (born March 2009).
Kyle is also a supporter of West Ham United.[16] Kyle also suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and has stated that he "licks his mobile phone to make sure it's clean", as stated in his book "I'm Only Being Honest".[17]
