announced the exciting baby news in September<\/a>, just months after she tied the knot with South African-born husband, Simon Stewart, in the summer. Kyla and her master builder husband, Simon, who are based in London, are expecting their first child in April.<\/p>\nShe got very honest with Patrick about how she found the first few weeks of pregnancy. She said that being pregnant is an “extremely joyful and beautiful thing,” but said, “it\u2019s horrific.”<\/p>\n
While many women face cravings and food aversions during pregnancy, Kyla admitted to one particularly Irish food item she’s been turned off.<\/p>\n
She confessed she can’t stand a specific flavour of crisps. She laughed: \u201cI can\u2019t eat cheese and onion crisps. It\u2019s going to be a terrible child, I can feel it. No craic. They don’t like Taytos, that’s the South African.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that while “it\u2019s been a fun journey,” it’s “similar to a parasite. It\u2019s hard. Very, very hard.” She described handling a rollercoaster of emotions, saying: “You\u2019re angry. You\u2019re very sad” and joked: “I don\u2019t even like my husband at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
It’s been an incredibly busy year for Kyla, 35, whose real name is Mikayla O’Connor. She and Simon were married in an intimate ceremony in Cork earlier in the summer. She performed on stages across Ireland, including at Electric Picnic, and recently sold out a headline show at Dublin’s 3Arena.<\/p>\n
Her most recent hometown performances were two sold-out shows at Cork Opera House on Tuesday, 6 October and Wednesday, 7 October as part of her Not My Lemons tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ballincollig funnywoman got real on the Late Late Show last night 13:51, 17 Oct 2026Updated 13:53, 17…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658181,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[321,93,61,60,6085],"class_list":["post-658180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-rte"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
