Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has reunited with her best friend Pip Edwards just days after her former co-host Kyle Sandilands took a dig at her Eastern Suburbs friendship circle.
Pip, 46, posted several pictures of the fun-filled getaway, including one of her and Jackie, 51, at a bar enjoying a gig by The Presets.
The pair were also joined by Pip’s new boyfriend, Nick Nogarotto, and their best friend and interior designer, Steve Cordony.
Jackie showed off her mountain resort attire, wearing a chic ski suit and a black leather jacket with fur detail for the après-ski activities.
She appeared to be in good spirits during the weekend away after her ex-co-host Kyle lifted the lid on the people he believes may have influenced Jackie in the years leading up to the collapse of their once unstoppable radio partnership.

The KIIS FM shock jock previously told his longtime co-host she was ‘off with the fairies’ and criticised her growing fixation with astrology, crystals and spiritual practices.
Speaking exclusively to The Debrief with Savanna Young, Kyle speculated that outside voices – including members of Jackie’s close friendship circle – had been ‘getting in her ear’ as their working relationship began to unravel.
Jackie has, in recent years, befriended some of Sydney’s most glamorous eastern suburbs socialites including Pip – a group of women Kyle jokingly refers to as the ‘Woo Woo Crew’ and ‘The Pyjama Squad’.
‘It’s possible someone might have been [influencing her decisions] because she had a different group of friends,’ he said, referring to Jackie’s new circle.
‘Some of those girls or some of those people, they all seem nice. But you never know. Someone can get in your ear.’
Kyle explained that people outside the radio industry often didn’t understand the unique dynamic behind their long-running breakfast show, which relied on both hosts exaggerating parts of their personalities for entertainment.
‘We’re doing like a sitcom here,’ he said. ‘The show is real, but we’re like hyping up 20 per cent of our personality.’
He said their chemistry worked because they were not afraid to disagree – particularly when it came to Jackie’s interest in spirituality and wellness.

‘I don’t care about howling at the moon and rocks and all this sort of rubbish and crystals,’ he joked.
‘I’m still going to engage in it, but my engagement is going to be, “Oh, this is pretty rubbish, isn’t it?” Because that’s what a lot of people listening would think.’
Kyle also joked that he had nicknamed Jackie’s friendship group the ‘Pyjama Squad’ because of the matching loungewear looks they often sport.
‘They all get around in pyjamas,’ he said.
‘They’re all about looking fabulous and wearing crop tops and putting your crystals out when the moon is full.’
Among Jackie’s close friends is P.E Nation founder Pip, who has long been open about her interest in new-age rituals, including tarot, crystals and energy healing.
The socialite has previously shared glimpses of her spiritual practices online, including a photo posted early last year showing tarot cards and crystals spread across a velvet-covered table.
The image tagged both Jackie and Pip’s son, Justice, suggesting the pair had been involved in the experience together.

Jackie and Pip often share photos from their wellness-focused outings.
Last year, Pip posted a photo of herself and Jackie relaxing on a beach, captioning the image: ‘Back home and straight into solar charging… but most of all, SOUL charging.’
Kyle clarified he has no issue with Pip personally.
‘I have met some of Jackie’s friends along the way, like on a boat party,’ he said.
‘I met Pip Edwards… I knew who she was, and my wife knew who Pip was because back in the day, I think they used to go clubbing together.’
He recalled her being friendly when they met.
‘She was lovely. She was like, “Oh my God, I’ve always wanted to meet you.” Big hug.’
Just hours before the shock announcement Jackie was quitting The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the radio star visited a wellness studio in Newtown with her friend Steve Cordony.
The ‘sound medicine’ class the pair attended was called Empower: Dynamic Fire Element, a 90-minute experience that costs $75 per person.
According to Frequency Lab’s website, the class is ‘a shamanic journey that stimulates life force and action by awakening our inner fire and warrior archetype’.
Students ‘own their inner warrior’ as they lie on waterbeds while listening to the sound of drums, didgeridoo, gongs and ‘transcendental voice activations’.
