'Yeah, 11 years ago,' she added before Kyle gave Rebecca a hearty: 'Well done.' In a video posted to Kyle & Jackie O's Instagram story, Rebecca said that she wanted to thank the radio duo in person for their generosity.
'I first met Kyle and Jackie O when I came in around 11 years ago and had a sad story,' Rebecca said in the clip. 'They paid for my IVF and now because of them I have an 11 year old and an eight year old so I came today to say thank you.' The generous act occurred back in 2012, when Kyke and Jackie O were on 2Day FM.
After Rebecca was gifted two rounds of IVF treatment by the radio duo, she phoned in to the studio in November of that year. 'I just wanted to give you an update. that I'm 14 weeks pregnant,' Rebecca told the pair at the time.

the first round didn't work but it worked on the second round. The news was met with a hearty congratulations from Jackie who offered, 'We're so happy Rebecca, that's great news.' 'I'm claiming some of that baby, then,' Kyle cheekily added.
Offering her sincere thanks to the pair, Rebecca was overcome with emotion, which prompted Kyle to ask what she was getting upset about. 'I can't wait for my husband to hold a healthy baby in his arms, and it's really all because of you guys.' Jackie herself welcomed daughter Kitty, 13, with ex-husband Lee Henderson in December 2010 via IVF after being unable to conceive naturally.
Rebecca's heartfelt 'thank you' comes after Jackie O was again reminded of the radio duo's largesse during a book signing in Perth. Jackie was left 'overwhelmed and emotional' when she met 20-year-old fan Ziad whose life she helped save in 2016. The generous act occurred back in 2012, when Kyke and Jackie O were on 2Day FM Only 12-years-old at the time, Ziad had been diagnosed with a brain tumour when Jackie and her co-host Kyle Sandilands helped raise $150,000 for his surgery.
Eight years later, the young boy, now a grown man, made an unexpected appearance at Jackie's book signing to thank her for her part in his recovery. Their reunion was caught on camera as the media personality paused her six-hour-long book signing to embrace Ziad and his mother. 'Just seeing him today, he's grown up and he's happy and healthy and thriving and living such a great life,' Jackie said after meeting Ziad once more.
Knowing that all our [radio] listeners came together to make that happen was really beautiful,' she added. Ziad appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show back in 2016 as his family sought help to raise funds which would pay for his life-saving surgery. Within 10 minutes of appearing on the KIIS FM radio show, Ziad's story had touched the hearts of listeners who donated more than $150,000 to help remove his tumour.
'The power of their community and platform is why my boy is standing here right now,' Ziad's mother said during her reunion with Jackie.
