Pip Edwards lifts the lid on her surprisingly close friendship with Jackie ‘O’ Henderson: ‘Like a lesbian couple’

P.E Nation founder Pip Edwards opened up on Thursday about her very close friendship with radio queen Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.

The activewear entrepreneur, 44, was a guest on The Kyle and Jackie O Show and told co-host Kyle Sandilands, 52, about the secret to their strong connection.

‘There’s something to say about finding a friendship later in life. You know what you are looking for and what you stand for,’ Pip began.

A horrified Jackie, 49, then said that Pip made it sound like ‘we are coming out’ and Kyle joked they were ‘like a lesbian couple’.

Pip added they had such a great platonic friendship and one of the things she most admired about Jackie was how kind she was to everyone they came across.

Kyle asked if Jackie had the same sweet personality off the air that she did when presenting alongside him. 

‘When I see her being inundated with fans, she is so lovely and gives everyone her time. She really does give it back and it is really beautiful to watch,’ Pip confirmed.

Jackie and Pip have been getting close since September last year, when the radio host announced the socialite would join her on a Fiji trip.

The tropical holiday was organised by Besties, the business venture Jackie runs with her best friend Gemma O’Neill.

Just a few months later, Jackie and her new pal Pip enjoyed a business lunch together with Gemma.

It’s no surprise Pip was on the hunt for a new bestie, following her shock split from former business partner Claire Tregoning.

Last month, Edwards shared an update to her Instagram, revealing she had deleted every single post on the P.E. Nation page.

This shock move erases years of posts promoting the sportswear brand – and all traces of her former business partner from the page.

In March, Pip and Claire officially parted ways after more than a decade of working together.

The friends, who were recently hit by rumours of a rift, co-founded athleisure brand  in Sydney back in 2015, and since turned it into a globally thriving business.

However Claire stepped back from running the label, while Pip has continued at the helm of the brand solo.
