During an interview he revealed “There was a time when I should have been there for her and I wasn’t.” What Kyle is talking about is when in 2005 his sister had a big health scare and one of the first calls she made was to her brother.

Kyle told USA TODAY

“I should have been the one who was there for her at that time, reaching out to her, but that was a low point for me.

“I was wrapped up in all my own stuff. I would take pretty much whatever people put in front of me: crystal meth, cocaine, alcohol, whatever. I was not in control of my life. And there she was, fighting for her own life but worrying about mine, sending me messages to tell me she loved me.”

But all that is in the past, the 32-year-old turned his energies to fitness and his hairdressing career, he’s been sober for more than eight years and is making a name for himself in L.A.

Kyle is now his sister biggest supporter and fan, he’s always down to watch her games and tweet about it!
