In 2014, Kyle revealed that Eastwood had been supportive of his passion for music. “I think he appreciates my music,” he told the Belfast Telegraph. “We’ve written a few things together, and anytime we’re in the same part of the world, he tries to come by and catch the band when he can. He’s happy that I’ve found music and that I’ve dedicated myself to it.”
Kyle married Laura Gomez in 1995 and welcomed a daughter, Graylen Spencer, before their marriage ended in divorce. He later tied the knot with Cynthia Ramirez in September 2014 at Eastwood’s ranch in Carmel, California.
