The Massachusetts-born pop star, 30, and her husband Daryl Sabara stayed in Australia for several months in 2023 while she filmed her role on the Channel Seven series . The blonde bombshell appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show and told her former Idol co-star Kyle Sandilands , 52, that he partly served as the naming inspiration.
'Barry was in my belly when I was next to you. I told you his name was Bruce but then changed it to Barry Bruce at the last minute,' she began. Kyle then asked Meghan why she had chosen such an 'old fashioned' name for her son, instead of going with something more unique - and was shocked by her response.
