Simone Holtznagel and ex Jono Castano have very animated discussion as they're seen back together for first time with baby daughter for Father's Day

As a seasoned observer of celebrity lives, I must say, it’s always intriguing to witness the ebb and flow of relationships, especially those as high-profile as Simone and Jono’s.


Simone Holtznagel and her ex Jono Castano have reunited to celebrate Father’s Day. 

On Sunday, the previous pair strolled their five-month-old daughter, Gia, along the shoreline in Wollongong.

Jono took over pram duty, wheeling the tot along, while Simone walked slightly ahead of him. 

She chose a form-fitting pair of tights combined with a sleeveless black body-tight top.

I accessorized my casual look by slipping into a set of black sneakers and matching socks, both in a harmonious shade. To complete the ensemble, I donned a stylish pair of designer sunglasses.

Simone styled her golden-blond hair half up, choosing a cozy makeup style accentuated by a soft peach blush and a rich nude lipstick.

The celebrity trainer meanwhile wore a white T-shirt and look track pants along with sneakers. 

Initially, the ex-pair seemed quite comfortable together while scouting a spot to rest near the shore. However, there was a brief moment when they engaged in a lively conversation.

A day following the incident, Simone made public comments about her breakup with her former partner for the first time.

31-year-old woman, currently singlehandedly rearing her ex-partner’s child, shared with Stellar Magazine that she was unable to alter her feelings for the man she believed she cared deeply about.

She expressed a desire to serve as a role model for her daughter, and this idea significantly changed for her. At one point, she found herself questioning, “Is this what I’m doing? It feels wrong,” and she couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter ever finding herself in such a situation.

At the end of the day, it’s important to do what feels right to you. Regardless of any pledges or other things people might say, they reveal their true selves over time. Trust that revelation because people cannot be changed.

Simone expressed satisfaction with her decision to raise her five-month-old daughter, Gia, on her own, and she feels certain that she’s chosen the correct path for herself.

She expressed confidence in her abilities, saying, “I’ve never been more convinced about anything. Regardless, I believe I can accomplish this task independently. It’s regrettable that I must do most of it alone, but truthfully, I can’t conceive of any other way to approach it.”

Simone went on saying, “Everything I’m engaging in seems incredibly suitable for me. Above all else, it matters deeply to me that Gia is content and thriving, and that I am as well.”

‘Because I firmly believe that if the mother is unhappy, it’s hard to have a happy child. And I feel like Gia at this point is a reflection of me, as she’s just a very content and happy little bubba.’

Simone and personal trainer Jono, 33, welcomed Gia on Easter Sunday.

Jono revealed in May that he and Simone had chosen to part ways starting from May, which was only about nine weeks following the arrival of their daughter, Gia.

In his statement to Daily Mail Australia, he expressed that while it’s uncertain what the future may bring, their aim remains to be the best parents they can be for Gia at this moment.

For a while now, it had been evident that Simone and Jono’s relationship was likely coming to an end, as a good friend of theirs had pointed out.

According to a source, Simone was advised by several friends and relatives that her modeling lifestyle might conflict with Jono’s fitness influencer profession.

Initially, things seemed amiss when Jon posted photos of his lavish vacation in Thailand, just days following Gia’s birth on March 31, without Simone and their newborn infant by his side.

Despite numerous admirers praising Jono’s photos, Simone chose not to like or comment on them.

To Women’s Health, Simone discussed the pros and cons of raising a child ‘independently’, even though she appears to co-parent with Jono.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, let me share an observation from recent events. The subject of Simone’s recent statement was primarily focused on expressing gratitude towards her loved ones – family and friends – without any direct mention of Jono. This could be interpreted as a subtle omission, perhaps hinting at their current situation. However, it is essential to remember that these are mere speculations based on public statements, and we should always respect the privacy of individuals in such situations.

When asked about an unexpected part of motherhood, Simone revealed: ‘On a positive note, I discovered I can handle things on my own. On the other hand, I’m realizing that I have to manage everything by myself.’

I’ve been incredibly fortunate because my loved ones have gone far beyond what is expected, making it much simpler for me to deal with the challenges life throws at me.

Regarding motherhood, Simone finds raising baby Gia a ‘tremendous delight’, and surprisingly, she found it less difficult than anticipated.

She shared, “Each day, I remind myself, ‘Today marks the end of her being this small,’ which makes it easier for me to appreciate even the tiniest or challenging moments.”

Her remarks came in a candid Q&A to promote her new campaign with Nala called Sorry To Offend You, which aims to break the stigma around public breastfeeding.

This week, Jono displayed his backing for her political campaign, seemingly aiming to reconcile with his girlfriend, following their separation announcement in July.

The Acero gym owner left a sentimental comment beneath a post about her promotional on Instagram, showing SImone breastfeeding their daughter Gia.

‘This is so good well done nuffle,’ he wrote, seemingly using his pet name for her. 

His gushing remark came days after he was seen leaving flowers at the ‘postpartum hotel’ where Simone was staying at with their newborn Gia in an apparent bid to win her back.

After the revelation of her split with Jono a month ago, Simone has now chosen to step back into the spotlight by launching her new campaign.
