My Kitchen Rules star Zana Pali makes a scathing comment about her ex after their acrimonious split

by

Zana Pali, who previously appeared on a reality show, seemingly criticized her ex-boyfriend, Gianni Romano, while interacting with fans online.

Zana, age 35 and a former contestant on the show My Kitchen Rules (appearing in 2016 with her then-husband), responded to a fan question about staying friends with an ex by saying it wasn’t possible.

‘…Once I’m done. I’m done,’ she continued.

The lawyer and property developer, who has two sons with her former partner, also stated that she won’t allow someone access to her after she’s ended the relationship.

During her Instagram fan chat, Zana also offered relationship advice when someone asked if men are capable of changing.

‘They can, but not for you,’ Zana replied.

People only change when they’re ready, not because someone tells them to. If you’re hoping for someone to change for your sake, you’re likely setting yourself up for disappointment.

It comes after Zana declared back in August she was through with romance.

The former reality TV contestant, once portrayed as the ‘villain’, shared a video on Instagram when asked about her current relationship status.

In a recent clip, Tom Schwartz from Vanderpump Rules shared that he’s currently not interested in being in a relationship and doesn’t want to be with anyone right now.

Honestly, I’ve noticed a really frustrating pattern in small talk. People immediately jump to asking ‘Where are you from?’ and it can feel incredibly intrusive. I’ve heard people express it bluntly – like one person I know said, ‘Just stop asking! I don’t want to share that, and frankly, I don’t need to know your life story either!’ It’s a reminder that sometimes the simplest questions can really miss the mark and make others uncomfortable.

I never want to hear about your life again. I really mean it – never. I absolutely don’t want to go through that experience again.

Just a few hours before, Zana shared a meme stating, ‘Not interested, not available, and frankly disgusted.’

She shared this photo with the caption, ‘When people ask if I’m ready to date,’ followed by emojis showing she’s overwhelmed and finds the question funny.

In July, Zana sparked a lot of excitement among her fans when she posted a picture from a trip to Greece with someone who seemed to be a romantic partner.

The picture featured a delicious seafood meal, with a man holding a phone nearby.

However, it seems any holiday romance has fizzled. 

Gianni and Zana, known for appearing on the show My Kitchen Rules in 2016, recently made news when they announced their split in July 2025.

The couple’s house on Brighton’s prestigious beachfront, which featured a basement nightclub and a lift, was sold for around $10 million last year.

This property is located on a prestigious street known as ‘millionaires’ row,’ a popular spot for prominent figures from the Victorian era and today, including celebrities like Bec and Chris Judd.

When Gianni and Zana arrived in the neighbourhood with their sons, Leo and Romeo (now six and five years old), they quickly became popular with the local high society.

They married in November 2014 on Hayman Island and later had two sons, Leo in 2018 and Romeo in 2020.
