Simone Holtznagel knows how to rock a frock. 

On Wednesday evening, the model and mother of one gracefully emerged for the unveiling of Léays lingerie at Aria restaurant in Sydney, exuding beauty in a captivating maroon dress.

The 31-year-old’s dress hugged her body tightly, boasting a long maxi design that skimmed the ground and see-through sleeves. It also had an opening at the hip area.

She styled her hair into an elegant updo, with soft tendrils framing her face, and sported a casual, natural makeup style accentuated by a delicate pink lip tint.

Instead of accessorizing heavily, Simone completed her outfit by adding a designer handbag and earrings, while maintaining a minimalistic approach with the rest of her accessories.

It seems that Simone attended the dinner party on her own, even though there were recent reports suggesting she has rekindled a romantic relationship.

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement over the latest gossip swirling around! It seems that the enchantress has ignited whispers of romance with Max Shepherd, Dina Broadhurst’s former beau who just so happens to be an influential property developer in the Eastern Suburbs. Wow, talk about a captivating connection!

As I peruse the latest news from The Sunday Telegraph, it appears that I’ve stumbled upon an intriguing tale involving Simone and Max. Their close proximity at Justin Hemmes’ Silver Party charity event has sparked whispers, leading many to speculate that they might be discreetly exploring a romantic connection.

Even though their relationship hasn’t been formally announced yet, insiders suggest to the media outlet that they’ve grown quite fond of each other and have been frequently spending quality time together.

Simone has become quite familiar with the limelight, particularly after her high-profile split from celebrity trainer Jono Castano, who is also the father of her child.

The pair ended things last year after a tumultuous on-off relationship.

Simultaneously, Max Shepherd, aged 32, has made a reputation in the real estate sector and was once associated with Broadhurst, a renowned Australian artist famous for her nude self-portraits and provocative artworks.

He also dated US actress Vail Bloom.

From my perspective as a lifestyle expert, it’s intriguing to observe that Simone seems to deviate from Max’s typical preference. Traditionally, Max has been drawn to older brunettes, quite different from the classic blonde glamour exuded by Simone.

In the midst of selling their shared $5.2 million Rose Bay apartment from 2022, Max finds himself entangled in a new romance.

Originally priced at a staggering $11.5 million in November, this exquisite two-bedroom, two-bathroom property had been thoroughly modernized with top-tier upgrades.

But six months on, the price has been slashed to $8.4 million, according to property records.

Simone’s younger sibling, Madeline Holtznagel, is presently in a relationship with Justin Hemmes, the influential figure in hospitality and CEO of Merivale, who is 51 years old. They are anticipating the arrival of their initial offspring this month.

Previously, Simone was in a relationship with the famous fitness instructor Jono (aged 34). However, they parted ways towards the end of last year.

Since then, Jono has been seen in a new romance with actress Emily Ryder; they recently made their relationship public via social media.

This month, it was noticed that Jono was spending a romantic evening with Emily at the Sydney Opera House.

During their excursion, the couple appeared utterly enamored in a monochrome video, standing still on an impressive staircase bathed in dramatic illumination.

In the video, the fitness expert was caught locking lips with his girlfriend during a sweet photo shoot session.

The pair have reportedly been dating for several months and are taking things ‘very slowly’.

People who know the pair well confirm that Jono and Emily have a mutual love for fitness and thrilling experiences. Regularly, they can be spotted exercising side by side.
