Signs of Simone Holtznagel and Jono Castano’s Split

Jono Castano confirmed his split from Simone Holtznagel on Tuesday just months after the couple welcomed their baby daughter Gia.

The celebrity personal trainer revealed that he and Simone decided to go their separate ways nine weeks ago, around the end of May.

But eagle-eyed fans may have noticed all was not well with the pair for quite some time.

Simone hasn’t posted any recent photos with Jono to her social media account, with the last image taken in April.

At the time, the model shared a behind-the-scenes video of the pair during their first photo shoot with their daughter.

She also celebrated her birthday on July 15th with a party, but Jono didn’t appear in any photos taken at the event.

Meanwhile, the last picture Jono shared of Simone was on May 12 to wish the model a Happy Mother’s Day. 

Simone responded to the post with several heart emojis.  

The most telling sign that there was trouble in paradise was on Monday, when Simone posted a cryptic quote about ‘moving forward’ and being ‘patient’ for a ‘long time’.

The thinly-veiled message was also about prioritising her own happiness in what appeared to be a reference to their separation.

The quote read: ‘You shouldn’t feel guilty for moving forward if you’ve given someone multiple opportunities to improve or change, but they didn’t.

‘Everyone has limits, and it’s important to look out for your own well-being. If you tried to help or waited for them to change their behaviour, but things stayed the same, it’s okay to choose what’s best for you and move on.

‘Prioritising your own happiness and peace is essential, especially when you’ve been patient and understanding for a long time.’

Jono exclusively told Daily Mail Australia of the couple’s break-up: ‘We just decided it was best for her to spend time with her family in Wollongong.

‘Who knows what the future holds our idea is just to be the best parents for Gia at this stage.’

Simone is currently staying with her family in Wollongong, while Jono remains in Sydney running his gym Acero which he co-founded with his ex-wife Amy.

The couple’s separation came around nine weeks after they welcomed their first child into the world on Easter Sunday.

Simone and Jono are believed to still be on amicable terms and are focusing on co-parenting their beloved daughter.

Despite separating nine weeks ago, they proved they are still on good terms as they recently jetted off on an intimate family getaway to Tasmania with Jono’s ex-wife Amy and her new partner Aaron Evans.

During the trip, Jono shared a photo to Instagram of Simone reading a story to their beloved daughter.

Before this, he hadn’t posted any images of the model to his social media, with the last post being a Mother’s Day tribute in May.

The couple first started dating back in 2022, months after Jono confirmed his split from his longtime partner Amy.

Celebrity personal trainers Jono and Amy were high school sweethearts, but divorced in 2021 after 15 years together.

Simone confirmed she and Jono were expecting their first child together
in October last year, and welcomed Gia into the world on Easter Sunday, March 31.
