Fifi Box has reportedly split from her ‘hot dad’ boyfriend of one-year Rocky Mangano.
The Melbourne radio star, 46, who went public with her new beau in August last year, is said to have recently parted ways from the father-of-two.
According to an inside source, the media personality’s public profile may have been ‘too much’ for her lover to take on, reported New Idea on Monday.
‘While they initially bonded over single parenthood, many are wondering if Fifi’s huge public profile must have proved all too much for Rocky,’ the insider said.
They went on to say Fifi may have been ‘drowning her sorrows’ earlier this month with radio co-stars Brendan ‘Fev’ Fevola and Nick Cody.

With the help of her colleagues, Fifi broke the world record for the most pubs visited in the span of 24 hours by an individual for their Fox FM show Fifi, Fev & Nick.
But the source claims she may have used the challenge as an excuse to cope with her recent split.
‘The thing with Fifi is she knows there will always be one leading man in her life who she can count on, apart from her dad, and that is Fev,’ the source said.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Fifi for comment.
It comes after Fifi revealed she and Rocky struck a wonderful balance between parenting and romance, reported Stellar Magazine.

‘For both of us our kids are our priority. He’s so supportive and understanding of me and the kind of mum I am,’ she told the publication in May.
‘I’m very hands-on, but it’s just lovely meeting somebody who’s in a similar space. We enjoy our time together and then we have our time with our kids. It’s great.’
Fifi also recounted the sweet moment she and the father-of-two first fell for each other in the school playground while picking up their kids.
‘[Daisy] was throwing a bit of a tantrum and I was trying to manage it,’ she said of her young daughter.
‘I looked up and he was laughing his head off and thought it was funny. That started a conversation, and the rest is history.’

In August, Fifi revealed she was ‘officially off the market’ and in a new relationship with Rocky, who is one of the dads at her daughter’s school.
The radio host and media personality excitedly shared the happy news on her Fox 101.9 radio show Fifi, Fev and Nick.
Fifi, whose last public relationship was with former Ironman Grant Kenny, told listeners: ‘I do have some news. I’m in a relationship! I’m not single anymore!’
She admitted his name was Rocky, however, she used to call him ‘hot dad’ to her mates.

The mother of young daughters Beatrix and Daisy revealed that they met on the school run in Melbourne after making eye contact on numerous occasions.
Rocky is a father-of-two, frequently posting photos of his outings with his son and daughter to Facebook.
Fifi was previously linked to Grant, 61, who she dated for several months in 2012, but split from by the time she welcomed daughter Beatrix ‘Trixie’ Belle via IVF in 2013.
She did not acknowledge Grant was Trixie’s father until 2016, when she shared a photo to Instagram of the retired athlete attending their child’s third birthday party.
