Another one bites the dust? Fifi Box ‘splits’ from ‘hot dad’ boyfriend Rocky Mangano because radio star’s public profile was ‘too much’ to handle
Fifi Box has reportedly split from her ‘hot dad’ boyfriend of one year Rocky Mangano.
The 46-year-old radio star from Melbourne, who went public with her new boyfriend in August last year, is said to have recently said goodbye to 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, reported New idea on Monday.
“While they initially bonded over single parenthood, many are wondering if Fifi’s enormous public profile has proven to be too much for Rocky,” the insider said.
They went on to say that Fifi may have ‘drowned her sorrows’ with radio co-stars Brendan ‘Fev’ Fevola and Nick Cody earlier this month.

With the help of her colleagues, Fifi broke the world record for most pubs visited by an individual in the space of 24 hours for their Fox FM show Fifi, Fev & Nick.
But the source claims she may have used the challenge as an excuse to deal with her recent breakup.
“The thing about Fifi is that she knows there will always be one leading man in her life that she can count on, besides her father, and that is Fev,” the source said.
Ny Breaking Australia has contacted Fifi for comment.
It comes after Fifi revealed she and Rocky have found a beautiful balance between parenthood and romance, the newspaper reports Stellar magazine.

‘For both of us, our children are our priority. He is so supportive and understanding of me and the kind of mother I am,” she told the publication in May.
‘I’m very practical, but it’s just nice to meet someone who is in a similar space. We enjoy our time together and then we have our time with our children. It is awesome.’
Fifi also shared the sweet moment she and the father-of-two first fell for each other in the schoolyard as they picked up their children.
‘[Daisy] I had a bit of a tantrum and I tried to control 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, 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’ve got some news. I’m in a relationship! I’m not single anymore!’
She admitted his name was Rocky, but she called him “hot dad” to her friends.
“While they initially bonded over single parenthood, many are wondering if Fifi’s enormous public profile has proven to be too much for Rocky,” the insider said.
The mother of young daughters Beatrix and Daisy revealed they met during the school run in Melbourne after repeatedly making eye contact.
Rocky is a father of two children and regularly posts photos of his outings with his son and daughter on Facebook.
Fifi was previously linked to 61-year-old Grant, 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 didn’t acknowledge that Grant was Trixie’s father until 2016, when she shared a photo on Instagram of the retired athlete attending their child’s third birthday party.
