Simone Holtznagel has delivered another hard blow to her ex-boyfriend Jono Castano following their acrimonious split.
The 31-year-old Australian model quietly split from her 33-year-old personal trainer, some nine weeks after they welcomed their daughter Gia on Easter Sunday.
Jono finally confirmed the news of their split in July and Simone has since said she is raising Gia alone and cryptically noted that she “couldn’t change” her partner.
The Australia’s Next Top Model star delivered another revealing dig at her ex-boyfriend on Monday, making a telling move on social media.
In her last post, she liked an Instagram post in which she joked about how sick you can get of the father of your child.
Next to a photo of Rowan Atkinson’s iconic character Mr. Bean vomiting in disgust, the caption reads: “Knowing you were once attracted to the father of your child.”
A humorous caption written by content creator JayDee Milo added: ‘Who feels like [vomit emoji]’???’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Simone’s representatives for comment.

The criticism comes after Simone broke her silence on their split, saying she “couldn’t change” the man she was in love with as she hinted at the reasons behind their split.
“I wanted to be an example for my daughter; that’s something that changed for me. One day I thought, ‘What am I doing? This is not right.’ And I would hate for her to ever be in that situation,” she said. Stellar.
“You gotta do what’s right for you at the end of the day. No matter how many promises or whatever people make, if they show you who they are, believe them. Because you can’t change people.”
Simone also said she’s fine raising her five-month-old baby Gia on her own and is confident she made the right choice.
“I’ve never felt more confident about anything, and I know I can do it myself. It’s a shame that I have to do most of it myself, but I really couldn’t think any other way,” she said.
“What I’m doing just feels really good to me. The most important thing to me is that Gia is happy and healthy, and that I’m happy too.”
In another comment, Simone recently discussed the pros and cons of being a ‘solo’ mother, despite seemingly sharing parenting duties with Jono.
In a recent interview, Simone noticeably forgot to mention Jono, while thanking her family and friends for their support.

When asked about the aspect of motherhood that surprised her, Simone told Women’s Health, “Positive: I can do this by myself. Negative: I do this by myself.
‘My family and friends have done absolutely everything for me and I’m lucky that the negative things are a lot easier with them by my side.’
Simone welcomed her daughter Gia with Jono on Easter Sunday, but the two split nine weeks later. Jono confirmed the news in late July.
“Who knows what the future holds, our idea is just to be the best parents for Gia at this time,” he said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia at the time.
A close friend of the couple subsequently revealed that it had been unlikely for some time that Simone and Jono’s relationship would end.
A source told The Daily Telegraph that several friends and family members had warned Simone that her modelling life would not be compatible with Jono’s career as a fitness influencer.
