Jono Castano appeared to be going through some tough times as he visited his ex-girlfriend Simone Holtznagel at her family home in Wollongong on Wednesday.
The celebrity personal trainer, 33, confirmed to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday that he and the socialite, 31, had broken up, nine weeks after they officially split.
Now, the new father has been spotted visiting his ex-love and their newborn baby Gia as he continues to live away from them in Sydney.
Jono looked dejected as he wrapped himself up against the cold in a white T-shirt and black jumper from his own brand, Acero.
After speaking to Simone on the front porch of the family home, Jono was later seen driving away from the property in his Hyundai Kona electric vehicle.
Just hours after Jono revealed his split from Simone, he was spotted heading out to dinner at a fancy restaurant with a close friend that night.
Jono took to his Instagram Stories to share a gallery of snaps from his evening at exclusive Parisian brasserie Armorica in Sydney with his friend Edin Zecevic.
Friends enjoyed a bottle of wine and a delicious meal of steak and chips as Jono received support during the difficult time.

Jono exclusively told Daily Mail Australia of the split: ‘We just decided it was best for her to spend time with her family in Wollongong.
“Who knows what the future holds. Our goal is simply to be the best parents for Gia at this stage.”

News of their split came just hours after Simone posted a cryptic quote about “moving on” and being “patient” for a “long time” on her Instagram Stories.
On Monday night, Simone posted a thinly veiled message on Instagram about prioritizing her own happiness in what appeared to be a reference to their split.
The quote read: ‘You shouldn’t feel guilty about moving on if you’ve given someone multiple chances to improve or change, but they haven’t.
‘We all have limits and it’s important to look after our own wellbeing. If you’ve tried to help or waited for them to change their behaviour but things have stayed the same, it’s okay to choose what’s best for you and move on.
‘Prioritizing your own happiness and peace is essential, especially when you’ve been patient and understanding for a long time.’

News of the split came just days after the pair returned from a trip to Tasmania with Jono’s ex Amy and her new partner Aaron Evans.
Despite splitting nine weeks ago, the couple proved they are still on good terms by embarking on an intimate family getaway together.
The couple began dating 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 that she and Jono were expecting their first child together in October last year and welcomed Gia into the world on Easter Sunday, March 31.
