The socialite split from her ex-boyfriend, celebrity trainer Jono, 33, on Easter Sunday, just nine weeks after they welcomed their baby daughter Gia into the world.
Earlier this month, Simone hinted that she was truly over her ex when she shared a very revealing post on her Instagram last Wednesday.
The blonde beauty shared a photo showing two cards from a deck of Beyond Words cards.
The deck contains 52 cards with inspiring aphorisms, accompanied by illustrations by artist See Aiche.
Simone’s photo showed one card face down and another with a quote from an “unknown” source.
The quote read: “The best revenge is not to take revenge.” Keep going, be happy.’
The post appeared to be a direct comment on her relationship with Jono, several months after their split.
Jono confirmed the news of their split to Daily Mail Australia in July, and Simone has since said she is raising Gia alone.
The Australian model was all smiles as she took a selfie in the elevator while holding her laughing bundle of joy in one arm.
She cryptically commented that she “couldn’t change” the man she loved, and told him Stellar: ‘I wanted to set 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 this situation.
He continued: ‘At the end of the day, you have to do what is right for you.
‘No matter how many promises or anything else people do, when they show you who they are, believe them. Because you can’t change people.’
Simone also said that she is happy to be raising Gia alone and is confident she made the right decision.
“I’ve never felt more confident about anything and I know I can do it alone,” she said.
“It’s a shame I have to do it alone, but I couldn’t really think any other way.”
‘What I’m doing seems very good to me. The most important thing for me is that Gia is happy and healthy, and that I am happy too.”

Simone and Jono began dating in 2022, months after Jono confirmed his separation 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.
Jono has since moved on with fashion designer Nilofar Khirzad.
The new couple made their relationship Instagram official when Nilofar shared a photo of them kissing during a night out in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Jono sparked rumors that he was involved in a new relationship after he was seen liking and leaving very flirty comments on Nilofar’s Instagram posts in October.
