The former partner of AFL star Dayne Zorko is launching a men’s accessories line named after her son 18 months on from the messy split.
Kalinda Salla separated with her partner of five years after sharing a video of herself scrolling through salacious text messages on Zorko’s phone in November 2018.
A semi-naked photo of him was also shared to his own social media channel with a caption that read: ‘Thank goodness I know your pass code Dayne so I could see why you actually didn’t care about leaving me.’
‘Have fun you f**king horrible human being. You ruined mine and [our son’s] life.’

Ms Salla said the break up was ‘crazy’ and ‘terrible’, but that both she and Zorko had come a long way since that period of their lives and were now successfully co-parenting their four-year-old son, Louis
Ms Salla told The Sunday Mail the break up was ‘crazy’ and ‘terrible’, but that both she and Zorko had come a long way since that period of their lives and were now successfully co-parenting their four-year-old son, Louis.
‘The first few months it was just a crazy period with everything going on, but we always both put Louis first,’ she said.
Eventually, she came to terms with the break up and said they are both now in a good spot, sharing custody of Louis equally while juggling busy work schedules.
‘Break-ups are terrible things to go through,’ she said. ‘At that time a lot of bad things happened in my life, with a best friend passing away and just everything happening at once. But I managed to get through that and if I did that, I feel like I can do anything if I put my mind to it.

Ms Salla also revealed she would launch her men’s accessories brand, called Louzo after her son, Louis Zorlo, on Sunday to mark his fourth birthday

‘I feel like it happened for a reason and… I’m happy with how it all turned out, which sounds weird, but if you’re not happy in a relationship, don’t stay in it for the sake of it.’
Ms Salla also revealed she would launch her men’s accessories brand, called Louzo after her son, Louis Zorlo, on Sunday to mark his fourth birthday.
The brand will offer monogrammed silk bow ties for men.
The pharmacist, who had to increase her hours during the COVID-19 crisis, hopes the brand will take off and she’ll be able to drop her hours at work.
Ideally, she’d like to be able to pull Louis out of daycare on some days throughout the week to spend more time with him.
