Jono Castano has enjoyed his first Father’s Day with his newborn daughter Gia.
The celebrity personal trainer, 33, took to Instagram on Sunday to share photo with his baby girl, who lives with her mother Simone Holtznagel.
In the sweet photo, the proud dad kissed his five-month-old daughter as they spent quality time together.
‘Daddy loves you G. First Father’s Day!’ he captioned the image.
The post comes just one day after Jono’s ex Simone took a swipe at him after the pair’s acrimonious split.
The model, 31, who is raising the former couple’s baby daughter as a single mother, told Stellar Magazine that she ‘couldn’t change’ the man she thought she loved.
‘I wanted to set an example for my daughter; that’s something that shifted for me. One day I was like, “What am I doing? This isn’t right.” And I would hate if she was ever in this situation,’ she said.
‘You have to do what is right for you at the end of the day. No matter the number of promises or anything else that people make, when they show you who they are, believe them. Because you can’t change people’.

Simone said she is content raising her baby, Gia, alone, and that she is confident she made the right choice.
‘I’ve never felt more sure of anything. And I know I can do it by myself. It’s unfortunate that I’m mostly having to do it by myself, but I couldn’t think of it any other way, really,’ she said.
‘What I’m doing just feels very right for me. The most important thing to me is that Gia is happy and healthy, and that I’m happy too,’ Simone continued.
‘Because I firmly believe that if the mother is unhappy, it’s hard to have a happy child. And I feel like Gia at this point is a reflection of me, as she’s just a very content and happy little bubba.’

Simone and celebrity personal trainer Jono welcomed Gia on Easter Sunday.
Jono recenttly confirmed that he and Simone decided to go their separate ways in May – just nine weeks after the birth of baby Gia.
‘Who knows what the future holds, our idea is just to be the best parents for Gia at this stage,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.
A close friend of the couple then revealed the writing was on the wall for the end of Simone and Jono’s relationship for quite some time.
A source told The Daily Telegraph that several friends and family members warned Simone her model lifestyle was not compatible with Jono’s fitness influencer career.
