While it’s still fresh, Poh maintains she and Jono, 39, remain amicable as they work alongside one another.
‘But Jono and I still work together and are the best of friends,’ she said.
She added that it was the most ‘untraumatic breakup possible.’
Bizarre connection: In a unique situation, Poh, Jono and her ex-husband Matt Phipps run Jamface Cafe at the Adelaide Central Market, along Matt’s new wife Sarah Rich (who also happens to be Poh’s best friend of 20 years). Pictured left: Jono and Poh, right: Matt and wife Sarah Rich

She joked that Jamface ‘is a catalogue of failed marriages.’
Speaking of the working with ex-husband Matt back in 2017, Poh told Mamamia: ‘He’s my ex-husband. She’s my best friend. And when we broke up, they got together and it’s all dandy.’
