Exes celebrate daughter's birthday with successful co-parenting

Simone Holtznagel and Jono Castano recently reunited to celebrate their daughter Gia's first birthday. The model and personal trainer split in May last year, just weeks after Gia was born. Despite their breakup, they have worked together to co-parent their child. At the birthday celebration, Simone and Jono shared joyful moments on Instagram. They posed for photos and watched as Gia blew out her cake’s candle. The couple also gave her gifts and enjoyed the day with family members. Earlier this year, they had a family workout at Jono's gym, which they documented on social media. They joked that Gia was "their first client" as they included her in their fitness routines. Simone has expressed that she is raising Gia mainly on her own but is comfortable with her decision. She believes she is doing what is best for both herself and her daughter. Simone previously discussed the importance of knowing when to move forward in life. The couple started dating in 2022 but has since gone their separate ways. Jono is now in a relationship with fashion designer Nilofar Khirzad.
