Amy Castano Slams Simone Holtznagel Over Child Support

Amy Castano has entered the public fray, defending her ex-husband, celebrity trainer Jono Castano, against accusations made by his former partner, model Simone Holtznagel. The dispute ignited when Holtznagel accused Castano of being 'delusional' and not providing sufficient child support for their daughter, Gia.

In response, Jono Castano shared bank transactions on Instagram, presenting evidence of substantial child support payments made since December. He stated that his ex-partner's claims were untrue and that he is dedicated to his daughter's well-being. Castano also alleged that court fees had amounted to over $100,000 and that Holtznagel had sought additional significant sums.

Amy Castano posted a video urging focus on what truly matters, emphasizing kindness and integrity, and implicitly supporting Jono's position. The public disagreement also involved heated exchanges captured on video, detailing arguments over supervised visits and punctuality. The situation highlights the intense challenges of co-parenting after a public separation.

This conflict follows the May 2024 split of Holtznagel and Castano, who welcomed their daughter on Easter Sunday, March 31. Their relationship began in 2022, after Castano's divorce from his high school sweetheart and former wife, Amy. Both Daily Mail and its representatives have been unable to secure further comment from Holtznagel, who stated she would not comment further.
