The identity of Fifi Box's mystery new boyfriend has been revealed just weeks after the radio host announced she had a new man in her life.

Two weeks ago, the 46-year-old told listeners on her breakfast show, Fifi, Fev & Nick, that she was officially off the market after meeting a “hot dad” while doing the school run at her daughter’s school in Melbourne.

Now, it’s been reported that man is construction company project manager and dad of two, Rocky Mangano.

And it appears he has already met Box’s two children – Trixie, 10, and Daisy, 4 – as he was spotted attending her youngest daughter’s birthday party late last month.

In a video from the party which Box shared on Instagram, Mangano could be seen standing and smiling in the background as Daisy and her friends danced at the Frozen-themed party.

From his own Facebook page, Mangano – who is also based in Melbourne – appears to be a race car enthusiast, often sharing photos from the track with his mates. Among his photos shared, he also enjoys travelling and experiencing the finer things in life.

It was late last month that Box excitedly revealed on air that she was in relationship again.

“I do have some news. I’m in a relationship! I’m not single anymore!” she said at the time, although she chose not to disclose his identity to co-hosts Brendan “Fev” Fevola and Nick Cody.

She did share that they made eye contact various times while doing the school run and eventually struck up a conversation after he spotted her daughter Daisy throwing an epic tantrum in the playground.

“I don’t get crushes very often but a guy piqued my interest. And he was one of the guys at school pick up. We called him ‘hot dad’,” she said.

“I could ascertain he’s a single dad. I couldn’t figure out how to speak to him. I have my daughter Daisy to thank for that. She threw the mother of all tantrums, she hadn’t slept, she turned it on. I think I was dragging her across the playground thinking it’s so embarrassing and I looked up at him and he was laughing his head off.”

Box welcomed Daisy in 2019 via IVF with an anonymous donor and she welcomed eldest daughter Trixie in 2013 shortly after her relationship ended with former Ironman champ Grant Kenny.

However, Box refused to confirm or deny at the time if Kenny was the father.

It wasn’t until 2016 when he was spotted at Trixie’s birthday party that Box acknowledged he was in fact Trixie’s dad.

The star was most recently linked to Neighbours actor Damien Richardson, but their two-year relationship ended in 2018.
