Friends of Fifi Box can’t stop talking about her idyllic holiday to Hawaii with her boyfriend Rocky Mangano after she returned sporting more than just a summer tan!
The radio personality, 46, was spotted jetting out of Melbourne with Rocky, his two kids, as well as her daughters Trixie, 10, and Daisy, four, in tow, but it’s the snap of her donning a sparkling new addition to her ring finger that emerged last week that’s got everyone talking!
“Fifi is looking happier than ever since her break with Rocky and has been joyfully talking about her ‘hot dad’ boyfriend at any opportunity she can,” a friend of the radio personality confirms.
“In other relationships, she wouldn’t just pack up the kids and go to Hawaii for school holidays, so this one feels different,”
“She can’t wipe the smile from her face – everyone is excited for her, and so far there have been zero red flags.”
Fifi is a vision in white!

The mother-of-two has had a famously turbulent love-life, hiding for years the fact that she secretly dated and had daughter Trixie with ironman Grant Kenny, so friends are right to be protective of her privacy, but “something is different this time”, says our source.
“Fifi has let her guard down and allowed Rocky to be more involved in her family life. That hasn’t always been the case in previous relationships.”
“He is a dad too, and that is a big drawcard. He was looking for a lot of the same things Fifi has been looking for, too.”
The pair, who have been dating since meeting at the school gates earlier this year, are so comfortable with one another that Fifi is happy for father-of-two and construction worker Rocky to pick up her girls and help out with the school run.

“The work balance is hard when you’re in breakfast radio and you need to be with someone who gets that you might not be always available. Rocky steps up and offers to help, and that has allowed Fifi to have more time and flourish in other parts of her life,” adds our source.
Even Fifi’s recent radio gag – a staged wedding in Las Vegas – hasn’t been enough to scare off Rocky.
Is that a ring we see?

“They are obviously talking long-term and making plans for the future, but at this stage, there’s no need to get married,” says the insider.
“But that could all change, especially if Trixie and Daisy start begging their mum for the big white wedding they know she deserves!”
