Shortly after breaking up with Clare on Married At First Sight, Jono Pitman boasted that he’d coupled up with a brand new girlfriend.
But his post-reality TV fling didn’t last long, it seems: Jono appeared on the Fitzy and Wippa show yesterday, telling the Nova 96.9 radio hosts he’s newly single once more.

“It’s been a bit up and down since the show. I can say now that I’m 100 per cent single," the 28-year-old tradie said.
"A week or two ago I said I was seeing someone," he went on, apparently referring to an interview from mid-April, when he said he was dating somebody he'd met before his reality TV stint.
"I was trying to work things out with a certain person, but I’m single," he continued.

Some claim Jono's post-Married At First Sight girlfriend was Melbourne woman Rachel Baxter, who appeared with him in a number of social media snaps following the show's filming.
A source even told Mamamia last month that Rachel was Jono's girlfriend prior to the show, but that their relationship ended in the lead-up to filming.
The source confirmed to Mamamia that after filming ended, Jono took back up with Rachel, who the source says was then "very much in love with him".
"He was still texting her while he was 'married'," the source added.

Jono also spoke with Fitzy and Wippa about his relationship with former "wife" Clare during yesterday's interview, saying they were no longer on speaking terms.
