“It started as a crush about a year ago. He was one of the dads at school pick-up and I’d see him every day,” she explained.

Her co-host Nick chimed in, calling the mystery man ‘hot school dad’.

“Well that was our nickname, we called him hot dad,” Fifi said, revealing his name is actually Rocky.

“I could ascertain he’s a single dad.

“I couldn’t figure out how to speak to him.”

Fifi went on to say that she has her daughter, Daisy, to thank for the pair finally speaking, after the three-year-old “threw the mother of all tantrums” in front of him.

“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,” she said.

Fans of the star were absolutely delighted with the news, with one person saying: “So happy for you Fifi and your new partner. Wishing you both so much laughter, good times and happiness together.”

Another agreed, saying: “Yay so happy for you fifi you deserve romance and love.”

Putting motherhood before finding love

In May, the 46-year-old star, who welcomed 10-year-old Trixie with her ex, Grant Kenny, spoke with the Something To Talk About podcast about the difficulties she faced before her three-year-old daughter Daisy came into the world.

“When Trixie was two, and I was 38, 39, I did suddenly go, ‘Hang on a second, I want more children. I’d love that,” she said.

“I now realise that women don’t have the luxury of ‘the right time’ – because the first appointment I had with my IVF doctor, I was thinking, I’ve seen Hollywood actresses have babies (in their) mid-40s, I’ve got years up my sleeve.

“He showed me the graph and said, ‘You’ve got basically a seven to nine per cent chance of conceiving’. It was like a low blow in my gut. ‘Oh, this might not happen. I might not have another child’.”

She said she didn’t want to have a child with someone “just to have a man there” and because she was “financially in a position to do it on her own” she “got her skates on and decided to go down the path of egg retrieval very quickly.”

The TV and radio personality said she did two rounds of IVF, one when she was 39 and one when she was 40.

Out of 30 eggs, Fifi got two embryos because of the “quality” of her eggs due to her age. Fifi says she wishes she’d known as a younger woman “more about her body”.

While Fifi did fall pregnant, she said she was conscious that so many women who go through the same process don’t have the same outcome.

“Even the fact that it was a seven per cent chance of success and I got my baby, my angel,” she said.

“My heart broke. Because going in and out of the clinic, I’d see women in tears. I was often in a room, they had counselling rooms, and a nurse would come in, get the box of tissues and take them to the next room. It can be a really sad experience.

“I had a little guilt that I’d had such a successful experience when I knew so many other women were suffering. It’s a tough journey.”

While Fifi said finding a man could wait, motherhood was more important to her.

"Motherhood is everything. It's the only thing I really care about," she said. "It was an epiphany. I thought, I've got the rest of my life to fall in love but I don't have the rest of my life to have this baby."
