Former My Kitchen Rules contestant Zana Pali has found herself at the centre of online scrutiny after a clumsy Photoshop error was spotted in one of her recent social media posts.
The Instagram Blunder That Gave the Game Away
The 34-year-old reality TV personality shared a seemingly idyllic photo to Instagram, showing her smiling at the camera while relaxing at an outdoor bar in regional Victoria, a wine glass in hand. The scenic backdrop and her relaxed demeanour painted a perfect picture of contentment.
However, keen-eyed followers quickly noticed a glaring digital editing slip. A blue-and-white striped plastic straw in her drink appeared blurred, merging unnaturally with a glass pane in the background before mysteriously reappearing. The distortion and odd positioning were clear hallmarks of a botched photo alteration.
In a curious twist, the image was later reposted, still featuring the warped straw but with an added detail: a black canvas top beside the drink that wasn't visible in the original shot, further fuelling speculation about digital manipulation.
A Glamorous Life Post-Split
Zana captioned the post with simple olive emojis, but the image comes amid a much larger narrative concerning her personal life. She has been living life to the fullest following her split from her MKR co-star and husband, Gianni Romano, last year.
Once hailed as TV's golden couple on the Channel Seven cooking show, their separation has reportedly turned 'very messy, very fast'. Insiders claim the pair, who share two young sons named Leo and Romeo, 'don't talk unless it's about the kids.'
Since the breakup, Zana has undergone a notable transformation. The lawyer-turned-reality star has been flaunting a glamorous new look, a new Porsche, and a successful businessman boyfriend. 'She's really embracing this new chapter,' a source said. 'Her social life has exploded since the split.'
Headline-Grabbing Antics Keep Melbourne Talking
Not to be outdone, Gianni, 37, has also been making waves, stepping out with 24-year-old Gracie Stewart, who is noted for bearing a striking resemblance to Zana and being nearly half his age.
The very public display of their luxurious new lifestyles has not gone unnoticed. Neighbours are said to be amused by their antics, with some even suggesting the pair should star in their own Brighton edition of 'Real Housewives.'
Despite the glossy social media posts and flashy cars, those close to the situation insist the breakup is far from amicable. With custody arrangements now in place, both parties are keeping their distance, but their post-split exploits continue to be a major talking point in Melbourne and beyond.
