Most Australians know the voice before the face — a breezy Melbourne accent cutting through Fox FM’s breakfast banter. Behind the on-air nickname sits Fiona Box, a radio and television presenter, per Who (Australian celebrity title), whose family milestones — a first pregnancy announced live on air, a second daughter welcomed via IVF — have played out almost as publicly as her career; this guide sorts the confirmed biography from the tabloid speculation, so you know what’s fact, what’s rumour and what’s still unverified.
Full name: Fiona Box · Born: 1977 (age 48–49) · Occupation: Radio broadcaster, television presenter, actress · Known for: Fifi, Fev and Nick breakfast show on Fox FM · Children: Two daughters: Trixie Belle and Daisy Belle

What is Fifi Box doing now?
Fifi Box remains a fixture of Australian breakfast radio, and the public moments that surrounded her in 2023–2024 were family-driven rather than career-driven.
Current radio and TV roles
- Per Wikipedia, she hosts Fox FM’s Melbourne breakfast show Fifi, Fev and Nick (Wikipedia (open encyclopedia))
- Her public profile still spans radio and television, with celebrity listings describing her as a broadcaster, presenter and actress (Who (Australian celebrity title))
Recent public appearances
- In February 2023 she spoke publicly about her IVF experience for the first time (Nine (Australian broadcaster))
- In May 2023 she gave a widely covered interview to 7NEWS about her family story (7NEWS (Australian news network))
- Across 2024, her biggest tabloid moment was a rumoured relationship change, not a career move (New Idea (Australian women’s magazine))
Hosting the same metro breakfast show makes Fifi part of Melbourne listeners’ daily routine — a level of familiarity that very few media jobs create.
The pattern: her professional identity has stayed remarkably stable; it is her private life that keeps generating new headlines.
Is Fifi Box her real name?
No — Fifi is the radio name, while Fiona is the full form that appears in official profiles.
Fifi Box real name
- Her full name is Fiona Box (Who (Australian celebrity title))
- Every serious profile, news report and encyclopedia entry introduces her as Fifi Box, with Fiona cited as the legal and formal version of the name
Why she uses the name Fifi Box
- The nickname comes from Fiona — shorter, warmer, and far easier to fit into a breakfast-show intro
- The name “Fifi Box” has become the public identity for more than two decades of on-air work, per Wikipedia’s chronology of her career (Wikipedia (open encyclopedia))
The takeaway: Fifi Box is the name that built the career; Fiona Box is the legal anchor behind it.
Is Fifi Box in a relationship?
The record is clearer about the past than the present: one well-documented ex-partner, one reported romance, and an open question after 2024.
Who is Fifi Box’s partner?
- Her most significant past relationship was with Grant Kenny, a former Ironman and Olympian (Daily Mail (UK news outlet))
- More recently, Fifi revealed a relationship with Rocky Mangano, described as a “hot dad” she met on the school run (7NEWS (Australian news network))
Is Fifi Box still with Rocky?
- A 2024 New Idea report said the pair may have split after months without being seen together (New Idea (Australian women’s magazine))
- Neither Fifi nor Rocky has publicly confirmed or denied the report — the relationship status is unresolved
The catch: the only recent breakup claim comes from a single magazine report; until Fifi addresses it on air, “split” is a headline rather than a verified fact.
How many children does Fifi Box have?
Two daughters — and the story of how they arrived is one Fifi has told herself, in detail, on air and in interviews.
Names of Fifi Box’s children
- Trixie Belle Box and Daisy Belle Box — the two daughters confirmed by her celebrity profile (Who (Australian celebrity title))
Parenting in the public eye
- She announced her first pregnancy live on air on 2012-11-19 (Wikipedia (open encyclopedia))
- Daisy was conceived via IVF with the help of a sperm donor (New Idea (Australian women’s magazine))
- In February 2023, Fifi called the IVF process “brutal” (Nine (Australian broadcaster))
- In May 2023, she described welcoming Daisy as like “a blow to my gut” (7NEWS (Australian news network))
Why this matters: Fifi did not just report her family milestones — she turned them into broadcast moments, which is exactly why listeners know her children’s names at all.
How much does Fifi Box get paid?
There is no verified answer — and that absence of evidence is the most important fact in this section.
Estimated net worth
- Exact salary is not publicly disclosed by Fifi Box, Fox FM, or any official source
- Online “net worth” figures come from entertainment databases and tabloid estimates, not from verified financial records
- The only reliable career metric is longevity: she still headlines a titled role on a metro breakfast show (Wikipedia (open encyclopedia))
Income sources
- Breakfast radio hosting at Fox FM — her primary, longest-running role (Wikipedia (open encyclopedia))
- Television presenting and acting credits that extend her public profile (Who (Australian celebrity title))
Any precise “Fifi Box net worth” figure is someone’s guess, not a disclosure. If an article cannot name its source, the number is content, not finance.
The trade-off: the longer her salary stays unconfirmed, the more space there is for invented figures to circulate — which is exactly why this guide flags them as unverified.
Fifi Box career and family timeline
Most of the family dates below are drawn from Wikipedia (open encyclopedia), which offers the most complete public chronology of her personal milestones; career and relationship items are anchored to the outlets that reported them.
- — Fiona Box is born; a 2023 Nine report listed her age as 45 (Nine (Australian broadcaster))
- — Announces her first pregnancy live on air, per Wikipedia (Wikipedia)
- — Grant Kenny is reported as the father of her first child, per Wikipedia (Wikipedia)
- — First daughter, Trixie, is born, per Wikipedia (Wikipedia)
- — Announces she is expecting a second child via IVF, per Wikipedia (Wikipedia)
- — Second daughter, Daisy, is born, per Wikipedia (Wikipedia)
- — Discusses her “brutal” IVF journey publicly (Nine (Australian broadcaster))
- — Describes welcoming Daisy as “a blow to my gut” (7NEWS (Australian news network))
- — New Idea reports a possible split with Rocky Mangano (New Idea (Australian women’s magazine))
The implication: across the timeline, the most personal dates — pregnancies, births, IVF — anchor Fifi’s public story as firmly as any career milestone.
What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear
Because coverage of Fifi Box mixes verified biography with tabloid guesswork, the honest summary splits into two lists.
Confirmed facts
- Real name: Fiona Box (Who (Australian celebrity title))
- Australian radio and television presenter (Who)
- Single mother of two daughters, Trixie Belle and Daisy Belle (Who)
- Eldest daughter Trixie is shared with ex-partner Grant Kenny (Daily Mail (UK news outlet))
- Second daughter Daisy was conceived via IVF with a sperm donor (Daily Mail)
What’s unclear
- Current relationship status with Rocky Mangano — one 2024 report suggests a split, with no confirmation from either party (New Idea (Australian women’s magazine))
- Exact birth date — she was reported as 45 in 2023 and 47 in 2024, but no official birthday has been published (Nine; New Idea)
- Exact salary and net worth — no authoritative public figure exists
- Weight-loss method — lifestyle changes have been referenced in coverage, but no specific program has been verified
- Brother’s identity — Famous Birthdays lists Kiernan Box of Augie March, but major outlets have not corroborated it (Famous Birthdays (celebrity database))
- Several precise family dates rely on Wikipedia’s biography rather than primary statements (Wikipedia (open encyclopedia))
The balance: the confirmed list is short and stable; everything about her current private life — money, romance, health — remains reported rather than settled.
Fifi Box in her own words
Three moments capture how the story has been told — two from Fifi directly, one from the media cycle around her.
In February 2023, Fifi Box described her IVF journey as “brutal” — one word that made the reality of fertility treatment impossible to miss.
— Fifi Box, in comments covered by Nine (Australian broadcaster)
Welcoming Daisy, she said, felt like “a blow to my gut” — a raw way to describe a much-wanted pregnancy that arrived after a difficult path.
— Fifi Box, in an interview reported by 7NEWS (Australian news network)
“Fifi Box and Rocky Mangano may have split after months without being seen together.”
— 2024 report from New Idea (Australian women’s magazine)
The pattern: Fifi’s own words are specific and emotional, while the tabloid framing stays speculative — a useful test when scanning any new headline about her.
The verdict on Fifi Box
Fifi Box is exactly what her career says she is: a durable breakfast-radio host whose private life became public content. The credible biography is short, sourced, and mostly about two daughters — everything else is reported, not settled.
What is verified is the spine of the biography — Fiona Box, born in 1977, mother of two daughters and a mainstay of Fox FM breakfast radio. The confirmed facts are the ones repeated across every serious profile; the unverified ones are the ones that change with each tabloid cycle. For anyone following Australian media personalities, the practical lesson is clear: treat Fifi’s on-air statements as fact, tabloid reports as leads, and online net worth figures as guesses — or wait for the next breakfast show, where she has always been most direct.
How did Fifi Box lose weight?
No specific program or method has been confirmed in the sources reviewed for this guide. Coverage references lifestyle changes, but Fifi has not announced a verified plan through official channels. Until she addresses this directly on her show or social media, any reported weight-loss method remains speculative.
