Despite having dated a long list of handsome men, the model and actress is currently making the most of the single life with her daughter Aleeia in tow.

When asked on the Kyle and Jackie O Show in July 2022 if she had a “lover”, the model replied “No, absolutely not”.

“This time in my life is very much about me, it’s about taking care of me and just doing what I need to do,” she continued.

Her comments came after rumours that she had quietly split from ex Aidan Walsh in late 2021, which she seemed to confirm when they unfollowed each other online.

Now we know for sure that the former Home And Away and Neighbours star is single, is she looking to get back into the dating game?

“I think a lot of people go through that at some period or maybe multiple periods in their lives where they say ‘okay, just stop with everything else, let’s look internally or let’s just focus on myself’,” Jodi told Jackie O.

“There’s a time in your life for different certain things and this time is for me.”

She also joked that guys don’t send her X-rated DMs on Instagram, though she’s heard of it happening to some of her girlfriends.

Luckily Jodi has escaped that particular online harassment – “I’m very happy about that” – but her love life hasn’t always been simple.

Her most notable romance was with ex-husband Braith Anasta, who just so happens to be Aleeia’s father,

Jodi met the former Sydney Roosters NRL captain and fell in love quickly, the pair announcing their engagement in 2011.

They were married the following year and shared the happy news that they were expecting their first child together in late 2013, with Aleeia arriving in March 2014.

Sadly the relationship didn’t last and Jodi and Braith decided to go their separate ways just over a year after their daughter was born.

They announced their separation in late 2015 and finalised their divorce in 2017.

Though their romance didn’t work out, the exes are devoted to co-parenting and have worked hard to make Aleeia’s childhood one free from drama.

“Braith and I, we work together and it’s always been like that, and we make the best out of the situation at hand,” Jodi previously told Nine Honey.

“It can be tough. I’ve spoken to a lot of single mums about it and how it can be really tough at times, but you figure it out. It’s like everything in life.

“You do the best that you can, be the best mum you can, and as long as you’ve got support you can make it work.”

Before Braith, Jodi dated Chris Burkhardt for two years before his sad death from leukemia in 2007. She later dated media heir Ryan Stokes, though they split in 2009.

As for life after her divorce, Jodi took things slow and didn’t debut another public relationship until 2020, when she was with investment banker Sebastian Blackler.

They had an on-and-off relationship until 2021, when it’s understood they split and police reportedly took out matching AVOs against the two.

Months later, Jodi was spotted with new boyfriend Aidan Walsh but the pair were reported to have called it quits in late 2021.

Now the single mum is focusing on taking care of herself and her daughter, as well as her big return to Neighbours for the show’s massive finale.
