While the couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key until now, insiders claim they are 'absolutely smitten' and looking forward to spending even more time together.
Jono's new romance comes after he was previously linked to Perth-based fashion designer Nilofar Khirzad, following his high-profile split from Simone Holtznagel.
Jono and Simone dated for almost two years after meeting through Sydney's social scene and share a daughter Gia, one, together.
The trainer, who owns the Acero fitness brand, remains one of Australia's most in-demand celebrity trainers, having worked with the likes of Rebel Wilson, Rita Ora and Michael Clarke.
Castano abruptly ended his relationship with designer Nilofar in January after less than six months of dating.
'They've been over for weeks,' an inside told Daily Mail Australia at the time. 'Their relationship just ran its course.'
The genetically blessed couple have since unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Emily meanwhile rose to fame on Stan's hit dating series Love Triangle, where she was initially matched with Sam Fisher.

Their relationship quickly soured after it was revealed that Sam had been secretly communicating with an ex-girlfriend named Hannah during filming, leading to a dramatic fallout on the show.
Emily later spoke out about the betrayal, stating, 'The lies were so detailed, you couldn't even write this.
