In one post, he opened up about co-parenting with his ex-partner.
'Even though we aren't a complete family anymore, it's important to still show each other respect in front of them & be there for our babies on big occasions,' he captioned one picture showing him as he posed with his two daughters and their mother Heidi.
'The road to this place has been a very tough one for everyone, separating and adjusting is never easy, but it's a nice feeling when you can be there together and support each other for the children especially around special days.
'I set out to be as transparent as possible with the Dad content and talk about all the hurdles and issues that have had to be dealt with along the way,' he confessed.
'I genuinely just want to share experience & hopefully help other people in similar positions along the way.'
Margaglione also endorsed his ex's new business venture.
'Heidi has just set up her own skin care business and I can confidently say she's the best of the best at it, so please go show her some support.'
Katona, a mother of five, split from her fiancé, and partner of six years Ryan Mahoney last November.
It was reported that the 36-year-old moved out of their home after 'a breach of trust.'
Announcing the split in her OK! Magazine column last November, she wrote:
'Last week I spoke about how Ryan and I were having a tough time and now he has moved out of the house.
'We are no longer together and It's been a really tough week - I never in a million years thought this would happen. Without going into too much detail, there has been a breach of trust between us.

'I don't know if we'll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much. I feel like everything has heaped on recently and it's so much to deal with, I am really struggling,' she continued.
'But I know I can get through it no matter what happens, I've been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens.'
The Atomic Kitten singer was previously married to Westlife star Brian McFadden.
The couple tied the knot in Meath in 2002 before settling down in Portmarnock where they lived until they split in 2004.
They welcomed two daughters, Molly (21) and Lilly-Sue (20), during their relationship.
Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden were married from 2002 to 2006
After that she was married to Mark Croft from 2007 to 2010.
Their relationship was fraught with allegations of cheating from both parties.
The couple had two children together, Heidi (16) and Max (14), and eventually split after Katona cheated on her hubby with ex-Royal Marine, Kevin Green.
The pair went on to have a short-lived romance before Katona met her third husband, George Kay, with whom she shared one daughter, Dylan-Jorge (11).
Katona and Kay wed in 2014, and divorced three years later in 2017. The 39-year-old former professional rugby league player died suddenly in 2019 after biting into a ball of cocaine and having a seizure.

Maura Higgins announces huge new role as she trades villa for a castle
Maura Higgins has announced that she'll be trading the villa for the castle — as she is going to be on the US version of The Traitors. The Longford Love Island alum was last seen on our screens in the US version of Love Island, where she was hosting Aftersun. However, earlier this week, it was announced that she was leaving the show as well as being the social media manager, with Love Island Australia host Sophie Monk reportedly taking over. While Maura's leaving the show came as a surprise, it appears that she won't be leaving our screens — with her being announced as a participant on the US celebrity version of The Traitors. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Peacock (@peacock) Joining celebs such as Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna, RuPaul's Drag Race star Monét X Change and Travis and Jason Kelce's mum Donna 'Momma' Kelce, Maura will be joining the popular reality game show, which sees contestants divvied up into two groups — the 'faithful' and the 'traitors' with deception being the name of the game. Sharing the good news on her Instagram story, Maura simply wrote 'see you at the round table,' while the Traitors' theme song played in the background. Maura was replaced as the host of Love Island USA: Aftersun and as the social media presenter for the US version of the dating show that gave her her big break, with Sophie Monk, who hosts the Aussie version of the show, reported to take her place. Maura Higgins has announced that she'll be trading the villa for the castle — as she is going to be on the US version of The Traitors. Pic: Maura Higgins/Instagram The report of the lineup change came due to 'scheduling conflicts' with many suspecting that Maura was going on the Traitors USA — although nothing was confirmed at that time. 'Maura wasn't able to commit to hosting Aftersun this season due to other work commitments, but she will be back on screen in some capacity later in the run,' a source told the Sun at the time. Love Island USA's official Instagram account shared a snap of Sophie as they welcomed her to the 'Aftersun family.' Maura left Love Island USA as the host of Aftersun, with people who believed that she was going to the Traitors castle. Pic: Scott Garfitt/BAFTA via Getty Images It seems there is no bad blood between the two presenters, with Maura herself commenting: 'Yess Queen!'. Maura may also have another islander coming for her job, as the latest addition to Love Island UK is being branded the next Maura Higgins. Panto star Megan Forte Clarke has signed up for the new series, starting on Monday, and of course, comparisons are already being made. A TV source said: 'Megan is a gorgeous girl, she's funny, and right now, couldn't be unluckier in love, making her the perfect Islander. Comparisons to Maura are inevitable, and if anything, Megan will see it as a huge compliment.

But this wasn't always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir On March 31 of the year, Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer's archives recall as a 'shopping frenzy.' The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at 'pre-war prices' was one of the factors cited for the buzz. During the chaos a window was forced in and Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience. Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn't caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe: 118 in the Republic of Ireland, 15 in Northern Ireland Five
