“Zak and I broke up for good, for good,” Holly—mom kids Rainbow, 12, and Forest, 7, with ex-husband Pasquale Rotella—explained on her and Bridget Marquardt’s Girls Next Level podcast in March. “I know we’ve been very off and on, you guys are probably like, ‘You guys broke up last spring, right?’”
She revealed that their romance—which first sparked rumors in 2019 after Holly visited Zak at his Haunted Museum in Chicago—was on-again-off-again for its entire span.
“We were together but very off and on over the past year—very, very much,” she said. “So we broke up, and I mean unfollowed on social media, which we’ve never unfollowed each other before through all the breakups.”

But this isn’t the first time Holly has alleged cheating in her relationship. In fact, she wrote in a May 10 TikTok video, “My fantasy ‘I’m bored’ scenario would be all the girls my most recent ex cheated with just filling me in. I need the lore.”
Although she didn’t elaborate further, she did express her gratitude to Trisha Paytas in her comments, who wrote, “I couldn’t imagine cheating on literally the perfect woman.”
Holly responded with three heart emojis, “Thank you Trish.”
