Billy Brownless reveals he’s found love again with mother-of-three after truly bizarre ‘grand gesture’ to his glamorous female ‘friend’

Billy Brownless has confirmed his new relationship with a woman named Crystal.

The AFL great, 57, has revealed he has been dating the mother-of-three, who is from Geelong in Victoria, for the past two months.

‘We love our footy and racing,’ Billy told the Herald Sun on Thursday.

‘She doesn’t like to get in pictures but it’s going well and we’re going to the Geelong best and fairest on Thursday night.’

Crystal also joined Billy at the September Club after Saturday’s AFL grand final, where his ex-wife Nicky and her fiancé Garry Lyon were also in attendance.

Billy last stepped out with a female companion named Lizzie at the Australian Open in January.

He also appeared to have paid tribute to the brunette with a cartoon drawing on a sign at his new car wash business in Geelong.

The image features a woman – who has a resemblance to Lizzie – dressed in her trademark headband, plus a white crop top and tiny denim shorts.

‘(He’s) paying tribute to her with a caricature of her image over his new car wash,’ a source said. 

The source went on to describe the Amazing Race contender’s sexy image of his female friend as ‘grand gesture’ toward her. 

Prior to his appearance with Lizzie, the former footballer reportedly split from his girlfriend Justine after more than a year of dating.

Meanwhile, Billy’s ex-wife Nicky Brownless became engaged to AFL star Garry last year.

The news came seven years after their relationship began in scandalous circumstances, when Lyon, 56, went public with their romance, blindsiding Brownless.

Garry started seeing Brownless’s wife of 18 years just 12 months after they separated.

Garry and Nicky have moved on from that stressful chapter with Nicky previously speaking about their truly blissful relationship.

‘We’d planned to go and we did (have so much to celebrate). We’re really happy,’ she told the Herald Sun of their trip to New York after Garry proposed.

After years of intense scrutiny, Garry got down on one knee and proposed to Nicky during a recent trip to the Mornington Peninsula and presented her with a giant diamond ring.

A month after their relationship made headlines, Billy revealed how the relationship had impacted his family, saying ‘a good mate wouldn’t do that’.

He also sensationally confessed that Garry and Nicky’s secret relationship could have been going on for years.

‘I couldn’t believe it. I found out three or four months ago. I asked Garry and Nicky earlier on what is going on and they said they were just good friends.

‘That’s what hurts the most,’ he said on The AFL Footy Show at the time.

Billy shares four children with Nicky, daughters Lucy and Ruby and sons Oscar and Max.
