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 football and racing,” Billy told the newspaper Herald Sun on Thursday.
“She doesn’t like having her picture taken but she’s doing 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, which was also attended by his ex-wife Nicky and her fiancé Garry Lyon.
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 shows a woman – who looks a lot like Lizzie – wearing her signature headband, plus a white crop top and tiny denim shorts.

“(He) pays tribute to her with a caricature of her image on his new car wash,” the source said.
The source then described the Amazing Race contestant’s sexy image of his girlfriend as a “grand gesture” towards her.
Prior to his appearance with Lizzie, the former footballer is said to have split from his girlfriend Justine after more than a year of dating.
Meanwhile, Billy’s ex-wife Nicky Brownless got engaged to AFL star Garry last year.
The news came seven years after their relationship began under scandalous circumstances, when Lyon, 56, went public with their romance and blindsided Brownless.
Garry started seeing Brownless’ wife of 18 years just 12 months after they split.
Garry and Nicky have left that stressful chapter where Nicky previously spoke about their truly blissful relationship.
“We planned to go and we did (we have so much to celebrate). We are very happy,” she told the Herald Sun of their trip to New York after Garry proposed.

After years of intense research, 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 the impact the relationship had had on his family, saying ‘a good friend wouldn’t do that’.
He also sensationally confessed that Garry and Nicky’s secret relationship could have lasted for years.
‘I couldn’t believe it. I found out three or four months ago. I asked Garry and Nicky earlier what was going on and they said they were just good friends.
“That 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.
