Billy Brownless and his girlfriend Crystle Fleur continue to go strong and have celebrated the beginning of 2025 as a couple.
The AFL great, 57, has been in a relationship with the businesswoman, who owns a Geelong-based equestrian company called Erinvale Thoroughbreds, since last year.
On New Year’s Day, Crystle posted a heartwarming photo of the lovebirds cuddling up while watching the New Year’s Eve fireworks together.
‘Receiving the new year!’ the mother of five captioned her post.
A day earlier, Billy shared a photo enjoying a beer while Crystle had a glass of champagne at the Wharf Shed in Geelong.
Surrounded by a group of friends at a dining table, the former Geelong player wished his friends and fans a happy new year.

Billy has been dating Crystle for the past five months.
They previously stepped out together in October last year at the Palladium at Crown to attend the Carji Greeves Medal to celebrate Geelong’s best and fairest.
Billy looked like the cat that got the cream as he wrapped his arm around the blonde beauty and they posed on the red carpet.
He cut a dapper figure that night in a custom-made navy blue designer suit, while Crystle accessorized him perfectly in a light blue strapless dress.
Meanwhile, Crystle also shared some photos of her living in Melbourne with her AFL star boyfriend.
One photo captured Billy toasting the camera with a glass of champagne as he put on a loved-up display with his beautiful partner.

Tellingly, Crystle set her relationship status to “in a relationship” on Facebook.
‘We love our football and racing. He doesn’t like being in photographs, but everything is fine,” Billy told the Herald Sun in October 2024.
Crystle also joined Billy at the September Club after the AFL Grand Final, where his ex-wife Nicky and her fiancé Garry Lyon were also in attendance.
Billy last dated a partner called Lizzie at the Australian Open in January.
He also appeared to have paid tribute to the brunette with a caricature drawn on a sign at his new car wash business in Geelong.
The image shows a woman, who looks like Lizzie, wearing her trademark headband, as well as a white crop top and tiny jean 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 her friend’s The Amazing Race contender’s sexy image as a “great gesture” toward her.

Billy previously hung out with Crystle in October at the Palladium at Crown to attend the Carji Greeves Medal to celebrate Geelong’s best and fairest.
Before 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 got engaged to fellow AFL star Garry in 2023.
The news came seven years after their relationship began in scandalous circumstances, when Garry, 57, went public with their romance, shocking Brownless.
He started dating Billy’s wife of 18 years just 12 months after they split.
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.
Billy shares four children with Nicky, daughters Lucy and Ruby and sons Oscar and Max.
