The former Melbourne captain, 60, controversially went public with finace Nicky, who is the ex-wife of his former AFL Footy Show co-host Billy, in 2016
‘I love you,’ Lucy captioned a golden hour selfie taken with the bride to be.
Their mother Nicky Brownless, 58, looked positively radiant in golden hour light as she posed for a photo solo.
Nicky and her ex-husband’s former close friend AFL star Garry Lyon are engaged to be married.
Garry controversially went public with Nicky, who is the ex-wife of his former AFL Footy Show co-host Billy, in 2016.
Garry blindsided his best mate by starting a relationship with his wife of 18 years, just 12 months after they separated.
The bombshell falling-out between the former best mates stunned the footy world after Lyon split from his wife Melissa, ran off with Nicky and later moved in with her and Billy’s four children, Lucy, Ruby, Oscar and Max.
The Brownlesses’ 18-year marriage didn’t survive the stunning turn of events and the Cats legend has given several raw accounts of how badly Lyon’s actions hurt him, at one stage confessing he had ‘a bit of hatred’ for the Melbourne Demons icon.
A month after the shattering news broke, he bluntly said ‘a good mate wouldn’t do that’ before sensationally confessing he believed Garry and Nicky’s secret relationship could have been going on for years.
