Billy Brownless stuns girlfriend with surprise relationship question on anniversary getaway

Billy Brownless is continuing to enjoy his anniversary with girlfriend Crystle Fleur with a romantic getaway, despite trolls trying to rain on their parade.

The AFL great, 58, and his blonde bombshell partner, 52, have been enjoying a romantic West Australian getaway in Monkey Mia.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the popular presenter shared a series of images from the trip, including one photo that showed the happy couple beaming as they soaked up the coastal surrounds.

Another showed Billy sitting in the couple’s hotel room, sporting a mock-serious expression while holding up a card from a card game.

Possibly posing a question to Crystle, Billy’s card read: ‘If I came with a warning label, what would it be?’

Other images showed sunsets and some of the fauna that Billy and Crystle had encountered along the way. 

‘Day 1 and 2 of The Big Adventure!! 9 hr drive from Perth to Monkey Mia (I survived) dodged goats, kangaroos and emus,’ Billy captioned his holiday snaps.

‘Swam with Dolphins, turtles and Dugongs (ugly) and finished the evening with the relationship question, Crystle should have asked 12 months ago!

The post was met with a flurry of comments from fans and followers, with many gushing over the obviously happy couple.

‘Looking so happy, I’m so glad you found love. Beautiful couple,’ one swooned, while another chimed in with a similar: ‘Congratulations Billy and Crystle. What a great couple. Have a couple of frothies.’

Others took the chance to throw some subtle shade at Billy for his photography skills.

‘Stick to jokes Bill, photography not a strong point,’ one quipped, while another offered: ‘You take some of the photos with a potato, fat ? Come on.’ 

It comes as trolls took aim at Billy as he marked his one-year anniversary with Crystle this week.

One photo showed Billy asking Crystal, via a game card: ‘If I came with a warning label, what would it be?’

Crystle took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate their milestone anniversary with a sweet picture of the couple, which has received nearly 7,000 likes.

However, many trolls poured into the comments section of the post to share their thoughts on the pairing, with some saying Billy is ‘punching above his weight’ with the mum-of-three, and that she’s out of his league.

‘Good to see you happy Bill, but still punching way above,’ one person wrote.

Another chimed in: ‘Punching above your weight there, big man…’    

The romance between Billy and Crystle first became public knowledge in October last year.

Since then, he and Crystle have been inseparable, seen enjoying outings across Melbourne.

In February, the pair were spotted strolling hand-in-hand through South Yarra after a casual café date.

A mother-of-three, Crystle’s low-key style and successful career have captured Brownless’ heart.

One of Geelong’s most popular players, Billy made his name with 198 AFL games and 441 goals.

Post-retirement, he transitioned into a media career, starring on The Footy Show and radio’s The Rush Hour.

Billy’s private life hit the headlines in 2016 when his friendship with Garry Lyon was rocked by scandal.

The former best mates fell out after it emerged Lyon was in a relationship with his ex-wife, Nicky.

The public split caused deep hurt for Billy, who spoke openly about his disappointment.

However, in recent years, the pair have moved towards reconciliation.

The families spent Christmas together and, in January, Billy and Garry appeared on air together for the first time in years.

In a further sign of healing, Lyon attended the wedding of Billy’s daughter, Ruby, in Noosa in March.
