AFL personality Billy Brownless is reportedly preparing to move in with his girlfriend, Crystle Fleur, after nearly two years of dating. The couple is said to be establishing a home together in Melbourne's inner south, according to the Herald Sun.
This development signifies a major milestone for Brownless and Fleur, who publicly confirmed their relationship in 2024. The move comes despite recent speculation suggesting a cooling of their romance, fueled by reports of the couple traveling separately. However, their relationship appears to have strengthened.
Since beginning his relationship with Fleur, Brownless has reportedly embraced a lifestyle that includes overseas travel, theater, winery visits, and fine dining. His colleagues at Triple M have reportedly teased him about these evolving tastes. Fleur, an owner of Erinvale Thoroughbreds and a mother of three, has shared highlights of their shared experiences on social media. In celebration of their first anniversary in 2025, she posted a tribute to their travels.
Brownless has previously spoken about how Fleur has broadened his perspectives, introducing him to new experiences ranging from Mediterranean cruises to road trips across Australia. He told Page 13 that Fleur "has really opened up my eyes to a whole new world out there."
The relationship marks a new chapter for Brownless, following the highly publicized dissolution of his marriage to Nicky Brownless in 2012 after nearly two decades. The aftermath of their split gained significant media attention when Nicky later began a relationship with Brownless' former Geelong teammate and close friend, Garry Lyon. This development reportedly ended the friendship between Brownless and Lyon, leading to years of public scrutiny. Brownless and Nicky Brownless share four children, and Brownless and Lyon have since reconciled both personally and professionally.
