While their relationship has taken a happy turn, the pair’s love story has been shrouded in controversy over the years since news of their affair made headlines in 2016.
Brownless and Lyon’s shock romance rocked the media and sporting worlds seven years ago.
At the time, Brownless was married to former AFL star Billy Brownless, who she had been with for 18 years since aged 17 and whom she shares four children with.
Lyon, 56, has previously been married to Melissa Lyon since 1993. The pair share three children and split in 2014.

To complicate matters, Lyon was best friends with Billy for 15 years prior to the 2016 affair, having worked together on the AFL Footy Show between 2009 and 2015.
However, time seems to have healed most wounds as Bronwless revealed to The Sydney Morning Herald earlier this year that she is on good speaking terms with her ex.

“Billy and I have always had a great friendship, which I am grateful for – and that was always the case,” she shared, adding the co-parents have spent Christmas together for the last few years.
“We are a happy, blended family, but you have to want to get to that point,” Brownless said.
“We have a family chat group on our phones and are across all the kids. With four of them, there is always someone who needs something.”

Billy Brownless opened up about his wife’s “very public” affair back in 2020 on an episode of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, revealing his wife left after she “fell out of love” with him.
“I didn’t expect it. You think she’ll come back and all that, but she didn’t, so that was a good kick in the guts,” he said on the reality series.
