Awhina had been paired with Adrian on the reality TV series, but it did not go well as they bickered for most of the time.

While Billy seemed to have a strong connection with Sierah during his season of MAFS, their relationship also fell apart.

"Obviously, we’ve got good chemistry and we do have a good connection. It’s very natural with me and ‘Fee’,” Billy told Australian magazine, Woman's Day.

“Whenever we’re together, we are laughing, we are smiling. We’re as close as can be."

Billy admitted that trying to start a new relationship after MAFS was "really hard."

"Obviously I’ve seen Fee go through a lot and so it wasn’t like, let’s try and crack on. I don’t think that’s the right time to be doing anything like that,” he said.

 

As for Awhina, she had no issues with introducing Billy to her seven-year-old son Landon.

“I introduced Billy to Landon around November last year, when we were still filming,” she told the magazine.

“They get on so well, Landon loves Billy.” 

The pair first set social media ablaze by posting pictures of each other getting cozy to their Instagram earlier this month.

The pair enjoyed a cosy date night at a restaurant in Perth and snapped some very romantic photos in the process. 

Both in black, they posed for a mirror selfie that saw stunning Awhina looking forwards, while Billy placed his arm around her front and she held onto it. 

She said: “I’ll keep this one 🤭” as the caption, sending the rumour mill into overdrive in the process. 

Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel, as they enjoyed small plates and red wine while dining out together. 

The date night post comes after Awhina was spotted looking in a video looking glam at a horse racing event in Perth.

During the video Billy made an appearance and she was inundated with comments from curious fans.

Awhina captioned the video: "Our exes ate a plate of meat, but who really ate?"
