The couple are set to celebrate the anniversary with a romantic getaway, though where that may be is not known as of yet.
Billy, 58, and Crystle, 52, went public with their relationship back in October last year and it seems things are on the up for the couple.
The pair have been spotted out and about together on several occasions, notably attending Geelong's Best and Fairest awards at the end of last season, the Australian Open in January and his daughter Ruby's wedding, in March.
Ruby wed Josh Wallis, the brother of Western Bulldogs star Mitch, at a lavish ceremony in Noosa at the beginning of March, with Billy cutting an emotional figure during the ceremony.
Billy and Crystle's relationship blossomed shortly after he made headlines for a grand gesture involving another female friend.
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.

Brownless, one of Geelong's most popular players, made his name with 198 AFL games and 441 goals.
Billy was previously married to Nicky Brownless for 18 years before separating in late 2015.
Brownless' 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 Brownless' ex-wife, Nicky.
The public split caused deep hurt for Brownless, who spoke openly about his disappointment.

The Project's replacement 10 News+ proves a complete disaster for the network as ratings plunge to devastating low
Channel Ten 's new program 10 News+ has dived even further in the ratings after a disappointing first week. The hard-hitting current affairs series, hosted by former Channel Seven reporters Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace, launched last week a national average audience of just 291,000. Those figures have only gotten worse, dropping to 244,000 by Tuesday and sliding further still to 205,000 by mid week. Thursday's ratings keep skidding into oblivious, with just 159,000 national viewers tuning in. On Friday, the situation was decidedly grim, with only 152,000 viewers switching on the in-depth news program. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The current affairs program was slotted in to replace The Project after it was sensationally axed after 16 years. The early figures have shocked industry insiders, after the show heavily promoted its investigation into Australian mother Debbie Voulgaris, who has been jailed for 16 years after smuggling 7kg of drugs into Taiwan. Meanwhile, a very healthy 478,000 viewers tuned in last Friday to watch The Project's emotional finale. It's not good news for the program after KIIS FM radio host Kyle Sandilands, 54, slammed the first episode, claiming it was difficult to watch. 'Being a Channel Seven network employee, I still committed to watch 7News but I recorded 10News+ and went back to watch it,' he explained on his radio show on Tuesday. 'I know it was the first episode and it's tough to critique the first, but it was weird. It was like ABC TV had sex with Ron Burgundy and that's what came out.' Kyle said the news series didn't air 'one story I cared about.' 'They are nice folks at Channel 10, but they want to be this high and mighty. I wanted to give it a go, but I felt like it missed the mark,' he continued. His co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson defended the series and insisted viewers should 'give it a chance'. 'I bet if you listened to the first show of you and [me], it would have been sh*t. You need to give things a chance,' she said. The show also received mixed reviews from other viewers upon airing its debut episode last week, with many sharing their thoughts on X. Several compared 10 News+ to A Current Affair with one posting: 'This is like ACA. Going to people's houses to talk and them avoiding the cameras.' 'You replaced The Project with a Temu ACA not seeing @theprojecttv is incredibly depressing. 10news+ sucks!' complained another viewer. Someone else said: 'This is proper @Channel7 style commercial JUNK. It's like watching a cross between Fox News and Anchorman. Why the silly 'news' voices!?' One more person tuning in at home asked: 'Anyone else bored so far?' while someone else said, 'please no more long investigation reports it's 6pm'. 'Oh dear. I thought I would give 10 News Plus a go. I feel like we have regressed 20 years! An inauthentic painfully choreographed attempt at current affairs!' one said. 'Dribble. Won't last the year' a viewer said with another adding, 'Felt like it was a Comedy Company parody from the 80s. The fist pump at the end? Yikes.' Not everyone was so negative with one fan writing: 'Loving @10NewsPlus - strong launch story. Is this the new Schapelle Corby story we all need to know about. 10 news should be very proud.' The show's hosts, recently poached Seven journalists Hitchcock and Brace, opened the episode by telling the audience what they can expect from the hard-hitting program. 'Firstly, we're not here to tell you what to think, to scare or depress you' Hitchcock said. 'We will give you facts, information you can trust – the truth,' Brace added. 'Of course, we are a daily news program, so you won't miss the stories that matter,' Hitchcock went on. 'But we are also digging deeper with investigations and original reporting you won't see anywhere else,' Brace said.
