Billy Brownless reveals how his kids reacted to shocking nude photo of him on holiday - and who's to blame for taking it
Billy Brownless has revealed that his kids were left horrified by viral skinny dipping stunt, with one of his children, Ruby, even going as far as calling him a 'd***head'. The former Geelong star has been celebrating his first anniversary with his girlfriend Crystle Fleur over the past few weeks, with the pair heading off on a romantic tour of Western Australia. While the pair have been keeping their fans updated on the trip, posting some cute pictures of the getaway on social media, Brownless shocked fans last week, publishing a picture of himself swimming naked in a pool at the Cable Beach Club in Broome. With social media going into meltdown over the lewd image, Brownless, a father-of-four, revealed that it was his girlfriend, Fleur, who had instigated the photo opportunity while he was enjoying a dip in the pool. 'Guess who took the photo — Crystle,' the 58-year-old explained to The Herald Sun. She thought it was fun. I was just paddling around in the pool, splashing around. She said: 'I've got a shot here for you. Darl, we'll get rid of those shorts and we'll just have a bit of fun with it'. 'And she thought it would be funny to go nude. She knows how to post on my account, ' he added. Fleur then published the snap on Brownless' Instagram account, which has over 130,000 followers. The much-loved footy larrikin, who now works on the radio, poked fun at himself in the caption on the post. 'Some call it 'Skinny Dipping', I like to call it 'Fat Dipping',' Brownless wrote. Brownless, who presents Triple M's Rush Hour alongside James Brayshaw, attracted plenty of comments for the shock picture. One included a message from Chris Judd's wife, Bec, who had been on holiday with a group of friends and family at the same location. 'Hahahaha. Nice seeing you yesterday. Glad you had some clothes on,' she joked. Brayshaw's wife, Lisa, replied to Bec's comment, writing: 'I just said to James… oh no, I think Bec is there on holidays. I hope she's left by now because you can't unsee this if it's in your resort pool.' But he revealed that his beau, Fleur, had been the instigator in the lewd photo, adding that she had published the snap on his Instagram Dale Thomas, who now works on Channel 7's footy coverage, joked: 'Reverse angle is a Nirvana album cover,' in reference to the band's breakthrough album cover Nevermind. Brownless' daughter, Ruby, was less impressed by the naked image, writing in the comments: 'wow, it gets worse.' And her dad, a two-time leading goalkicker with Geelong, lifted the lid on how his children all reacted to the image. 'They're the ones who aren't so happy,' he told The Herald Sun. 'Ruby is the most outspoken, she rang me. She said: 'Dad, you're a d***head'.' However, Brownless shrugged off his kids' embarrassment, adding: '120,000 views, the punters loved it.' Brownless had previously published a video of himself hilariously doing 'some laps' in the pool, this time while wearing his swimming trunks. However, he sent his followers into meltdown, after the video panned out, showing that the pool was only three metres long! 'While in Broome I thought I would get back into the Pool and cut some laps!' he wrote on the video, as he bobbed his way from one side to the other. While Brownless copped a few sledges, his partner, Fleur, took to Instagram to fire a joke back. 'Good lord @crystle15 stop him,' one fan begged in the comments of the nude photo. Fleur replied: ''He's out of control. I'm running.' The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary this month, revealing that they would be going on their 'biggest adventure yet'. 'Happy 1st anniversary to this amazing man!' Fleur, who owns a Geelong-based equestrian company called Erinvale Thoroughbreds, said. '365 days of love, laughter and amazing adventures as we fly off to start the biggest one yet!' she added. The pair have since published multiple snaps of their romantic getaway, having spent time in Ningaloo, Hamersley Gorge and a trip up to Broome. Brownless, meanwhile, has left some fans scratching their heads online, asking his followers: 'If you knew I'd never ask again, what truth would you finally tell me?' He has also opened up about his relationship with Fleur. While the pair appear to love to have a bit of banter with their followers online, Brownless said to The Herald Sun: 'We love our footy and racing. 'She doesn't like to get in pictures, but it's going well.'

Billy Brownless goes viral with X-rated ‘skinny dipping' photo
Billy Brownless has left his family horrified after sharing a photo of himself skinny dipping on social media. The Geelong Cats icon is living his best life and looking very loved up with his partner Crystle Fleur, with the couple enjoying a mid-year getaway last week to Western Australia. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Brownless shared some happy snaps of the holiday around WA, and the footy larrikin saved some of his best, or worst work for a swimming pool at Broome. 'Welcome to Bill's fitness regime,' he said in a tongue-in-cheek clip uploaded to social media. 'Today I'm going to swim 50 laps of this pool. Righto, here we go.' Cue the camera panning to show a pool that could not have been more than three metres long, as Brownless pushed off for a 'lap'. He wrote on Instagram: 'While in Broome I thought I would get back into the pool and cut some laps!!!' In a separate post, Brownless shared a photo of him relaxing in the pool with his obvious lack of swimwear leaving little to the imagination — thankfully he was facing away from the camera. 'Some call it 'Skinny Dipping' I like to call it 'Fat Dipping' #fatstraveldiary,' he wrote. Safe to say the X-rated post was a bit of a surprise to Brownless' friends and family. Former AFL star Dale Thomas joked: 'Reverse angle is a Nirvana album cover.' Bec Judd commented: 'Ahahaha. Nice seeing you yesterday. Glad you had some clothes on.' Brownless' horrified daughter Ruby commented: 'Wow it gets worse', after responding to his swimming pool post with 'Honestly no words'. His partner Crystal captioned one of her posts: 'Relaxing by the pool @cablebeachclub the most perfect place to relax until I looked in the pool @billybrownless.' Brownless, known as the king of Geelong during his playing days, told the Herald Sun his partner had uploaded the viral skinny dip photo to his Instagram account without his knowledge. 'She thought it was fun. I was just paddling around in the pool, splashing around,' he said. 'She said I've got a shot here for you. Darl, we'll get rid of those shorts and we'll just have a bit of fun with it. And she thought it would be funny to go nude. She knows how to post off my account. 120,000 views, the punters loved it.' The 58-year-old said his kids let him know they were less than impressed. 'They're the ones who aren't so happy,'' Brownless said. 'Ruby is the most outspoken, she rang me. She said 'dad, you're a dickhead'.' Earlier this month, Brownless and Fleur celebrated their one-year anniversary, with Fleur posting: 'Happy 1st anniversary to this amazing man!' Brownless and Fleur went public with their relationship in October last year at Geelong's best and fairest night. The Cats Hall of Famer was seen arm in arm with the 52-year-old mum of three with the two being sighted at a plethora of events since. The pair had reportedly been going strong for two months before their first public outing. The happy couple were spotted after the AFL Grand Final speaking with his ex-wife Nicky Brownless and former best mate and Melbourne great Garry Lyon. Brownless and Nicky were together for 18 years before splitting in 2014. In 2016 Lyon's friendship with Brownless fell apart after he went public with Nicky. A month after their relationship made headlines, Billy revealed how the relationship had impacted his family, saying 'a good mate wouldn't do that'. 'I couldn't believe it. I found out three or four months ago. I asked Garry and Nicky earlier on what is going on and they said they were just good friends,' he said on the Footy Show at the time. 'That's what hurts the most.' The former best mates have since reunited with the duo spending several Christmases together as an extended family. Lyon surprised Nicky in December, 2023 when he proposed and she said yes. Nicky clearly wasn't expecting the move, announcing the news of the engagement on her Instagram account, posting a black and white photo of the pair embracing with the caption 'the best surprise'. The duo, who have been together for eight years, took off to New York shortly after the proposal.
