It comes weeks after they seemingly confirmed their relationship

Married at First Sight Australia’s Billy Belcher has been spotted kissing a mystery blonde woman in a nightclub in Bali, just weeks after he and co-star Awhina Rutene, seemingly confirmed their relationship, and now Awhina has shared a statement on their friendship.

In a video obtained by the Daily Mail Australia Billy can be seen kissing an unknown blonde woman in a nightclub in Bali. The video was released last night [13 July] and appeared to be taken just over the weekend.

Just last week Awhina and Billy had been holidaying in Bali together, with many fans presuming it was their first trip away as an official couple, as last month they shared a number of photos together on their Instagrams which appeared to confirm their romantic relationship.

However, just mere hours before the footage of Billy kissing the unknown woman surfaced, Awhina shared an Instagram post, where she clarified she and Billy are just good friends.

Awhina posted a video of the pair doing various outfit transitions and then captioned it: “Just two besties & our matching fits 🫶🏽 I know everyone wants to see a romance between us but we’re grateful to have built such a beautiful friendship from this experience 🥺.”

Many fans were confused to see the declaration of friendship from Awhina, as many pointed out the pair had seemed to hard launch their romantic relationship just weeks prior. One wrote: “this is straight up the mandela effect because i swear you hard launched a relationship ?? 😂.” While another said: “I’m sure i had seen a relationship was confirmed! 🥺.”

Back on 5th June, Awhina shared a number of pictures of the pair together in what appeared to be confirmation of their romantic relationship. In the pictures Billy can be seen with his arm wrapped around Awhina, and she’s captioned the post “I’ll keep this one 🤭” with Billy adding: “Me and @_awhinarutene can’t thank you all enough love you guys 🙏🏼❤️.”

So far Billy has not commented on the kissing video or his relationship with Awhina.

The pair met while married to two other people while appearing on the most recent season of Married at First Sight Australia. Billy was married to Sierah and Awhina to Adrian, however, neither marriage lasted, and since the show ended the pair have grown close.

But despite what fans may want it appears it’s strictly platonic between these two.
