The pair have been spotted looking quite cosy!

After they were left heartbroken when their partners went behind their backs on Married At First Sight, it seems Billy Belcher and Awhina Rutene have had the last laugh, with the couple looking very loved-up as they stepped out for what appeared to be a very cosy date together in Perth in late February.

The couple, who are both based in Western Australia and had struck up a close friendship during the marriage experiment, were seen holding hands as they took a stroll along the beach before cuddling up on a grassy knoll to watch the sunset with ice cream.

Billy, 31, was even seen gifting Awhina, 30, a bouquet of roses, which we hear was a cheeky dig at her onscreen husband Adrian Araouzou, who gave Awhina just one red rose on Valentine’s Day.

“They looked really happy and comfortable,” one onlooker told Woman’s Day. “Their chemistry was insane.”

The bombshell sighting comes after Billy and his “wife” Sierah Swepstone wrote “leave” in Sunday night’s commitment ceremony amid rumours Sierah, 31, and Awhina’s husband Adrian, 30, had been secretly meeting up behind their partners’ backs.

The pair were even captured playing footsies underneath the table at a dinner party earlier this month, however both denied anything went further.

Billy wasn’t totally innocent either, with the cheeky British-born lad evoking the wrath of the relationship experts on Sunday after it was revealed he had asked Adrian if he wanted to do a “wife swap”, something Billy assured was said in jest.

Since what appeared to be one of their first dates, the pair has been seen at events together, taking to Instagram with a picture of the pair all dressed up with the caption, ‘Who really ate?’

The pair is yet to confirm the relationship, however, Awhina shared with Yahoo Lifestyle in February comments about their growing friendship.

“I will say one thing, Billy and I have actually got a really beautiful friendship. He’s a great guy.”

When Woman’s Day spoke to Awhina earlier this month, she may have hinted at having some complicated feelings for Billy, telling us, “Billy would be a great catch for anyone.” She added, “His future wife would be a very lucky lady.”

Adrian may not be too pleased with seeing these images, however – given he’s chosen, despite their many troubles, to try and work things out on the experiment.
