Married At First Sight groom Billy Belcher, 32, was spotted soaking up some sun in Perth this week amid rumours he has struck up a romance with bride Awhina Rutene The mother-of-one and tradie are both based in the city and have recently been spotted spending time together ahead of the reunionThe pair looked very friendly as they headed out for a double date with co-stars Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels at Perth bar Claremont Hotel last Saturday. Billy, who split with bride Sierah Swepstone weeks before Final Vows, swung his arm over Awhina’s shoulder as they cuddled up on their stroll to the pub. Awhina, who ‘married’ Adrian Araouzou on the show, held onto Billy’s hand during the intimate moment. They appeared very relaxed in each other’s company—again inspiring chatter as to whether they have undergone a ‘couple swap’.While Awhina and Billy have previously insisted their relationship is strictly platonic, an insider has revealed their respective partners were less than impressed when they were caught on camera sharing an intimate outing in Perth in February.’As soon as Adrian saw those photos, he was raging,’ a source close to the couple told Daily Mail Australia.’He sent Awhina a nasty text message and blamed her for ruining their TV relationship—just weeks after he was spotted with another girl. Not cool.’Sierah, meanwhile, is said to be blindsided by the set of images, particularly given Billy never made such romantic gestures during their marriage experiment. Now, Billy has been seen getting in some quality time with a male friend as he opted for a casual look on his day out The UK-born reality TV star slipped into a black T-shirt and three-quarter length jean shorts’She found the whole situation laughable. Billy never wanted to buy her flowers or take her out for ice cream, so this is pretty rich,’ the source added.When approached by Daily Mail Australia, Awhina clarified she and Billy have built a friendship since filming wrapped but denied anything romantic was going on.’Billy’s a WA guy. We have built a friendship. He happened to be at my birthday, but it is a purely platonic friendship,’ she explained.When asked if Adrian had anything to be worried about, Awhina laughed: ‘Adrian has nothing to worry about.’As for where things stand with Adrian, Awhina played coy but admitted their relationship had been challenging.’I think viewers are finally seeing what our relationship truly looked like. Don’t get me wrong, Adrian and I had good moments. When we connected, we really connected,’ she said.’But those good moments always came at the cost of my needs not being met or me brushing things under the rug. And that’s not sustainable long-term.’She also confirmed Adrian, who is based in Sydney, was not at her birthday party, revealing he instead attended groom Paul Antoine’s celebrations. Hiding his eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses as he pulled his cap down low over his head, Billy completed his ensemble with a pair of white sneakers Awhina and Billy continued to spark chatter about the nature of their relationship post-MAFS early last week’He was in Perth the weekend of my birthday. But it’s in our contract—I can’t really take photos with my ‘husband’ if we’re still together,’ Awhina added.However, Awhina and Adrian’s relationship hit the rocks this past week when their decision to meet their back-up dates unveiled the harsh reality of their future together. ‘I do care for Awhina. I spent 12 weeks with her. It’s one of the best experiences of my life. I think when we’re good, it’s good. I think it’s great. We have fun,’ he said.’But do I care enough to pack up bags tomorrow and leave [Sydney for Perth]? No.’
