Awhina had been paired with Adrian on the reality TV series, but it did not go well as they bickered for most of the time.
While Billy seemed to have a strong connection with Sierah during his season of MAFS, their relationship also fell apart.
"Obviously, we've got good chemistry and we do have a good connection. It's very natural with me and 'Fee',' Billy told Australian magazine, Woman's Day.
'Whenever we're together, we are laughing, we are smiling. We're as close as can be."
Billy admitted that trying to start a new relationship after MAFS was "really hard."
"Obviously I've seen Fee go through a lot and so it wasn't like, let's try and crack on. I don't think that's the right time to be doing anything like that,' he said.
As for Awhina, she had no issues with introducing Billy to her seven-year-old son Landon.
'I introduced Billy to Landon around November last year, when we were still filming,' she told the magazine.
'They get on so well, Landon loves Billy.'
The pair first set social media ablaze by posting pictures of each other getting cozy to their Instagram earlier this month.

The pair enjoyed a cosy date night at a restaurant in Perth and snapped some very romantic photos in the process.
Both in black, they posed for a mirror selfie that saw stunning Awhina looking forwards, while Billy placed his arm around her front and she held onto it.
She said: 'I'll keep this one 🤭' as the caption, sending the rumour mill into overdrive in the process.
Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel, as they enjoyed small plates and red wine while dining out together.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
The date night post comes after Awhina was spotted looking in a video looking glam at a horse racing event in Perth.
During the video Billy made an appearance and she was inundated with comments from curious fans.
Awhina captioned the video: "Our exes ate a plate of meat, but who really ate?"

MasterChef judge Andy Allen reveals the chilling thing he had to do for Jock Zonfrillo's wife when she called him at 4.30am to tell him he had died
Andy Allen has revealed the chilling moment he learned of co-star Jock Zonfrillo 's death - and the favour he had to do for his friend's wife just moments later. Jock, who was found dead aged 46 in a Melbourne hotel room in 2023, co-judged alongside Andy on MasterChef Australia from 2020 up until his death. On Tuesday, Andy shared on LiSTNR's A Life of Greatness with Sarah Grynberg that Jock's widow Lauren Fried called him 'in hysterics' just hours after his death and asked the food critic, 37, to cover Jock's press interviews. 'I get a call at about 4.30 in the morning from Lauren in hysterics and telling me what had happened, that Jock had passed away,' Andy recounted. 'And I was then like…what do you need? And she was like, "I don't know what to do. He's got a lot of press to do this morning."' 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. 'And I had a bit of press to do as well,' Andy continued. 'I was like, okay, I'll go do his press because she didn't want to go to ten… she needed to get a plan together and deal with it.' In another cruel twist of fate, Andy, whose birthday also falls on April 30 when Jock died, was forced to see the hotel Jock died in just hours earlier. Living in Carlton, the suburb Jock passed away in, Andy ordered a car to take him to his first interview, and the driver happened to go past the very hotel Jock's body was discovered in. 'Talk about just being rattled again. I was trying so hard to get in the zone and get done what I needed to do,' he said. It comes after Andy praised Lauren for candidly opening up about life after Jock's passing in her recently released book Till Death Do Us Part. Andy took to Instagram in May with a picture of himself holding the book up as he offered a simple six word review. 'In awe of you @laurenzonfrillo,' Andy wrote, while urging his 385,000 followers to pick up a copy of the memoir. Andy had also previously opened up about his final meeting with Jock, revealing he saw the late celebrity chef just a couple of hours before he died. In a sit-down interview with 7NEWS Spotlight in May, Andy recalled how he met Jock for lunch the day before his body was discovered. 'I've got hairs standing up already,' he told Liz Hayes as he looked back on his and Jock's final meal together, a moment he reflects back on a lot. Andy went on to reveal he had no idea there was anything amiss during his last meeting with the celebrity chef. 'That's the thing that hurts the most, because it was so sudden,' he told Liz with tears in his eyes. Elsewhere in the heartbreaking interview, Andy recounted the moment he was given the news of Jock's passing by Lauren. The chef admitted the grief of losing his close friend hit him 'straight away', a feeling that made him instantly ill. 'As soon as I got off the phone, I ran straight to the bathroom and I vomited everywhere,' he said. Andy also shared how he still grieves his friend daily. 'I always think of him. And I miss him, I miss him so much. It's crazy that that never goes,' he said. 'That being reminded of him wherever I go and no matter what I do, it is still as strong as the day that he passed two years ago.' Jock was found dead at the Zagame's House hotel in Carlton, near Melbourne's CBD, at around 2am on May 1, 2023. At the time, his wife Lauren was in Italy with their two children and had phoned Victoria Police to request a welfare check because he stopped answering her calls. Jock's death came just one day before the 2023 season of MasterChef was due to premiere, and it was delayed in arriving on air for a week 'out of respect'.

Shock as Channel Seven closes in several Australian cities
Channel Seven programming has been switched off in several cities in South Australia and New South Wales from Tuesday. WIN Television and Seven West Media failed to reach an agreement for Channel 7, 7mate and 7two to broadcast in the South Australian regional areas of Mt Gambier and Loxton, as well as Griffith in NSW. The free-to-air channel now says that 'Channel 7 programming is no longer available' for viewers in these regions. Network Seven holds exclusive rights to huge sporting events including Test cricket, the Big Bash and the AFL among several other shows. WIN Network CEO Andrew Lancaster said in a statement: 'WIN remains committed to serving our regional audiences with a strong local presence and programming.'

Channel Seven programming has been switched off in several cities in South Australia and New South Wales from Tuesday Residents will need to have a smart TV connected to the internet in order to access Seven's streaming services. WIIN also dropped Sky News coverage in the area last year. It comes after Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed last week that Seven had poached the executive producer from Nine's nightly bulletin, Tanya Weingarth. In an internal email, the network announced the one-time A Current Affair senior producer would be appointed executive producer of the broadcaster's 6pm Sydney news bulletin. Seven's acting news director Geoff Dunn welcomed the appointment in the internal email. 'Tanya started her career with Seven Queensland, so she really is coming home,' the message read. 'We will confirm her start date in due course,' he said. 'We're thrilled she is making the switch to Sydney's most dedicated news team.' Weingarth's career has spanned two decades in Australia after she started as a reporter at Seven News Queensland in 2003. A Nine spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the network wished Weingarth 'all the best for her next career move'. 'Tanya continues to fulfil her current role as EP, including tonight at 6pm,' he said. It was also recently revealed that Seven News bosses were secretly planning to sack some of their most popular and best-paid stars. Former top news boss Anthony De Ceglie had a plan to axe every Channel Seven personality earning more than $300,000 per year in favour of upcoming TV stars, according to The Australian's Media Diary column. It was planned that Spotlight chief correspondent Liam Bartlett, Seven News chief reporter Chris Reason and Seven News Sydney anchor Michael Usher were going to be quietly dismissed as part of a 'drastic cost-cutting operation'. Sunrise and Morning Show presenters Natalie Barr, Matt Shirvington, Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur were the only high-paid stars not at risk of losing their jobs. However, De Ceglie's proposal was met with 'immediate resistance from Seven's more seasoned executives'.

Throwback images of Miranda Kerr send fans into a frenzy with wild detail: 'She's a dream'
Throwback photos of Miranda Kerr have been causing quite a stir online, with fans spotting a glaring detail. The images, shared recently on Instagram by account WhenCanIWakeUp, showed the Australian model attending the launch event for Victoria's Secret fragrance Heavenly Enchanted in Los Angeles back in 2009. Miranda, then 26, showed off her svelte frame in a stunning Christian Dior knit dress that finished at her thigh. Her trim pins were on full display as she posed up a storm at the event, finishing the look with a pair of Miu Miu pumps. She wore her hair in a long, layered lob, with a gentle wave that fell over her collarbone. 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. Finishing the look, Miranda wore a light rose shade on her lips, choosing to go without accessories for the occasion. The throwback pics have sent fans wild online, with many fawning over Miranda's innate sense of style. Some were also quick to point out that Miranda, now 42, looks as though she has barely aged a day. 'And she still looks like that,' one fan offered, summing up the sentiment of many. Others were quick to fawn over the throwback images, with the likes of: 'I want her legs', and 'She's a dream'. It's not hyperbole either, with recent photos of Miranda showing her looking remarkably similar to the 2009 images. She looked absolutely stunning at the Met Gala back in May, in an eye-catching black Dior gown that featured exaggerated origami-style folds across the bodice and hip, paired with a wire mesh veil worn over her face. It comes after Miranda shared a gushing tribute to her husband Evan Spiegel, as the Snapchat billionaire founder celebrated his 35th birthday last month.

Rugged up against the chill, Miranda wore a chic navy blue overcoat with brass buttons, while Evan braved the cold in a black puffy jacket. Captioning the romantic photo, Miranda paid tribute to her husband of eight years. 'Happy birthday to my love! You are the most incredible partner and I'm inspired by you every day,' Miranda wrote. 'I'm so grateful for you and our beautiful family. Here's to many more adventures together.'

Others were quick to comment on the couple's palpable affection for each other, which was more than evident in the photo. 'Superstars with hearts of gold,' one follower wrote. 'Beautiful and inspiring couple,' a third swooned, while another summed up the sentiment of many with a simple 'beautiful couple'. Miranda and Evan tied the knot in 2017 in an intimate wedding - with just 45 friends and family in attendance. They share three sons together - Hart, six, Myles, five, and Pierre, nine months.

She then went on to become Australia's first Victoria's Secret Angel in 2007.
