Chapter 1: What led to the speculation about Billy and Athena's relationship?
Hello and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with me, Joshua Fox, and firstly, to all of you, my dearest friends, apologies for the lack of podcast of late. In my sad post-Stefano split, I booked a spontaneous trip to Europe to go and see my mum, and then just left the country and ignored everything else in my life for a couple of weeks, but...
I'm back now and the Married at First Sight drama is also back with one big question lingering on the lips of all reality television fans this week. Did Billy cheat on Athena in Bali? Before I answer that question and cover that current controversy, let me briefly recap things.
As we all know, at the start of June, Billy and Athena seemingly had launched a relationship with an Instagram post, cuddling up together on a date, being all romantic and writing a caption that read, I'll keep this one alongside a cheeky face emoji. And that post left no space for speculation really and may as well have been a marriage proposal for how literally it was.
In the weeks that then followed, despite neither of them officially confirming a relationship or labelling whatever was happening between them, they continued sharing cosy posts and pictures and TikTok dances together and it seemed that something beautiful was building between them.
Then on July 2nd, so a month after that hard launch, that was it, a hard launch, things then went to the next level between them when they flew to Bali together. Then that next week was filled with more posts together, cute TikTok dances, all that usual shit.

Chapter 2: What evidence sparked rumors of Billy cheating in Bali?
But then there were suddenly no more posts and Athena was back in Perth and Billy remained in Bali and then a video appeared on the Daily Mail of him still in Bali kissing a woman who wasn't Athena. It was some random blonde chick who, I don't know, I haven't bothered to figure out who she is because I don't really care.
But that then led to this current question of, well, did he dare cheat on our dearest Davina? And what is happening there? And the answer to that question, my friends, is no, he didn't cheat. As I can confidently tell you that they were never together. And as far as I believe, they were never romantic in any way.
so as far as i do understand as the show aired earlier this year they naturally gravitated towards each other as they were both in perth and as things you know started exploding on screen and all the drama played out from filming they became even closer as like no one else in their lives who lived nearby really understood what they were going through like you know they
they both did and they both supported each other through that uh some may call that trauma bonding i believe um is that the basis of a great relationship probably not but then once fans started to suggest hey you two would actually be a really cute couple they continued hanging out and i think there was maybe a brief moment of them potentially thinking is there something here but that idea quickly fizzled out and their friendship remained and was growing strong and
But the issue with that is as they continued hanging out now, just as friends, everyone wanted them to be together as most fans of maths kind of long for some kind of happy ending.

Chapter 3: What was the nature of Billy and Athena's relationship before Bali?
And it seemed that we were going to get one here. And, you know, as they then continued to post themselves having fun on TikTok, fans would think it meant something more because they wanted it to mean something more.
And I think it's also fair to say that Billy and Athena leaned into this a little bit too much with that post where they wrote, I'll keep this one as they knew that doing that would go viral.
And they posted that kind of at a time when all the cast were fighting for followers and relevancy and articles and sponsored posts and them fueling that ongoing speculation that way kind of put them ahead of their peers in so many ways.
and can you blame them for this not really nah like business is business and as i say constantly the cast have a small time frame to monetize their newfound fame and you know go for it do what you gotta do make bank because channel nine and the maths production company animal shine have made millions off your misery so fucking do what you gotta do to get that bag
But back to my original question, because I'm getting carried away, sorry. Did Billie cheat on Athena? Again, no, as they were never together. And at best, as far as I believe, they may have shared a kiss at some point in time, potentially. But they then went, nah, not for us.

Chapter 4: Did Billy and Athena ever confirm their relationship status?
Let's just be mates.
And then what's interesting is after like, what, five, six weeks of them, like alluding something may be going on and the constant posts together and the captions, as soon as that video came out of Billy and the girl in the clubs, they both suddenly clarified with a new caption that says, I know everyone wants to see a romance between us, but we're just grateful to have built such a beautiful friendship from this experience.
Could they have said that five or six weeks ago to avoid all of this? Potentially, would they have gained followers or likes or sponsorships if they did that five or six weeks ago? Who knows? But you know what? As I said, good on them. Do what you got to do.
I just hope they both find somebody themselves now. Seems that Billy has a lady in a club.
Chapter 5: What conclusions can we draw about Billy's actions in Bali?
Yeah, that's all I've got for you today. Have a lovely day, guys, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast. I'll see what I can start doing on here. Now I've got some motivation for life back again. See ya.
