Former Footy Show host Garry Lyon and Nicky Brownless grabbed coffee in a rare public sighting since she left her husband Billy for his best friend. 

The couple sported active wear as they walked down High Street in the inner Melbourne suburb of Armadale, known for its high fashion boutiques, hair salons and cafes on Tuesday.

Nicky left Billy Brownless for his co-host and best mate Lyon in a scandalous affair which tore apart a marriage, a family, and a longtime friendship in 2016.

Ms Brownless, 48, became romantically involved with her husband's best friend Mr Lyon, 51, in 2015 while she was still married to Billy Brownless, 52, who she shares four children with.

Garry recently slammed his former show, which is suffering from record-low ratings, because of their new panel lineup in a radio interview.  

'I would've thought they'd come up with something different for it. Come up with a fresh name for it. It's not The Footy Show,' he said to SEN Radio. 

He left the show in 2015 before his affair became public and Nicky's ex-husband Billy Brownless left the show last year.  

The pair were briefly reunited in grief at Lou Richards' funeral in March 2017, but are not believed to be on speaking terms - despite previously holidaying together with their families

Mr Brownless and Mr Lyon worked on Channel Nine's The Footy Show together and had been good friends for 15 years.

Following the revelations, Mr Lyon admitted he had been battling depression for months.  

'I haven't spoke to (Billy) since before Christmas previously,' Lyon said in 2017. 

'I spoke to Bill before this became public and beyond that, it's something for he and I to work through and we'll do it'.

In March 2016, Mr Brownless opened up about the toll the affair has had on his family, saying 'a good mate wouldn't do that' and believed the secret relationship could have been going on for up to four years.    

'I couldn't believe it. I found out three or four months ago. I asked Garry and Nicky earlier on what is going on and they said they were just good friends. That's what hurts the most,' Mr Brownless told the Footy Show.

'By law it's legal. Morally it's wrong. We all know our rights and wrong. You don't touch a man's wallet, you don't touch his wife.' 

Ms Brownless previously told Herald Sun she was splitting her time between Mr Lyon's home in Melbourne and her own in Geelong.
