Billy Brownless' ex-wife Nikki enjoyed a boat trip with her fiance Gary Lyon and her Footy Show pals Sam Newman and James Brayshaw.
AFL star Sam, 78, hosted the group on his luxury yacht during a fun-filled footy show reunion to Palm Bay on the Whitsundays weekend.
Photos and videos showed Sam and his friend Sue Stanley smiling with Nicky and Gary, 57, and Seven Sport star James, 57, and his partner Lisa.
However, fans were quick to notice that Footy Show alum and Nicky's ex-husband Billy – who had all his AFL pals on the trip – was absent from the reunion.
Commenting on a YouTube video of the trip, one fan wrote: 'Couldn't be more sad for Billy Brownless. I hope he does better emotionally.'
Another said: 'Carrie with Billy's ex Nicki', while a third added: 'I wonder if Billy's invited.'
However, others noted Billy's recent happiness and his revelation that he has found love again with businesswoman Crystal Fleur and urged people to 'carry on'.
Billy and Nicky split in 2015 after 18 years, and she famously moved in with her best mate and Footy Show co-host Carrie, 57, a year later.

However, fans were quick to notice that Footy Show alum and Nicky's ex-husband Billy – who had all his AFL pals on the trip – was absent from the reunion.
Just a month after their relationship hit the headlines, Billy revealed how the affair had affected his family, saying 'a good partner wouldn't do that'.
At the time, he also sensationally admitted that Gary and Nikki's secret relationship may have lasted for years.
'I couldn't believe it. I found out about three to four months ago. I asked Gary and Nicky earlier what was going on and they said they were good friends,” he told the AFL Footy Show at the time. 'That's what hurts the most.'
However, the former best friends seem to have moved on in recent years, with Nicki and the Brownless kids getting together – even sparring over Christmas.
Billy and Nicky share four children together – daughters Lucy and Ruby and sons Oscar and Max.
In January, Billy and Gary reunited on the airwaves after a staggering eight years as SEN Melbourne celebrated 20 years in Australian radio.
Joined by Tim Watson, the trio reminisced about their past antics, including 'finding a bit of trouble' with their bosses after a year of performing live following a big night at Logies.
Nicky and Gary are still in a relationship and got engaged last year, with the former AFL star popping the question in New York.

Meanwhile, Billy moved in with Crystal Fleur, a mother of three. They dated for two months and made their red carpet debut at the Gargie Greaves Medal
Meanwhile, Billy has moved in with mother-of-three Crystal, who owns Geelong-based equestrian company Erinvale Thoroughbreds.
They've been dating for two months and made their red carpet debut at the Carji Greeves Medal, which celebrates Geelong's Best and Fairest, earlier this month.
Crystal joined Billy at the September club after Saturday's AFL grand final, where his ex-wife Nikki and Carrie were also in attendance.
'We love our football and racing. He doesn't want to do films but it's going well,' Billy told the Herald Sun of his new romance on Thursday.
