Jules Neale, 35, has added a new chapter to her public saga, hinting at a broken heart in her latest social media post. This comes after she initially revealed feelings of betrayal, describing it as “the most unimaginable way.” Reports indicate that she and her husband, the two-time Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale, are navigating a private relationship issue.
Social media activity this week suggests a significant rift between Jules and former friend Tess Crosley. Jules publicly requested Crosley to remove Instagram photos featuring her with the Brisbane Lions star, Lachie Neale. The former friends have since unfollowed each other on the platform, with Jules writing, “Take these (pictures) down, you idiot you’re embarrassing yourself,” a comment she later deleted.
The Unfolding Drama
Despite Jules’ request, photos of the couples celebrating the Lions’ grand final victory remain on Crosley’s Instagram and TikTok pages. Neither Crosley, Lachie, the Brisbane Lions, nor Neale’s management have made public comments. Crosley’s silence aligns with her private lifestyle, as detailed in a Daily Mail report.
Crosley and her husband Ben, who are of the Mormon faith, were married in 2017 and share a son. She grew up on the Gold Coast and has been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from an early age. Between 2015 and 2017, she engaged in missionary work in Western Australia, sharing some of her experiences on Instagram.
Allegations and Reactions
According to reports, Jules informed Ben Crosley about an alleged affair between their partners. Jules has publicly stated that her marriage cannot be reconciled due to the betrayal. “I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way,” she wrote, emphasizing her focus on healing and her children’s well-being.
On Tuesday, Jules shared an Instagram story featuring Busselton Jetty, accompanied by a heart-mending emoji, suggesting she may be spending time with family in Western Australia. Moving trucks were reportedly seen at the Neales’ Brisbane home, indicating a potential relocation.
Background and Relationship History
Jules, originally from Western Australia, met Lachie Neale during his tenure with the Fremantle Dockers. Their relationship blossomed after an initial rejection at a Perth nightspot. The couple later moved to Brisbane when Lachie joined the Lions in 2018.
In a November interview with Style Magazine, Lachie discussed the challenges of balancing family life with a professional sports career, crediting Jules as a stabilizing force. “I’m probably a little bit selfish in my habits,” he admitted, acknowledging Jules’ support.
“Relationships are success,” Jules said in a promotional interview, highlighting the importance of strong personal connections.
Public Perception and Social Media
Jules has removed all photos of Lachie from her Instagram, signaling a significant shift in their public narrative. Her recent comments on Crosley’s posts, despite being deleted, have fueled speculation about the nature of their fallout.
Social media detectives have unearthed a TikTok video from June featuring both couples, which has since attracted attention for its ironic undertones. The video, captioned “Four best friends,” shows the couples participating in a viral trend, further complicating the public’s understanding of their relationships.
Who is Tess Crosley?
Tess Crosley is a dental hygienist and co-founder of Evella Health, a company specializing in eco-friendly period products. Her LinkedIn profile describes her as a dedicated professional with interests in sports and travel. Despite the ongoing drama, Crosley has maintained her public persona, with comments turned off on recent posts.
Jules and Lachie share two children, Piper and Freddie. Jules recently celebrated Freddie’s first birthday without featuring Lachie in any shared photos, a stark contrast to their previously public displays of affection.
Future Implications
While Jules and Lachie’s relationship remains under scrutiny, the Brisbane Lions continue to thrive on the field. Lachie’s recent performances have solidified his status as one of the game’s greats, despite personal challenges.
The unfolding drama between Jules Neale and Tess Crosley highlights the complex interplay between personal lives and public personas, especially in the age of social media. As the situation develops, the public remains captivated, awaiting further revelations.
