The wife of Brisbane Lions champion Lachie Neale has flown across the country to her home state of Western Australia, seeking solace after publicly confirming the collapse of their marriage.
A Public Statement and a Journey West
Jules Neale, the Perth-born hairstylist married to the AFL star since 2018, made a decisive social media post on Friday, December 19, 2025. She directly contradicted earlier reports that the couple were attempting to reconcile. "I want to make it very clear that I am not 'working through' anything," Jules wrote. "I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way."
She indicated her sole focus was now on recovery and her family, stating, "All I can do now is to heal and do what's best for my children." Following this emotional disclosure, she boarded a plane to WA.
Healing by the Coast in Busselton
By Tuesday, December 23, Jules had shared her location with followers. She posted a photograph from a beach near the famous Busselton Jetty, accompanying it with a mending heart emoji—a universal symbol for recovery. This visual cue strongly suggests she is spending time in the coastal city to mend emotionally following the marriage breakdown.
The trip follows tangible signs of a permanent separation in Brisbane, where a moving truck was recently observed at the family home the couple shared.
Friendship Fallout and Social Media Scrubs
The personal turmoil has also fractured a close friendship. Jules has reportedly had a falling out with longtime friend Tess Crosley. A screenshot emerged showing Jules demanding Crosley remove Instagram photos featuring both couples celebrating the Brisbane Lions' grand final win at the MCG.
The comment, which has since been deleted, simply read: "Take these (pictures) down." The post remains live on Crosley's profile, but the two women are no longer following each other on the platform.
Further evidence of the split is visible on Jules's own Instagram account. She has unfollowed Lachie's profile and removed photos of him and their friends. Notably, Lachie continues to follow Jules, and her images remain on his account.
The situation, which erupted into public view last week, continues to develop as both individuals navigate the personal and public consequences of their separation.
