New details emerge about woman at the centre of friendship breakdown with Jules Neale amid marriage woes
New details have emerged about AFL WAG Jules Neale’s reported marriage to double Brownlow medalist Lachie Neale breaking down.
Jules was forced to speak out last week after it was reported that he was “working through” a private relationship issue with the Brisbane Lions premiership player.
Jules, who hails from Perth, posted an Instagram story criticizing these reports and claimed she was “unimaginably betrayed”.
“I would like to make it clear that I am not working on anything,” Jules’ statement said.
“All I can do right now is try to heal and do what’s best for my kids.”
A screenshot later emerged showing Jules’ strongly worded and now-deleted comment on a close female friend’s Instagram post; where Jules demanded that Lachie remove a carousel of photos of her standing next to him.
“Download these (pictures)…” the comment said.
It was later revealed that the comment was left on a post by Jules’ close friend Tess Crosley, which showed Lachie standing between Mrs Crosley and her husband Ben on the ground at the MCG.
Both Jules and Ms Crosley unfollowed each other, but the photos remain on Ms Crosley’s Instagram page, and there are also a few photos of Neales and the Crosleys’ last trip to the Gold Coast in November.
According to DailyMail, Tess Crosley and her husband, Ben, married in December 2017 and are both Mormons; Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The couple has a two-year-old child.
Ms Crossley appears to have spent time in Jules’s native WA on a Mormon mission to Perth between 2015 and 2017; Photos from his time in the West are shared on Instagram.
Since the marriage drama became public, Jules has returned to WA on Tuesday, posting a photo of Busselton Pier with a ‘healing heart’ emoji on her Instagram story.
Jules’ Instagram following has ballooned since she posted the statement last Friday; The hairdresser, who owns his own salon in Perth after Lachie was traded from Fremantle Dockers to Brisbane, now has 61.5k followers, up from 27,000 followers reported last week.
In her latest grid post, Jules celebrated son Freddie’s first birthday with a carousel of photos that left Lachie notably absent.
The caption read, “You are the sweetest soul Freddie bear, Thank you for choosing me, for keeping me going without even realizing it.”
Jules and Lachie also share four-year-old daughter Piper.
