In the wake of a shocking revelation, the world is buzzing about the unexpected social media connections in the Lachie Neale drama. The AFL star, who recently stepped down as co-captain of the Brisbane Lions, is at the center of a complex situation involving alleged infidelity and broken relationships. But here's where it gets intriguing: despite the turmoil, some digital ties remain, sparking curiosity and speculation.
Lachie Neale, aged 32, has unfollowed his wife, Jules Neale, and her former best friend, Tess Crosley, on Instagram. However, he continues to follow Tess's husband, Ben Crosley. This is a curious move, isn't it? Adding another layer to the story, Neale still follows Jules's hairdressing page and hasn't deleted photos of them together.
Jules, 35, has also unfollowed Lachie and Tess but still follows Ben. She also follows Lachie’s father, Robbie Neale. Tess, 30, has unfollowed both Lachie and Jules but maintains a connection with her husband, Ben. Adding to the intrigue, Tess has been seen without her wedding ring on numerous occasions. Ben, on the other hand, follows everyone involved.
This social media snapshot emerges amidst fresh details about the alleged affair between Lachie and Tess. Reports suggest Jules discovered the alleged infidelity when another Brisbane WAG witnessed them in a "compromising position" inside a car. According to sources, the relationship between Lachie and Tess had been ongoing for approximately six months, with reports suggesting they were "not discreet" in public or private settings.
The silence speaks volumes: Both Lachie Neale and Tess Crosley have declined to comment on the allegations. Earlier this month, Lachie publicly confirmed his split from Jules and stepped down as co-captain of the Lions. He has since moved out of the family home in Brisbane, while Jules has returned to Perth with their children, Piper, four, and Freddie, one.
In a press conference on January 2, Lachie stated, "While I won’t go into specifics, I can say that I have let my family down and I apologise for my actions that have let down those that are closest to me. And for that I am deeply sorry." When asked directly about the alleged affair, he responded, "No, I can’t address those rumours."
Jules's only public comment came last month, where she expressed feeling "betrayed in the most unimaginable way." She refuted reports of "working through" issues, stating, "I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way... All I can do now is try to heal and do what’s best for my children." She also publicly criticized Tess, calling her an “idiot” and demanding she remove photos of them together from social media.
Lachie and Jules married in 2018 after a whirlwind romance. Tess, a former dental hygienist and a Mormon, married Ben in 2017, and they share a young son named Beau.
