Jules Neale to make her return to AFL heartland at Australian Open after her marriage with footy star Lachie Neale ended because of ‘unimaginable betrayal’

Footy WAG Jules Neale will be a high-profile guest at the Australian Open next week, as she looks to move on from her broken marriage with Brisbane Lions midfielder Lachie Neale.

Mother-of-two Neale – who has since relocated to Perth following the bombshell split – will be a reported guest of champagne sponsor Piper-Heidsieck at Melbourne Park on January 27.

It comes after Neale posted on Instagram she suffered from ‘unimaginable betrayal’ after discovering her husband was having an affair with her former ‘bestie’ Tess Crosley.

Earlier this week, hairdresser and influencer Neale revealed she has signed with leading talent agency One Daydream (ODd).

‘We are so excited to be welcoming @jules_neale to the ODd roster,’ the agency posted on Instagram.

‘Jules is a Perth-based talent with a strong presence across beauty, fashion and lifestyle. With a background in hair styling, she brings a polished yet effortless feel and a strong eye for detail to her content.’

A ‘for sale’ sign has appeared this week in the front yard of Lachie and Julie Neale’s former marital home in Brisbane at Seven Hills

Neale, 35, took to TikTok on Wednesday to post a short video which showed her living her best life.

The clip showed relaxed Neale sitting at an al-fresco restaurant table, sipping on a glass of white wine.

The post was set to Olivia Dean’s track ‘Lady Lady’, which features the lyric: ‘That lady, lady, she’s the man.’

Offering the camera a cheeky wink at the end of the clip, Neale captioned the video with a pointed dig at her former husband.

Apparently quoting a conversation she had regarding the split, Neale wrote: ‘I don’t understand how they could do that.’

Signalling that she has moved on from the drama, she added: ‘Exactly, what a blessing not to.’

As Neale continues to pick up the pieces, the couple’s $2.43million marital home at Seven Hills in Brisbane is now on the market.

Once described as their ‘forever home’, the stunning property boasts three bathrooms, a pool and an entertainment deck.

Footy star Neale, 32, is off-contract at the Brisbane Lions at the end of 2026, and the veteran could move to Western Australia in the twilight of his career to be closer to his children.

On January 3, the two-time Brownlow Medallist and dual premiership winner fronted the media to announce he had ‘let his family down’ and would be stepping down as the Lions’ co-captain.
