Fresh twist in Lachie Neale scandal as he and Tess Crosley share posts from same venue in Brisbane

by

Lachie Neale and Tess Crosley have sparked fresh chatter after they went to the same Brisbane bar. 

The couple, recently caught up in a scandal over an affair, both shared photos on Instagram showing they were at Le Royale in Brisbane.

The photos, which show a band on stage, appear to have been taken on the same night. 

The decorations at the club and the performers’ style seem to fit together, but it’s unknown if they were both there at the same time, or if they even noticed each other.

Lachie posted the picture four weeks ago, and Tess shared hers last week as part of a photo collection with a heart and spades emoji.

Tess recently hinted that she may be back on the market. 

The 30-year-old woman believed to be involved in Lachie and Jules Neale’s divorce has apparently joined Raya, a dating app popular with celebrities.

The advertisement features attractive photos of Tess, including one where she’s blonde and wearing a revealing bikini.

Tess’ online profile is unconventional. Her job title is listed as ‘I’m a mammii,’ and her bio simply asks visitors to share information about themselves with a ‘Tell me about you first x’.

Raya is the go-to app for high-profile people and celebrities to find love. 

Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Demi Lovato, and Olivia Rodrigo are just a few of the celebrities who have been featured on the site in the past.

Tess was spotted packing removal boxes at her Brisbane marital home in February.

Tess faced a lot of attention from the media when Jules publicly asked her to remove pictures of Lachie, a former co-captain of the Brisbane Lions, from her Instagram, suggesting she was making a fool of herself.

She has so far refused to comment on speculation she was the ‘other woman’ in the Neales’ split.  

Tess hasn’t publicly addressed the current state of her marriage to Ben Crosley, the company’s finance director. He mentioned in January that they were no longer living together.

It seemed to be confirmed when Tess was spotted packing up moving boxes at the couple’s house in the upscale Brisbane suburb of Camp Hill.

Tess hasn’t publicly commented on claims she was involved in the Neales’ divorce, but her family has spoken up to support her.

The drama began over the Christmas holidays when Jules announced her divorce from Lachie, accusing her old friend Tess of being responsible, and relocated from Brisbane to Perth with her two kids.

The drama began just after Christmas when Jules announced her divorce from Lachie, accusing her old friend Tess of being involved, and relocated from Brisbane to Perth with her two kids.

By January 2, amid intense media scrutiny, Lachie had stepped down as co-captain of the Lions.

He told reporters he was deeply sorry for letting his family down and causing them pain. He didn’t share details, but apologized for his actions and the hurt they caused.

I understand this is a result of what I did, and my main focus now is repairing my relationship with Jules. Our children’s happiness and well-being are the most important thing.

Jules reportedly found out about the affair when another wife and girlfriend of a Brisbane player saw Lachie and Tess together in a car.
