Lachie and Jules Neale’s final holiday with the woman at the centre of their marriage breakdown and her husband revealed as awkward video also emerges

by

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the story of Jules and Lachie Neale, and recently some photos surfaced showing a happier time. They depict a final holiday the couple shared with their former friend, Tess Crosley, and her husband, Ben, before a very public falling out sadly ended their friendship. It’s a poignant reminder that even the closest relationships can change, and it’s always a little bittersweet to see glimpses of how things used to be.

Hairstylist and social media personality Jules, 35, publicly criticized Tess on Monday, asking her to take down photos from the Brisbane Lions’ recent grand final party on Instagram.

Jules commented, ‘Take those pictures down, you’re making a fool of yourself,’ referring to photos of Tess, who used to be a Mormon missionary, with a famous football player.

The message was removed, and the two people, who used to be partners, have unfollowed each other on social media.

This follows Jules’ announcement on Friday that her marriage had ended. She refuted reports suggesting she and Neale were trying to resolve problems, claiming instead that she had experienced a deeply hurtful betrayal, though she didn’t offer details about what happened.

It’s evident their relationship wasn’t always strained – photos of them together were still publicly available on her social media as of Tuesday.

The post featured a series of photos showing Tess, Jules, their partners, and children having fun on a beach vacation in November.

The group seemed to be really enjoying themselves together, and a photo showed the old friends posing in bikinis on the beach.

A photo also showed Tess and Lachie relaxing in the backyard of the place they were staying for vacation.

A video posted to Tess’ TikTok in June features her, her husband Ben, Lachie, and Jules participating in a popular TikTok trend.

The clip shows the foursome performing the ‘hope our husbands like each other’ skit.

I always find it so touching when Jules and Tess share those little moments. I recently noticed Jules quietly mouthing ‘I hope our husbands get along,’ and Tess immediately echoed her feelings, saying ‘me too.’ It just feels so real and relatable, you know?

The camera then cuts to a shot of Lachie and Ben with their arms interlocked drinking a cocktail.

The clip was captioned: ‘Four best friends’.

Okay, so I was obsessed with them, right? And then, out of nowhere, this bombshell post dropped! It happened right after all these gossip sites started saying they were secretly trying to fix things, you know, behind closed doors. It was like, BAM! Everything just exploded. I couldn’t believe it!

‘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.

‘All I can do now is to heal and do what’s best for my children,’ she continued.

Just hours after making the announcement, Jules removed all photos of Lachie from her Instagram, effectively deleting over ten years of shared memories. At the same time, a moving truck was seen at their home in Brisbane, suggesting she was already starting to move out.

Jules angrily told Tess to take down photos from the Brisbane Lions’ grand final party that she’d posted online.

The post showcased photos from the grand final and the lively celebrations after Brisbane won their second consecutive premiership. Several pictures featured Jules and Lachie on the field and in the locker room, celebrating with their friends.

A screenshot of a now-deleted comment reveals Jules wrote: ‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself.’

Tess has also switched off comments on the post after members of the public flooded the account.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess.

Neither party has made any public comment on the situation.

Jules and Lachie are parents to two children: Piper, who is four years old, and Freddie, who was born in December 2024.
