After Lachie Neale’s affair was revealed, causing a separation from his wife Jules, everyone wondered this week if Tess Crosley, the woman he had the affair with, was still married and if her own marriage would survive.
We believed we’d found someone to speak to on Sunday when the Daily Mail contacted Ben Crosley, a director at an investment company, at his home in Camp Hill.
Ben didn’t feel like talking much, but he did mention that Tess had moved out, which suggested they had broken up.
However, the story recently took an unexpected turn: only a day after we visited, Tess was seen at the house, looking comfortable and as if she lived there.
The 30-year-old, who used to be a Mormon missionary, was spotted taking out the trash dressed casually in a blue athletic romper, a black jacket, and sneakers. He was wearing sunglasses and seemed to be trying to avoid attention.
Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and she wore gold earrings with a ring on the middle finger of her right hand.
Her wedding finger was, unsurprisingly, bare.
The mother was spotted returning home from the gym in her black car. She parked in the driveway and got out, carrying a drink.
Could the Crosleys be attempting to work things out? It’s hard to know for sure, but it’s clear the Neales’ marriage is over.
After starting to separate, Jules officially ended her professional relationship with her husband, Lachie, by hiring her own lawyer.
She used to have the same manager as a two-time Brownlow Medal winner, but now she’s working with One Daydream PR, a social media agency, to find sponsorship opportunities while she starts over in Perth.
On Tuesday, the Mail interviewed Pru Corrigan, the CEO of One Daydream, and she expressed confidence about the company’s future.
Ms. Corrigan mentioned it’s still early in their working relationship, but she’s thrilled to support Jules as she starts this new phase of her career.
She’s especially excited to collaborate with Jules, a talented hairstylist from Perth. Jules paused her career to support her husband’s football career when he played on the east coast, and now they’ll be working together on content about fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.
‘Since Jules is based in Perth now, we’re hoping to bring Western Australian fashion designers to the fore,’ Ms Corrigan said.
So, everyone’s been buzzing about Jules’ recent selfie, and whether it was a calculated move with One Daydream. Honestly? It wasn’t! As far as any planning goes, that was a totally spontaneous moment – no behind-the-scenes strategy involved. It just happened.
‘Since it’s early days, I wasn’t involved. But of course she looks incredible,’ she said.
We also wondered if Jules might appear on reality TV in the future, pointing out that Matt Zukowski, another One Daydream client and star of Love Island, is currently gaining attention on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’
‘Never say never,’ Ms Corrigan replied.
Just days before Christmas, news surfaced that AFL stars Lachie and Jules were having problems in their marriage and were trying to resolve them.
Jules quickly stopped the online discussion, stating clearly, ‘I’m not dealing with any personal issues right now.’
‘I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.’
The post sparked a lot of discussion, and Jules’ old friend, Tess Crosley, became a key focus when Jules asked her to take down pictures of the two of them with Lachie from last year’s AFL Grand Final.
‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself,’ she wrote in a since-deleted comment.
I was really saddened to hear Lachie announce his separation at the press conference on January 2nd. It was tough to watch, especially as he also stepped down as co-captain of the Lions at the same time. He held the conference at Brighton Homes Arena, and it felt like the end of an era for him, both personally and professionally.
‘While I will not go into specifics, I can say that I have let my family down,’ he said.
‘I apologise for my actions, which have hurt those closest to me, and I am deeply sorry.’
He stated that his main priorities would be regaining trust and ensuring his children are doing well.
Oh my gosh, you guys, the press conference was insane! It was going okay, and then this reporter just blasted him with this awful question – straight up asked if he cheated on his wife! I nearly fell out of my chair, it was so shocking and… honestly, I’m still reeling. The tension was thick, you could cut it with a knife. I just can’t believe someone would ask that! It was awful, just awful.
‘I cannot address those rumours,’ Lachie replied.
It came to light last week that the alleged affair had been happening for around three months. Another wife of a player—a ‘WAG’—discovered it and told Jules about it.
After publicly addressing the situation and resigning from his role as co-captain, Lachie has relocated to a rental property in Brisbane and is currently living by himself.
I’m hearing that Jules and her family have moved back to Perth, her hometown! It sounds like she’s already settling in nicely – I heard she was catching up with friends over lunch on Friday. It’s lovely to see people reconnecting with their roots and enjoying quality time with loved ones.
