Shock new claims emerge about what Lachie Neale and Jules’ former best friend Tess Crosley got up to at the gym: ‘Did not try to hide it’

New allegations have surfaced regarding Brisbane Lions player Lachie Neale and Tess Crosley, who is close friends with his wife, Jules. These claims add to the existing controversy surrounding their relationship.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! I heard from someone who was at Total Fusion Newstead – their gym! – that Lachie and Tess were being SO openly affectionate with each other. Like, seriously, they weren’t even trying to hide it! My source said it was pretty obvious something’s going on between them. I knew it! I just knew they had a connection!

Someone at the gym said Lachie and the other person seemed very flirty, leading them to think Lachie and Jules, 35, were already broken up.

According to a source, I’ve seen Lachie, who goes to Total Fusion gym, being very openly affectionate with a woman named Tess for several months now.

‘They did not try to hide it… I assumed he was separated because of it.’

Tess and Lachie are frequent visitors to the upscale gym, which also provides relaxing and restorative treatments like float tanks, cold therapy, and infrared saunas.

Many places also provide services like facials, massages, laser treatments for the skin, physical therapy, nutritional advice, and exercise programs.

Lachie has made a promotional video for the gym before and posted it on Instagram, along with details about his fitness and wellness habits.

Tess has been taking and sharing selfies from various spots at the gym, including the bathroom, locker room, and even the rooftop. Lachie responded to the rooftop photo with a red heart emoji.

Daily Mail has reached out to Lachie and Tess for comment. 

Earlier this month, Lachie unexpectedly resigned as co-captain of the Brisbane Lions following revelations of an affair over the Christmas holidays. The affair involved his wife, Jules, and her former close friend, Tess, and has led to a difficult separation for the couple.

News broke earlier this week that Jules found out about Tess’s affair with her Australian Rules Football player husband when another wife of a player saw them together in a car.

After talking to a friend in the Lions group, this woman shared what she had seen with Jules.

Jules left the house she shared with her husband around Christmas time and is believed to be returning to her home state of Western Australia with their two children, Piper and Freddie.

Lachie has relocated to an apartment in Brisbane while getting ready for what might be his final season playing for the Lions.

The story started in December when Jules posted on Instagram to refute a claim from Herald Sun columnist Jackie Epstein. Epstein had reported that Jules and Lachie were having problems in their marriage, but Jules denied this.

‘I want to make it very clear that I am not “working through” anything,’ she wrote.

‘I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.’

This sparked weeks of rumors about their relationship, especially after Jules asked Tess to take down pictures of her and Lachie from the AFL grand final on social media.

‘Take these down you idiot you’re embarrassing yourself,’ she wrote in a since-deleted comment.

Lachie later announced that he and Jules had separated at a press conference on January 2nd at Brighton Homes Arena. He also announced he was stepping down as co-captain of the Brisbane Lions at that time.

I won’t share the details, but I’ve disappointed my family and I’m truly sorry for the pain I’ve caused to those I love. I deeply regret my actions.

I understand this is a result of what I’ve done, and my priority now is to regain Jules’ trust, because our children’s happiness is the most important thing.

Look, I get it, people are always curious about what’s going on in my life because I’m… well, me. But honestly, I’m really asking everyone to please, please respect Jules and our kids right now. We’re figuring things out, starting a new chapter, and it’s just… a really sensitive time. We need space to navigate this privately, you know? It would mean the world to me if everyone could just understand that.

The conference escalated when a reporter asked: ‘Did you cheat on your wife?’

‘I cannot address those rumours,’ the star midfielder shot back.
