Tess Crosley has found some calm in the storm as she rang in her 30th birthday this weekend.
The 32-year-old Mormon missionary connected to the recent split between Australian Rules Football stars Jules and Lachie Neale was seen enjoying a drink at Penfolds Magill Estate Winery in South Australia.
Tess shared a photo on social media Monday from their outing, looking happy and radiant as they smiled off-camera.
She celebrated turning 30 over the weekend, sharing a photo of herself with dessert and a glass of wine.
Tess reposted the image to her Instagram Stories and included a meaningful song by Lana Del Rey.
The song snippet Tess shared, from the track “Cinnamon Girl,” includes the lines: “Hold me, love me, touch me, honey. Be the first to ever do that.”
I’m a bit confused about who’s celebrating with Tess for her birthday! Her husband, Ben, is actually away in Bali with a bunch of friends, checking on the properties they all own together. So it’s unclear who’s spending the weekend with her.
Last week, Ben was photographed with friends Tom Bennallack and Seth Mutton at the upscale Bambu Fitness center in Uluwatu, following a tough workout.
On Wednesday, Bennallack posted more photos of the three of them riding scooters around Bali, before checking into an Airbnb in Ubud.
The friends had already invested in several beautiful vacation homes and traveled to the Indonesian island to see the progress on the project.
He and Tess got married around 2017 and developed a close friendship with Lachie Neale and his wife, Jules.
The Brisbane Lions captain revealed last Friday that he and his wife have separated, and expressed regret for the impact on his family.
Rumors started circulating on December 18th that the couple, parents to Freddie and Piper, were having relationship problems.
In response to the speculation, Jules took to Instagram to say that she had been ‘betrayed’.
‘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.’
Jules asked her ex-friend, Tess, to remove photos online showing them with Ben and Lachie celebrating the Brisbane Lions’ AFL Grand Final win.
Okay, so I saw this really fun Instagram post the other day! It had a bunch of pictures, but the one that really caught my eye was Tess and Jules playfully nibbling on Lachie’s premiership medal. It was such a sweet and celebratory moment, and they had to share it with the world!
Jules wrote on Instagram: ‘Take these down you idiot you’re embarrassing yourself.’
The comment has since been deleted.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess.
Lately, Tess – who has a young child with Ben – has looked sad and worried when leaving her home in Brisbane.
She was also seen not wearing her wedding ring.
She’s taken down the photos of herself celebrating the Lions’ win from Instagram, but you can still find a few reminders of her past relationship with Jules on the platform.
