Jules Neale spotted for first time since moving back to WA following husband Lachie’s alleged affair

Jules Neale has been spotted for the first time since she was rumoured to have moved back to Perth after her very public split from AFL star Lachie Neale.

Jules, who hails from Perth, was spotted meeting with friends at a cafe and looked a far cry from when she was seen tearfully moving out of the marital home she shared with Lachie earlier this month.

Sporting all-black activewear complemented with gold jewellery, Jules was photographed by DailyMail laughing and smiling as she conversed with friends while sipping an iced latte at an outdoor venue.

She was also spotted hoisting a large brown leather bag into a large white 4WD.

The photos come just one day after it was revealed Jules’ husband Lachie and her former friend Tess Crosley attended the same gym in Brisbane amid speculation about their alleged affair.

Speaking to news.com.au, fellow attendee to the luxurious Newstead gym said Lachie and Ms Crosley were “openly affectionate”.

“I go to Total Fusion gym where Lachie is a member, and for months he has been very affectionate. . .with that Tess woman,” the source said.

“They did not try to hide it.”

Jules’ seven-year marriage to Lachie ended in December last year after she posted about speculation that the couple, who married in Perth, were working through relationship issues.

Lachie, who stepped down as Brisbane Lions co-captain, confirmed the split earlier this month.

“While I won’t go into specifics, I can say that I have let my family down and I apologise for my actions that have let down those that are closest to me,” he said.

It is believed Jules has now relocated back to Perth with the couple’s two children, while Lachie’s future on the east coast remains tenuous as he is out of contract with the Brisbane Lions at the end of this year.

Lions coach Chris Fagan said Lachie would have his “blessing” to return west-side to be near his children if he decides not to stay at Brisbane.
