Tess Crosley: Major life development for woman at centre of Neale marriage saga as she looks to move house
All parties are doing their best to forget the drama of months past, with some taking the term ‘moving on’ quite literally.
The woman centred in Lachie and Jules Neale’s marriage saga appears to have taken a literal approach to moving on from the events of late 2025 that captured the attention of the footy world.
Queensland-based Tess Crosley shared a social media post at the weekend which hinted at her departure from her family home and move into a new residence.
The mother shares a young child with husband Ben whom she previously resided with in Brisbane, with the couple believed to be separated.

“Moving feels like this emoji 🫠,” she captioned the Instagram story.
The post was soundtracked to rapper Lil Uzi Vert’s What You Saying, with Tess perhaps taking some inspiration from its lyrics, “She don’t stop, keep going”.
The mother’s major life update trails the decision of Jules to return home to Perth in early 2026 after she and dual Brownlow medallist Lachie parted ways.
The former pair share two children, with Lachie flying back to visit his kids at regular intervals when his playing schedule permits.
In recent weeks, Jules announced her return to hairdressing after initially launching a successful career in WA prior to relocating to Queensland for Lachie’s footy career in late 2018.
“Beautiful Perth clients I’m back on the tools! Doing what I love!” she declared recently.
With 19 years of experience behind her, Jules will be working out of Studio C Artistry in Mt Pleasant from June.
She provided an update to keen clients on Tuesday, saying her “bookings are filling up fast with so many new faces, and some old ones too”.
Jules is also anticipating the launch of her new hair styling venture labelled Vela.
To reset for her “new chapter”, the mother enjoyed a quiet getaway to the Maldives in recent days.
