Jules Neale's telling online move amid split from AFL star Lachie Neale
Jules Neale's online move amid split from AFL star

Jules Neale, the wife of Brisbane Lions AFL star Lachie Neale, has made a significant change to her social media profile as the couple's marriage breakdown continues to unfold publicly. The 35-year-old hairdresser and influencer has removed all ties to the talent management company she once shared with her husband from her Instagram biography.

A Significant Online Shift

According to a report by the Herald Sun on Friday, Jules has deleted the reference to TGI Sport from her Instagram bio. TGI Sport is the company that manages both Jules and Lachie Neale. Lachie, 32, is represented by manager Tom Petròro through the firm. This move signals a clear professional separation, casting aside the partnership she once held with the company alongside her husband.

Previously, Jules's Instagram bio included the email address of her manager at TGI Sport. This contact detail has now been erased in the wake of her split from the Brownlow Medallist. The change follows Jules's recent public revelation that she and Lachie are not reconciling, contradicting earlier reports.

Public Fallout and Accusations

The marriage breakdown has spilled over into public disputes involving former friends. Jules recently launched a stinging attack on Tess Crosley, a woman who has found herself involved in the Neales' separation. On Monday, Jules demanded that Tess remove photos from her Instagram account that were taken during the Brisbane Lions' grand final celebrations.

The post featured multiple images from the day, including several shots of Jules and Lachie together on the field and in the sheds celebrating with friends. In a now-deleted comment, captured in screenshots, Jules wrote: 'Take these down, you idiot, you're embarrassing yourself.' There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess Crosley.

The End of the Partnership

Jules Neale recently took to social media to explicitly deny rumours that she was 'working through' issues with Lachie. 'I want to make it very clear that I am not 'working through' anything. I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way,' she wrote. She added that her focus was now on healing and doing what is best for her children, though she did not specify the nature of the alleged betrayal.

Within hours of posting that statement, she deleted every photo of Lachie from her Instagram account. It is also believed that Jules has returned to Western Australia to be with her family. Meanwhile, a moving truck was recently spotted parked in the driveway of the couple's marital home in Brisbane.

The couple, who share a four-year-old daughter, Piper, and a son, Freddie, born in December 2024, had previously appeared close with Tess Crosley and her husband, Ben. Photos emerged of the two couples enjoying a holiday together, and a TikTok video from June showed the foursome taking part in a 'hope our husbands like each other' skit, captioned 'Four best friends.' Neither party has made any further public comment on the current situation.
