Jules Neale and Ben Crosley Forge Public Alliance After Marital Betrayals
Jules Neale has made her alliance with Ben Crosley public, just months after their successive marriages broke down when their spouses allegedly had an affair. This development follows intense speculation and personal turmoil that has captivated public attention.
Background of the Marital Breakdowns
Jules and Ben’s wife Tess Crosley were close friends until the end of last year, when Jules revealed she was "betrayed in the most unimaginable way" as rumours swirled about the state of her marriage with Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale. Lachie later confirmed he and Jules had split after seven years of marriage as he stepped down from the Brisbane Lions’ co-captaincy, with Tess identified as the woman at the centre of an alleged affair between the two.
Lachie Neale stated in a press conference in January: "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."
Social Media Clues and Public Interactions
Since the fallout of their very public splits, Jules and Ben still follow each other despite having scrubbed their respective social media platforms clean of their former spouses. In a telling detail, Jules has been spotted liking Ben’s Instagram posts, including a recent carousel of his selfies and photographs with his son.
The latest post is pointedly set to XXXTENTACION’s song, The Remedy For A Broken Heart, hinting at shared emotional experiences. This revelation comes just days after Tess and Ben were pictured in a frosty exchange during a handover of their son in Brisbane earlier this week.
Historical Connections and Current Moves
The former couple were close friends with the Neales before splitting, even attending the 2025 AFL Grand Final as Lachie won his second premiership. Jules has since moved back to her home State of Western Australia after separating from her husband and has a heavy presence on social media, with the 36-year-old influencer racking up almost 160,000 followers on her Instagram page.
Lachie remains in Brisbane to complete the AFL season, but the house the pair shared with their two children was sold at auction in February for an eye-watering $3.2 million. Tess also appears to have moved on from the drama, after she was reportedly spotted on the celebrity dating app, Raya, according to the Daily Mail.
This unfolding saga highlights the complexities of personal relationships in the public eye, with social media playing a key role in revealing alliances and emotional states. The situation continues to evolve, drawing interest from fans and observers alike.
