‘Everything crumbles’: Jules Neale’s telling hint in new post, awkward interview with Lachie

Jules Neale has made a telling hint in a new social media post as awkward footage with her AFL star husband Lachie comes to light.

Jules Neale has shared a bittersweet social media update just days after speaking out about her marriage breakdown.

The Perth-born hairstylist, who married AFL star Lachie Neale, 32, in 2018, shared her first update since sensationally responding to reports her relationship was over.

On Tuesday, the mother-of-two posted a photo to her 60k Instagram followers that showed she was spending time in Busselton, WA.

It was a heart with a bandage across, often used to indicate the process of healing or recovery.

It’s not known if Jules is staying in Perth in future, but it appears as if she’s staying away from the couple’s family home in Brisbane over the Christmas period.

Rumours first emerged of a marriage breakdown when it was spotted that Jules had wiped photos of Lachie, who is co-captain of the Brisbane Lions, from her Instagram account.

A report later emerged that the pair were “working through” private issues, a claim that Jules directly responded to in a statement.

“I want to make it very clear that I am not ‘working through’ anything,” she wrote.

“I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way. All I can do now is try to heal and do what’s best for my children.”

She concluded her post, writing: “Thank you for the love and support”.

Lachie is still following Jules and she still appears on his account.

Nine.com.au contacted Jules and Lachie at the time the claims emerged.

Earlier this month, Jules celebrated her son Freddie’s first birthday, sharing a series of photos from the celebrations to her Instagram.

Lachie did not feature in any of the first birthday photos and she didn’t mention him in her caption.

“Turning 1 today. This little man, and his beautiful big sister have taught me what real love, courage and joy look like,” she captioned the post.

“You’re the sweetest soul Freddie bear, thank you for choosing me, for holding me up without even knowing it. I’m so lucky to be your mumma and I love you beyond words.”
