AFL star Lachie Neale reportedly has a new flame after his explosive marriage breakdown.
It’s believed striking brunette Emma Field is the new woman in the AFL champion’s life in recent times.
The pair were spotted together at Brisbane Airport after flying back from Melbourne, where Neale was in action for Brisbane Lions on Saturday night.
They were seen grinning as they walked side by side, with Neale understood to have waited for Field to join him in the terminal after he disembarked the plane with his teammates.
Neale and his wife Jules split late last year after what she described as an unimaginable betrayal involving her former best friend Tess Crosley.
Onlookers couldn’t help but notice that his rumoured new partner bears a striking resemblance to Crosley.
Since the highly-publicised cheating scandal, Neale has kept a notoriously low profile, however it’s believed he’s been telling close friends he’s seeing someone special.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted Field cheering on the Brisbane side at their home stadium, the Gabba, during week 20 of the football season.
It’s understood she was also in Perth the week prior when the Lions travelled to play against West Coast.
Adding fuel to the fire, the footy star has been caught liking several of Field’s glamorous Instagram pictures.
Field is said to work in advertising, and sources suggest she recently floated the idea of transferring to Melbourne for work.
The move conveniently aligns with whispers that Neale is eyeing a massive switch to Collingwood next season.
Field and Neale were contacted for comment.
‘Hello new home’
As Neale navigates his rumoured new romance, his ex-wife Jules has also officially closed the door on all the drama.
The 36-year-old influencer took to Instagram last week to reveal she has bought a gorgeous heritage-style family home in Perth.
“Hello new home, I can’t wait to see what memories we create here,” she captioned a post featuring her new front door wrapped in a massive white bow.
The purchase comes after Jules admitted she and her two young children had been living with her parents since making the cross-country dash back to Western Australia.
It also follows the former couple officially severing their real estate ties by selling their luxury Brisbane family home for $3.2 million at auction in February.
Just last month, Jules documented another major milestone by laser-removing the ‘L’ tattoo dedicated to her ex-husband from her wrist.
In January, the Brisbane Lions star confirmed the marriage separation and announced he was stepping down as Brisbane’s co-captain.
“I have let my family down, and I apologise for my actions, which have hurt those closest to me,” he told reporters at the time.
