He was seen on Saturday morning getting into a car, the publication reports. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile it appears his wife Jules Neale has been in WA with her family after she shared an image from Busselton Jetty, south of Perth, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The image was accompanied by a mending heart emoji.<\/p>\n<p>The couple\u2019s Brisbane home reportedly remains vacant after movers were seen there last week.<\/p>\n<p>In an explosive post last week, Jules suggested her marriage could not be reconciled following what she described as an \u201cunimaginable betrayal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It came after it was reported she and Lachie were \u201cworking through\u201d private issues. Jules responded by writing: \u201cI want to make it very clear that I am not \u2018working through\u2019 anything. I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I can do now is to heal and do what\u2019s best for my children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding further distance<\/p>\n<p>Jules, who shares two children with Lachie, may be cutting other ties connected to her husband, with the Herald Sun reporting she has removed the talent agency that represented both her and Lachie from her Instagram page.<\/p>\n<p>She had previously included an email address to management company TGI Sport, in her Instagram bio, the publication said. Now, her bio only has her children\u2019s names and links to her hair studio and childrenswear line.<\/p>\n<p>Jules Neale does not appear among the list of TGI Sport\u2019s talent profiles, while Lachie does.<\/p>\n<p>Country escape<\/p>\n<p>It comes after the other woman embroiled in the Neales\u2019 marriage drama shared bikini-clad photos of a serene Christmas getaway on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Former friend of the Neales\u2019, Tess Crosley, is seen lounging by the pool and enjoying sweeping hinterland views from a private estate in Northern NSW in a gallery of photos posted to Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Crosley shared the snaps alongside the song Burn, Burn, Burn by Zach Bryan, which talks about reconnecting with the simple things in life and living authentically with few but genuine friendships.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrics include the line: \u201cMy exes hate me and my friends all miss me, I wanna drown in rot gut whiskey, leave this small town for awhile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crosley\u2019s husband Ben, whom she married in 2017, does not appear in any of the images. Her wedding ring also appears to be absent.<\/p>\n<p>Jules and Crosley no longer follow each other on social media, with a recent post suggesting they are not on speaking terms.<\/p>\n<p>In a since-deleted comment, Jules told Crosley to delete photos on Instagram that showed her with two-time Brownlow Medallist Lachie following his team\u2019s grand final win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake these (pictures) down, you idiot you\u2019re embarrassing yourself,\u2019\u2019 Jules wrote.<\/p>\n<p>While that comment is no longer there, the pictures of the Neales, Crosley and her husband Ben after the Lions\u2019 grand final win, remain on Crosley\u2019s Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>There is no suggestion of wrongdoing on Crosley\u2019s part.<\/p>\n<p>Crosley, Lachie and the Brisbane Lions are all yet to make a public comment.<\/p>\n<p>Read related topics:<a class=\"topic_tag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/topics\/adelaide\" data-tgev-container=\"story-topic-links\" data-tgev-label=\"Adelaide\" data-tgev-order=\"1\" data-tgev-metric=\"npv\" data-tgev=\"event10\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adelaide<\/a><a class=\"topic_tag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/topics\/brisbane\" data-tgev-container=\"story-topic-links\" data-tgev-label=\"Brisbane\" data-tgev-order=\"2\" data-tgev-metric=\"npv\" data-tgev=\"event10\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brisbane<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale was seen back in his home state of South Australia at the weekend,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-375797","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-afl","8":"tag-afl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-australian-football-league","12":"tag-australianfootballleague","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
