Style Magazine<\/a> in an interview published in November.<\/p>\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got a bigger purpose, and you just want to make them proud.\u201d He admits balancing family life with professional sport can be tricky, crediting Jules as the stabilising force in the family. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m probably a little bit selfish in my habits, striving to be the best I can be, and Jules is very good at allowing me to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jules replied: \u201cIt\u2019s funny when he says that, because I don\u2019t see it as selfish.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything he does to be the best is for our family. That\u2019s what lets us live this beautiful life. I\u2019m super happy to let him do what he needs to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout footy, I wouldn\u2019t have my kids. I wouldn\u2019t have Jules. It\u2019s given me so much,\u201d Neale said after winning two consecutive premierships with the Lions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I first started, I thought success was playing AFL, then winning a Brownlow, then a premiership.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cBut nothing ever really satisfies you. If you\u2019d asked me when I was a kid, I\u2019d have said what I\u2019ve already achieved is success. But you\u2019re always searching for what\u2019s next. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo now, I think it\u2019s about the memories and the relationships you\u2019ve formed. Those people are gonna be the ones who\u2019ll still be there for you after footy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRelationships are success,\u201d Jules said in the interview, which was accompanied by a video campaign promoting Brisbane airport, showing the couple walking through the terminal holding hands and looking loved up as they browse shops.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what binds everything together \u2013 being a good parent, a good friend, a wife, a daughter. Without good relationships and good people around you, everything crumbles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jules has since wiped the two-time Brownlow Medal winner from her Instagram page, with all photos of the pair deleted.<\/p>\n
Jules commented on a recent Instagram post of Crosley, calling her out for not deleting the pictures of the Lions\u2019 grand final celebrations in September, which contained both her and Lachie.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake these (pictures) down, you idiot you\u2019re embarrassing yourself,\u2019\u2019 Jules wrote, in a comment that has since been deleted.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday, pictures of the couples spending time together, including the celebrations that followed the Lions\u2019 grand final win, remain on Crosley\u2019s Instagram and TikTok pages.<\/p>\n
A photo drop from Crosley in November also shows the couples and their children enjoyed a beachside a holiday together recently.<\/p>\n
Those images showed the couples frolicking with their children in the sand. One image showed Jules and Crosley posing for a photo together with their toes in the water.<\/p>\n
Crosley\u2019s recent Instagram posts have all had comments turned off.<\/p>\n
Social media sleuths have also uncovered another social media post that has raised eyebrows. <\/p>\n
Crosley in June shared a video of herself, husband Ben Crosley, Lachie Neale and Julie Neale performing a TikTok trend together. <\/p>\n
The clip shows the couples performing the \u201cHope our husbands like each other\u201d gag. <\/p>\n
The eight second video starts with Jules mimicking the phrase: \u201cI hope our husband\u2019s get along\u201d. <\/p>\n
Crosley, who is married with one son, then mimics the words \u201cme too\u201d before the camera cuts to a shot of Lachie and Ben with their arms linked drinking a cocktail. <\/p>\n
The video was shared when Lions players were given time off during the club\u2019s Round 16 bye week.<\/p>\n
The video has been flooded with comments from TikTok users with one posting: \u201cThis aged well\u201d.<\/p>\n
The video was captioned, \u201cFour best friends\u201d and included a heart emoji. <\/p>\n
You can watch the clip in the video player above.<\/p>\n
Crosley\u2019s post also included the Spanish text: \u201cCuatro Mejores Amigos queue Siempre Se Apoyan\u201d.<\/p>\n
The phrase translates to \u201cFour best friends who always support each other\u201d in English.<\/p>\n
Who is Tess Crosley?<\/p>\n
According to her LinkedIn profile, Crosley is a dental hygienist and also the co-founder of Evella Health, which produces environmentally friendly period products.<\/p>\n
Her LinkedIn bio reads: \u201cMy objective is to be a successful dental hygienist in the community. My interest includes sports, travelling and meeting new people. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am a dedicated hardworking individual who works well both on my own initiative and as part of a team. I enjoy working as part of a team to achieve goals as well as being motivated by working independently. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition I have great leadership skills which enable me to motivate my fellow team members through positive encouragement while still keeping a professional attitude when required.\u201d<\/p>\n
News.com.au has reached out to Crosley for comment.<\/p>\n
Crosley\u2019s most recent TikTok video, shared in November, has also been flooded with comments since Saturday. <\/p>\n
While Crosley\u2019s posts remain public, there is no evidence of their friendship on Jules\u2019 account.<\/p>\n
Jules and Lachie share two children, four-year-old Piper and a son Freddie, who was born in December 2024.<\/p>\n
She celebrated her son\u2019s first birthday last week with a series of photos shared with her Instagram followers.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old footballer did not feature in any of the photos.<\/p>\n
He is not visible in any of the pictures on her Instagram page, dating back to 2012.<\/p>\n
Her celebratory post last week did not reference her partner.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurning 1 today. This little man, and his beautiful big sister, have taught me what real love, courage, and joy look like,\u201d she posted.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the sweetest soul Freddie bear. Thank you for choosing me, for holding me up without even knowing it. I\u2019m so lucky to be your mumma and I love you beyond words x.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jules, in April, described their marriage as \u201csolid\u201d.<\/p>\n
She told The Sunday Mail: \u201cEvery relationship has different pressures, it\u2019s important to keep the outside noise out, in any relationship regardless of it being in the public eye, unfortunately, it\u2019s inevitable that people are going to have their own opinion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Lachie and I have a really solid relationship, which is all that really matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple showed no sign they were experiencing marriage issues when they appeared on the Brownlow Medal red carpet together in September.<\/p>\n
They were also arm-in-arm posing for photos together ahead of the Brisbane Lions\u2019 Club Champion awards night in October.<\/p>\n
While dealing with challenges away from football, Neale had a fairy tale year on the field.<\/p>\n
He battled a painful foot issue in the weeks leading up to the club\u2019s grand final victory over Geelong.<\/p>\n
Picked as the team\u2019s substitute, he kicked a second-half goal that had teammates celebrating wildly.<\/p>\n
The Lions also won the 2024 AFL premiership and are strong favourites to make it three in a row in 2026.<\/p>\n
He was recognised as the game\u2019s greatest player when winning the Brownlow Medal in 2020 and 2023.<\/p>\n
