The Brisbane Lions have been plunged into fresh relationship drama after defender Jack Payne reportedly split from his model girlfriend Bronte Dagg.<\/p>\n

The AFL star and pre-med university student were believed to have called it quits in October after eight months together, The Daily Telegraph reported.<\/p>\n

A source close to Dagg told The Daily Telegraph<\/a> the breakdown allegedly came from a loss of trust and \u201cmajor betrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the grand final, she just thought something was going wrong,\u201d the source claimed.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Dagg ended the relationship.<\/p>\n

Dagg, who was a national finalist in Miss Universe Australia 2024, attended the Brisbane Lions best and fairest alongside Payne last year.<\/p>\n

The couple no longer follow each other on Instagram.<\/p>\n

It comes after new details emerged about the marriage breakdown of the Lions\u2019 star player Lachie Neale and his wife Jules.<\/p>\n

Jules reportedly found out about her husband\u2019s betrayal after the girlfriend of an unnamed footy player discovered him engaging with the couple\u2019s close friend Tess Crosley in a manner that jeopardised his relationship.<\/p>\n

Crosley first gained attention after Jules demanded she remove photos<\/a> of herself, Neale, and the Crosleys at the 2025 AFL Grand Final.<\/p>\n

Jules also posted a statement on Instagram addressing rumours that she and Neale were \u201cworking through\u201d issues in their seven-year marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to make it very clear that I am not \u2018working through\u2019 anything,\u201d Jules said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I can do now is to to heal and do what\u2019s best for my children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jules has since relocated back home to Perth with the former couple\u2019s children and Neale has since stepped down as the Brisbane Lions co-captain.<\/p>\n
