not live here anymore,\u201d he told the publication.<\/p>\n<p>The address is just a three-minute-drive to the Neale\u2019s former family home in Seven Hills. <\/p>\n<p>Police recently attended the

car.<\/p>\n<p>After debating what to do, the woman sought advice from another player\u2019s partner and then decided to break the news to Jules.<\/p>\n<p>Neale addressed the drama earlier this month where he also announced he was standing down from his position as co-captain of the club. <\/p>\n<p>With questions lingering surrounding the breakdown of the marriage, Neale was asked bluntly during his press conference if he had cheated on his wife, to which he responded: \u201cNo I can\u2019t address those rumours\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He answered another question by saying he has \u201cregrets\u201d about his personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The saga erupted when Jules responded to a report she and Lachie were experiencing marriage problems.<\/p>\n<p>She has also done a major purge of her Instagram account, removing photos of her and the Neales celebrating Brisbane\u2019s grand final victory over Geelong in September.<\/p>\n<p>Tess became embroiled in the saga in late December after it was reported she fell out with Jules.<\/p>\n<p>Jules commented on a recent Instagram post of Tess, calling her out for not deleting the pictures of the Brisbane Lions\u2019 grand final celebrations in September, which contained both her and Lachie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake these (pictures) down, you idiot you\u2019re embarrassing yourself,\u2019\u2019 Jules wrote in a comment that has since been deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Tess has not been seen wearing her wedding ring since she was implicated in the Neales\u2019 marriage breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>Ben earlier took to Instagram this week to declare he is \u201cstarting 2026 right\u201d in Bali.<\/p>\n<p>He posted a number of stories, including a topless picture of himself with friends, on the popular holiday island as they train at luxury gym Bambu Fitness in Uluwatu.<\/p>\n<p>He has also been spotted without a wedding ring on his finger this month. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tess Crosley no longer lives with husband Ben.
