A newly single Jules Neale has spoken about her recent marriage breakdown to AFL star Lachie Neale, revealing her return home to WA earlier this month provided the \u201creset\u201d she needed to kickstart 2026.<\/p>\n

Landing in Melbourne alongside friend Gabby Morrone to attend the Australian Open, Neale told the Herald Sun<\/a> she was excited for her debut at the Aussie slam as she reflected on the difficult period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my first Australian Open and I\u2019m loving Melbourne\u2019s vibe in January, I\u2019m so excited to be here,\u2019\u2019 Neale said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes the last few months have been a lot but being back in Perth with family has really helped me reset for 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cGabby and I are sitting on centre court tonight watching, and honestly I\u2019m loving being back in Melbourne and watching another sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neale has been invited to sit court-side at Tuesday\u2019s night session as a VIP guest of champagne house Piper-Heidsieck.<\/p>\n

With temperatures tipped to reach upwards of 44C in the Victorian capital, Jules dressed light, rocking a baby pink corset and shorts by Melbourne designer Viktoria and Woods as she posed for pre-match photos from The Ritz Carlton.<\/p>\n

\u201cGirls just wanna have fun.. at the AO \ud83d\udc95,\u201d she captioned the images.<\/p>\n

Late last week, Jules was pictured enjoying a glass of wine with Lizzie Stock \u2014 the wife of Dockers player Andy Brayshaw \u2014 as well as another friend at a Perth restaurant.<\/p>\n

It came after the dual Brownlow medallist touched down at Perth Airport on Thursday night, declining to comment on the purpose of his trip.<\/p>\n

As the former couple continue their lives apart, a for-sale sign has been spotted at their former Brisbane residence.<\/p>\n

The luxury Hamptons-style home is expected to fetch up to $3.35 million, according to Domain\u2019s property value estimate.<\/p>\n

CEO Will Torres of Torres Property told PerthNow earlier this month he expected the home could be worth \u201csomething in the low to mid $3 millions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lachie and Jules purchased the newly renovated property, situated in one of Brisbane\u2019s peaceful eastern suburbs for $2.43 million in July 2022 at auction.<\/p>\n
