<\/p>\nJules Neale has thrown her support behind Tess Crosley\u2019s husband, Ben, as the pair continue to navigate their new lives after both of their marriages fell apart in a major scandal.<\/p>\n
Jules, a former friend of Tess, publicly said she had been \u201cbetrayed in the most unimaginable way\u201d and then called Tess an \u201cidiot\u201d on one of her photos where she was posing alongside Lachie following the Lions\u2019 premiership triumph. <\/p>\n
The fallout was fierce, leading the dual Brownlow medallist to step down from his Brisbane Lions co-captaincy, citing \u201cpersonal reasons\u201d, while Tess was named as the woman at the centre of the alleged affair, after a mutual friend allegedly caught the pair in a compromising position inside a car.<\/p>\n
While Ben and Jules have removed all traces of their former partners from their respective Instagram accounts, the pair continue to follow each other.<\/p>\n
And now the 36-year-old former AFL WAG has been spotted among those who gave Ben\u2019s latest Instagram post a like. <\/p>\n
In a carousel of images shared to social media by Ben, which included selfies and pictures with his young son, Jules\u2019 account was among the thousands who liked the post.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time Jules has shown support for Ben on social media, with the pair seemingly remaining on good terms following their marriage breakdowns.<\/p>\n
It comes after earlier this week, Tess was seen with her estranged husband for the first time since the alleged scandal involving Neale.<\/p>\n
The former couple refused to even look at each other during the frosty interaction on a quiet street in Brisbane during a handover of their three-year-old son.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tess sat behind the wheel of her black SUV, stony-faced and staring straight ahead as Ben walked his child to the car before walking away with not so much as an acknowledgment of one another.<\/p>\n
The sighting comes after months of speculation following the breakdown of the Neale marriage in late December.<\/p>\n
Ben, a finance director working for the Hong Kong-based New Heritage Investment company, has given a few hints that they have indeed separated.<\/p>\n
After marrying in 2017, Ben\u00a0told reporters outside their shared home in January that she \u201cdoes not live here anymore\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tess was then seen\u00a0packing up large boxes at the upscale home in February.<\/p>\n
She is also allegedly looking for love again,\u00a0joining an exclusive, referral-only dating app, Raya, earlier this month.<\/p>\n
In her dating profile, Crosley posted multiple glamorous photos of herself, including one wearing a revealing bikini.<\/p>\n
Her job description says, \u201cI\u2019m a mammii,\u201d while her bio is simply: \u201cTell me about you first x\u201d.<\/p>\n
