Lachie Neale<\/a> and new girlfriend Emma Field aren\u2019t letting critics get in the way of their blossoming romance. <\/p>\n

In a social media update<\/a> showcasing a busy few weeks of their relationship, the AFL star, 33, let slip his secret nickname for his other half Emma, 29. <\/p>\n

Lachie Neale and Emma Field are living their romance out in the open following the AFL player\u2019s high-profile split from wife Jules Neale. \u00a0Instagram\/@emfield<\/p>\n

Emma took to Instagram to share some snaps of her and Lachie spending time together over what she called \u201ca very fun couple of weeks\u201d. <\/p>\n

In one picture, the couple embraced and posed for the camera as they celebrated Lachie\u2019s AFL grand final win with the Brisbane Lions last Saturday. <\/p>\n

Another snap showed them taking in the sunshine while on an outdoor stroll. <\/p>\n

Lachie showed some love for his partner Emma in the comment section, sharing his sweet pet name for her as he wrote: \u201cEffy x\u201d. <\/p>\n

The simple comment amassed dozens of likes from their supporters. <\/p>\n

The pair initially kept their relationship low-key after Lachie\u2019s high-profile split from ex-wife Jules Neale in December 2025. <\/p>\n

The highly public fallout saw Jules move back to Perth with their children following infidelity allegations earlier this year. <\/p>\n

The Brisbane Lions player and his wife Jules split after she claimed he had betrayed her \u201cin the most unimaginable way\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rumours of infidelity between Lachie and Tess Crosley, who has been married to Lachie\u2019s friend Ben Crosley for 10 years, began circling soon after. <\/p>\n

A drawn-out scandal ensued and reached fever pitch when Jules and Crosley both sat down for tell-all podcast appearances<\/a> which were released within a day of one another.<\/p>\n

With the spectacle of the split of Lachie\u2019s previous relationship, the pair kept their romance out of the public eye, though Emma has been increasingly spotted by the footballer\u2019s side. <\/p>\n

During Saturday\u2019s AFL grand final, Emma celebrated from the crowd alongside friends<\/a>, taking selfies in the stands as Lachie took to the field. <\/p>\n

In photos shared from the stands, Emma was spotted showing ultimate support while wearing a customised jacket emblazoned with \u2018NEALE 9\u2019 across the back. <\/p>\n

Emma is an advertising professional from Queensland. She didn\u2019t have a public profile of her own until she began dating Lachie.<\/p>\n

Her social-media presence before being linked to the AFL star saw her share photos from travel, restaurants, social occasions and life with friends.<\/p>\n
