Lachie Neale photographed as he touches down at Perth Airport following public split from Jules

Lachie Neale has touched down in Perth, where his former wife Jules and their children are now living, following the Brisbane Lions star’s alleged cheating scandal. Just before 9.30pm on Thursday, the Brownlow medallist was seen leaving Perth Airport wearing a white T-shirt, blue cap and brown sweatpants. The Brisbane Lion continued to tip his hat over his face to avoid being seen. When asked whether he would be visiting Jules or his children while in Perth, Neale declined to comment. Other men waiting at the baggage carousel could be heard shouting: “Don’t tell them anything, Lach.” Neale did not appear to be wearing his wedding ring, but the screensaver on his phone still showed an image that appeared to be of his estranged wife Jules Neale. The visit comes just one day after the former power couple’s multimillion-dollar Brisbane home hit the market. A for-sale sign appeared on the lawn of their two-storey Seven Hills mansion on Wednesday, with the property set to be listed through McGrath Real Estate. The Hamptons-style luxury home could fetch up to $3.35 million, according to Domain’s property value estimate. Neale and Jules purchased the newly renovated property for $2.43 million at auction in July 2022. The sale follows Jules’ December statement in which she shut down speculation she was working through marriage issues, instead revealing she had been “betrayed in the most unimaginable way”. It is believed the “betrayal” referenced relates to an alleged affair between Neale and Jules’ close friend Tess Crosley. Neale has not confirmed infidelity but did issue a public apology, saying: “I have let my family down and I apologise for my actions that have let down those that are closest to me.” Following the public fallout, Jules relocated to Perth with the couple’s two young children. The hairdresser and influencer appears to be moving forward, sharing a series of upbeat posts on social media this week surrounded by friends and family. Since returning online, Jules has been flooded with support, repeatedly labelled a “queen”, with followers declaring “the whole of Australia is rooting for you”. Her social media comeback also saw her embraced by Australia’s WAG and influencer elite. On Tuesday — just hours before her first Instagram post — Perth-based talent agency One Daydream announced Jules had officially joined its books.
