Jules Neale cut a very downcast figure this week when she was spotted back in Brisbane in the wake of her painful split from her AFL star husband Lachie Neale.
Rumours broke in December that her marriage to the Brisbane Lions star was on the rocks, with Jules taking to social media to write that she had been ‘betrayed’.
Jules, 35, who reportedly returned to her native Western Australia to be with family over Christmas, returned to Brisbane this week.
A day after being spotted loading her car with moving boxes, the WAG tried to console herself with a morning coffee on Tuesday.
Jules cut a casual figure for her outing, stepping out in a plain white tank top and a pair of blue jean shorts with a frayed hem.
Finishing her look with a pair of black thongs, Jules’ summery vibe belied the glum expression she was sporting for the duration of the outing.

She stopped off at a local café for a morning pick-me-up and was seen wistfully looking off into the distance, as she waited for her beverage, possibly contemplating her next move.
Meanwhile, the garage of her Brisbane home was packed to the rafters with moving boxes while a box trailer sat outside the house, waiting to cart the boxes away.
The sighting comes after the heartbroken WAG’s car was filled to the brim with moving boxes on Monday as she was seen for the first time since news of her high-profile marriage breakdown became public.
Accompanied by her father during a trip to a Carindale, Queensland shopping centre, Jules appeared tense – and her wedding finger was notably missing a gold band.
Jules’ father helped her load her sizeable cases into the back of the SUV, which was already heaving with freshly taped-up moving boxes and large stuffed toys encased in protective plastic bags.
The boxes were marked with ‘fragile’ labels and the logo of Ben Moves Brisbane – described as ‘Brisbane’s most trusted furniture removalists.’
The blonde was dressed casually in revealing activewear for the occasion, but wore a glum expression throughout the outing, at some points staring off wistfully into the middle distance as she wheeled along her bulky luggage.
It comes as the Mormon missionary at the centre of AFL golden boy Lachie’s marriage split has stunned her conservative church by openly embracing the media glare.

Married mother-of-one Tess Crosley, 29, was seen without her wedding ring on Monday as she collected some possessions from her family home in Brisbane.
She is understood to be staying with her parents at their Gold Coast home as the row rages over her role in the love split between Neale and his wife Jules, who was previously best friends with Ms Crosely.
Rather than retreat from view, Ms Crosley posted bikini shots on Instagram, stunning devout members of her Church of Latter-day Saints faith.
Her Christmas Day ‘thirst trap’ snaps from an exclusive retreat in Byron Bay’s hinterland have sparked outrage among traditionalists.
Last week, Jules launched a remarkable public attack on Tess, demanding she remove Instagram photos of the Brisbane Lions’ recent grand final celebrations.
The post in question featured multiple images from grand final day and the celebrations following Brisbane’s back–to–back premiership win, with several photos showing Jules and Lachie on the field and inside the sheds celebrating with friends.
The now-deleted comment, which was captured in screenshots, shows Jules writing: ‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself.’
Jules recently revealed the breakdown of her marriage – denying news reports she was ‘working through’ issues with Lachie and instead alleged that she had been ‘betrayed in the most unimaginable way’.
Meanwhile, the garage of her Brisbane home was still packed to the rafters with moving boxes while a box trailer sat outside the house, waiting to cart the boxes away.

She did not specify what that entailed.
‘I want to make it very clear that I am not ‘working through’ anything,’ she wrote.
‘I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.
‘All I can do now is to heal and do what’s best for my children,’ she continued.
Within hours of posting the statement, Jules deleted every photo of Lachie from her Instagram account, erasing more than a decade of memories, while a moving truck was spotted parked in the driveway of the couple’s Brisbane home.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess.
Neither party has made any public comment on the situation.
Jules and Lachie share two children, four–year–old daughter, Piper, and son Freddie, born in December 2024.
