Another Brisbane Lions star embroiled in scandal as Jack Payne's ex-girlfriend Bronte Dagg confirms split in scathing post

Just days after it was reported that Brisbane Lions star Jack Payne had split from girlfriend Bronte Dagg, she has released a statement accusing him of alleged "infidelity".

Taking to her Instagram stories on Sunday, Dagg thanked those around her for their "support" before claiming that she broke up with the AFL star, 26, following what she claims was "a profoundly disloyal incident".

She added that she's trying to "move forward" but has asserted and claimed that the pair were in a serious relationship and were never "casual".

''I just wanted to say I'm extremely grateful for the love and support over the last few days," she wrote in her post.

''For clarity, this was a committed relationship, with clear long-term intentions that I ended after learning of his infidelity, through a profoundly disloyal incident.

''The relationship was never 'on and off' or 'casual' by any means.

''I've had time to reflect and can genuinely say I've moved forward and have thoroughly enjoyed the extra time with my friends and family and will continue to do so. Bronte xx.''

Nine.com.au has reached out to the Brisbane Lions, his management and Payne for comment in relation to this article and is not suggesting the allegations are true, only that they have been made.

Last week, The Daily Telegraph's Confidential reported that Payne and Dagg had split after eight months together.

A source claimed to the publication that the split came after alleged "major betrayal".

It comes after Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale, 32, confirmed his split from wife Jules Neale in a statement.

Earlier this month, the Brisbane Lions also confirmed that Neale was standing down as co-captain of the club.

"I can confirm that, with regret, Jules and I have now separated," Neale said in his statement.

"I have let my family down, and I apologise for my actions which have hurt those closest to me. For that I am deeply sorry.

"I accept this is a consequence of my actions, and I need to focus on rebuilding that trust with Jules as the future wellbeing of our children remains our number one priority," he added in part.

"No, I can't address those rumours," he added when asked about "cheating" claims.

Jules previously shared a statement on Instagram, in response to a report that the pair were "working through" private issues.

"I want to make it very clear that I am not 'working through' anything," she wrote in her post.

"I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way. All I can do now is try to heal and do what's best for my children."

"Thank you for the love and support. x Jules."
