Jules Neale shares update after AFL star Lachie Neale confirms split

Jules Neale appears to be focusing on herself and her happiness in the wake of her marriage breakdown with AFL star Lachie Neale.

On Friday, Lachie confirmed his split from his wife and addressed his decision to quit his co-captaincy, expressing that he is "extremely disappointed in [himself]".

Just hours later, Jules shared a post to Instagram hinting that she's prioritising time with her girlfriends and looking toward 2026 with optimism.

The post featured a video of Jules and her friends putting together vision boards for the new year.

"This is your sign to get the girls together and manifest your 2026 vibes," she captioned the post.

A closer look at the video reveals some of the things Jules and her friends hope to manifest in the new year.

Printed out on several pieces of paper were several aspirational phrases, including: "I am stepping into the most successful decade of my life"; "My family is healthy and happy" and "Money flows to me easily".

Luck and consistency also appeared to be popular themes among their 2026 dreaming session.

Jules and her friends enjoyed snacks and beverages as they got to crafting their vision boards.

The video was set to the tune of Natalie Cole's This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).

Her new post came hours after Lachie confirmed their split – something Jules alluded to herself on social media weeks prior.

Speaking to media on Friday, Lachie said: "I can confirm that, with regret, Jules and I have now separated".

"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," he continued.

"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.

"I'm extremely disappointed in myself, and I've put plans and measures in place to work on myself so I can be the best version of myself moving forward."

Journalists at the media scrum proceeded to ask Lachie about his private situation with one reporter asking, "Did you cheat on your wife?"

"No, I can't address those rumours," Lachie said in response.

Two weeks ago, Jules alluded to her marriage breakdown in a firm statement on her Instagram stories.

Her statement came 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.

"I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way," she continued.

"All I can do now is try to heal and do what's best for my children."

She concluded her post, writing: "Thank you for the love and support".

Jules and Lachie, a Brownlow Medallist, share two kids, their youngest Freddie is one and their daughter Piper is four.

They married in 2018.
