Jules Neale's career move following painful split from AFL star husband Lachie Neale

Jules Neale has shared her next move following her marriage breakdown with AFL star Lachie Neale.

The 36-year-old, who has relocated back to her hometown in Perth four months after their public split, revealed she's back "doing what I love" and returning to her salon as a hair stylist.

"Beautiful Perth clients, I'm back on the tools!" the mum-of-two announced on Instagram.

Jules revealed she has officially opened up her bookings and will be taking bookings as of June.

But right now, she appears to be out of office as she brings her "January vision board to life" with a girls trip to the Maldives.

As she made the announcement, Jules shared a series of pictures from her current getaway including a red bikini snap of the star drinking a cocktail by the pool.

"We've arrived in actual paradise," Jules said in a highlight reel posted to Instagram.

A second photo showed Jules standing solo on the beach. Her blonde hair waved in the breeze while she wore a yellow and brown polka dot swimsuit cover-up.

In another sunny snap, the star faced the camera with breathtaking turquoise waters behind her, posing in a plaid dress and brown cowboy hat.

Her estranged husband Neale, 32, remains in Brisbane and continues to play AFL for the Brisbane Lions.

Jules and Lachie, a Brownlow Medallist and former Brisbane Lions co-captain, share two young kids.

Their youngest Freddie is one and their daughter Piper is four. Freddie and Piper share time between both parents.

Prior to her hairdressing announcement, Jules signed with a talent management company One DayDream.

She has hinted prioritising time with her girlfriends and looking toward 2026 with optimism.

The pair's relationship broke down in December after she publicly claimed she had been "betrayed", in light of rumours about the couple's marriage.

Lachie then confirmed the separation while addressing the media in early January.

"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 said.

Lachie added that he had to "accept" the consequences of his actions, but was focused on rebuilding trust with Jules because the well-being of their children remained their biggest priority.

They married in 2018.
