'Crying for an hour straight': Jules Neale opens up on 'trauma' days after Lachie's marriage admission

Jules Neale has shared a vulnerable moment on social media, days after her estranged ex, AFL player Lachie Neale, made an admission about their marriage.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the influencer, 36, shared a deeper insight into her healing journey as she reveaeld she'd undergone hypnotherapy to help with "trauma".

"Don't mind my appearance, I've just been crying for an hour straight," she said, before explaining, "...because I did hypnotherapy... and it was incredible.

"If anyone's dealing with anything emotionally, any kind of trauma or anything that you would go to normal talk therapy [or] traditional talk therapy for, maybe try hypnotherapy as well."

The mother-of-two continued: "I feel like that did a lot more for me in one session than talk therapy has before, it kind of delves a little bit deeper, I suppose. It was really incredible, so I just wanted to share that."

While she didn't go into detail about the "trauma" she was facing head-on, it has undoubtedly been a difficult year for the influencer.

Her marriage with Lachie, 32, broke down in December after the she publicly claimed she had been "betrayed", in light of rumours about the couple's marriage.

Within days of the statement, Jules added fuel to speculation about what caused the split when she commented on a now-deleted post on former friend Tess Crosley's Instagram page.

"Take these down, you idiot, you're embarrassing yourself," Neale wrote under photos that showed her former best friend celebrating Lachie Neale's Brisbane Lions AFL Grand Final last September.

Jules has since moved back to Perth with their children, Piper, four, and Freddie, one

On April 19, the Brisbane Lions player shared an inside look at what their parenting arrangement has been since the split with The Age.

"[It's] obviously tough not having the kids here, but I'm pretty lucky that Jules, their mother, allows me to come and go from Perth," he shared.

"I get Piper over here a fair bit … I am very fortunate that Jules has been very flexible with that, and I am able to go back to Perth with the club's blessing whenever I want.

"If I have to miss a day of training or whatever they are happy for that to happen. I am managing that pretty well so far."

In a few months, the footy star will be deciding which club he'll play for in 2027, amid his new family dynamic.

"For me, if it works well and everyone is happy – and the kids are the No.1 priority – and we think we can make it work playing here," he said of the club he was formerly co-captain of.

In December 2025, Jules set off a chain of events when she wrote in a social media post, "I want to make it very clear that I am not 'working through' anything.

"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."

The post led to Lachie stepping down from his position as co-captain of the Lions in January.
