The husband of Tess Crosley, Ben Crosley, has finally broken his silence following the highly publicized marriage breakdown involving his wife and Lachie Neale. In a recent Instagram post, Ben shared a series of stories, including a topless photo, from his stay in Bali, marking his first public appearance since the scandal emerged.
This comes as Tess Crosley, a practicing Mormon from Brisbane, found herself entangled in the Neale saga. The reports claimed that she had a falling out with Jules, her former close friend, due to an alleged betrayal within the Neales' marriage. As a result, Jules, a successful hairdresser and entrepreneur from Perth, removed all photos of Tess and her husband from her Instagram page.
The situation took a turn when Jules publicly criticized Tess for not deleting photos from the Brisbane Lions' grand final celebrations, which included both her and Lachie, the AFL club's former captain. This led to a series of events, including a welfare check by the Queensland Police at Tess and Ben's home, where they took possession of several items without disclosing further details.
Meanwhile, Lachie Neale, the star footballer, faced media scrutiny. He confirmed his separation from Jules, acknowledging his regret and apologizing for his actions. When asked about rumors of infidelity, Neale declined to comment. The Lions club also addressed the matter, stating that Neale was going through a challenging personal period and had stepped down as co-captain and from the leadership group.
Neale's future with the Lions remains uncertain, as his contract expires at the end of the 2026 season, and speculation arises about a potential return to Western Australia.
