Jules Neale has spoken out about what helped her get through her marriage breakdown with her AFL star husband Lachie.
The former WAG, 36, publicly announced her separation from Lachie, 33, in November, after speculation mounted that he had had an affair with their former friend Tess Crosley.
Jules has now revealed that her life is back on track after relocating from Brisbane to her home town of Perth, and says that the outpouring of public support she received meant the world to her.
‘It has meant so much to me. Honestly, it’s been really overwhelming… in the best way,’ Jules told news.com.au.
She said she had been regularly DM’d by people on social media who had shared their own stories with her, which made her feel less alone.
‘A lot of the messages are from mums or women who have gone through their own big life changes… I think there’s something really comforting about people connecting through shared experiences,’ she said.

‘I definitely don’t take that support for granted. I think when you share parts of your life online, especially during harder seasons, you never really know how people are going to respond.’
She also admitted that her new career as a content creator and influencer was going well, and keeping her in a positive headspace.
‘I really love the creativity of it. I also love that it gives me flexibility around the kids. Being a mum will always come first for me, so having work that allows me to balance both has been amazing,’ she said.
She finished by saying she was now focused on providing a strong and stable home life for her two children.
‘We are house hunting at the moment… really excited to start our next chapter,’ she said.
‘Overall, I think I’m just entering a chapter where I’m more confident in myself, the direction I want my life to go.’
Since returning to Perth following her split, Jules has quickly built a strong following with her beauty, lifestyle and wellness content, with her profile surging as more Australians discover her approach to health and her daily rituals.
It comes after Jules made a thinly veiled dig at her ex-husband Lachie as she embarks on a career as an influencer.

The former WAG shared a clip to Instagram in February promoting Elle Macpherson‘s WelleCo health supplements – and appeared to reference her split from the AFL star in the narration.
‘I used to be religious about my WelleCo routine. And then I got a little distracted along the way,’ Jules pointedly told her followers.
‘I stopped showing up for myself the way I used to. But lately, I have been fighting my way back.
‘There’s just something really powerful about rebuilding your glow quietly.’
Jules has moved back to Perth following the couple’s split, taking their two young children, Piper, four, and Freddie, one, with her.
She and Lachie split in November after she posted to Instagram that the Brisbane Lions star had ‘betrayed [her] in the most unimaginable way‘.
Lachie later admitted their split was a result of his actions, after rumours swirled about an affair with Jules’ former friend Tess Crosley.
The footy player did not go into specifics, but admitted the couple had separated.
