Tess Crosley, the former friend of AFL star Lachie Neale and wife Jules, has continued to shrug off the drama over the festive season.
The former Mormon missionary recently found herself at the centre of a very public rift between AFL star Lachie Neale and his wife Jules in the wake of the high-profile couple’s marriage breakdown.
After spending a very relaxed Christmas Day in the company of family and friends, Tess kept the tranquil vibes going on Boxing Day. Â
Tess took to her Instagram Story on Friday to share a photo that showed her looking very serene as she posed poolside.
Reclining on a wooden chair, Tess put on a busty display in a skimpy brown two-piece bikini.
The sun-smart Tess also wore a straw cowboy hat that kept her raven locks from blowing in the breeze.

Tess also took to her grid to share another bikini shot alongside another photo dump of her family Christmas.
Standing in front of a bathroom mirror, Tess flaunted her lithe legs in a pair of very revealing G-string bikini bottoms.
Clearly chuffed with her summery fit, Tess captioned the image with a simple: ‘This,’ and a heart hands emoji.
However, possibly sensing blowback from followers given her recent drama, Tess turned off the comments on the post.   Â
It comes as photos emerged of the final holiday Jules and Lachie Neale enjoyed with their former friend Tess Crosley and her husband Ben before Jules and Tess had a very public falling out.
Hairstylist and influencer Jules, 35, on Monday launched a remarkable public attack on Tess, demanding she remove Instagram photos of the Brisbane Lions’ recent grand final celebrations.
‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself,’ Jules’ comment said, under photos showing Tess, a former Mormon missionary, with the star footballer.
The message has since been deleted and the former mates no longer follow each other on social media.

Images shared by Tess in November show her, Jules and their respective partners and children enjoying a recent coastal getaway
Jules recently revealed the breakdown of her marriage – denying news reports she was ‘working through’ issues with Lachie and instead alleged that she had been ‘betrayed in the most unimaginable way’. She did not specify what that entailed.
What is clear is that the pair’s relationship was not always so sour – with photos showing them spending time together still visible on her public social media pages as of Tuesday.
That included a carousel of photos of Tess, Jules and their respective partners and children enjoying a coastal getaway in November.
The group looked to be having a great time in each other’s company, with one photo showing the former friends, clad in bikinis and posing on the sand.
Meanwhile, a video uploaded to Tess’ TikTok in June, shows her, her husband Ben, Lachie and Jules taking part in a TikTok trend.
The clip shows the foursome performing the ‘hope our husbands like each other’ skit.
Jules is seen miming the phrase: ‘I hope our husbands get along’, before Tess jumps in with: ‘me too’.
The camera then cuts to a shot of Lachie and Ben with their arms interlocked drinking a cocktail. The clip was captioned: ‘Four best friends’.

The explosive post came after media reports suggested the high-profile couple were attempting to repair their marriage behind the scenes.
‘I want to make it very clear that I am not ‘working through’ anything,’ Jules wrote.
‘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,’ she continued.
Within hours of posting the statement, Jules deleted every photo of Lachie from her Instagram account, erasing more than a decade of memories, while a moving truck was spotted parked in the driveway of the couple’s Brisbane home.
Jules also lashed out at Tess, demanding she remove photos from the Brisbane Lions’ grand final celebrations from her social media.
The post in question featured multiple images from grand final day and the celebrations following Brisbane’s back-to-back premiership win, with several photos showing Jules and Lachie on the field and inside the sheds celebrating with friends.
The now-deleted comment, which was captured in screenshots, shows Jules writing: ‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself.’

Tess has also switched off comments on the post after members of the public flooded the account.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess.
Neither party has made any public comment on the situation.
Jules and Lachie share two children, four-year-old daughter, Piper, and son Freddie, born in December 2024.
