Jules Neale reveals she is going to keep her surname despite troll comments following her split from AFL star ex-husband Lachie

Jules Neale has revealed why she intends to keep her estranged husband Lachie's surname despite pressure from trolls. 

The 36-year-old made a rare appearance on influencer Adelle Petropoulos's Pretty Sure podcast this week to discuss the fallout from her marriage breakdown after discovering Lachie's affair with her best friend Tess Crosley. 

While Jules confirmed that she had laser-removed the 'L' tattoo dedicated to Lachie from her wrist, she will be keeping the Neale surname for now. 

'My most popular troll comment is about keeping my last name,' Jules revealed. 

'I'm going to keep it for now, I don't know what the future looks like for me, but for now it makes sense to keep it.' 

Jules explained that having the same last name as her two children was very important to her.

'And having the same last name as two people [my children] who are the most important people in the world to me means far more to me than the judgement people put on me for keeping it,' she added. 

Jules isn't the only WAG who has decided to keep their married name following the breakdown of their marriage. 

Both Phoebe Burgess and Nadia Bartel have kept their ex-husbands' surnames following their respective divorces from Sam Burgess and Jimmy Bartel. 

Both women have since confirmed the reason for doing so is because they want to have the same surnames as their children.  

Elsewhere in her interview, Jules spoke candidly about the painful end of her marriage to Lachie, claiming the AFL star had been unfaithful with at least two women.

She described discovering his alleged affair with Tess as 'the worst feeling in the world' and said it left her questioning everyone around her.

'You just question everything. You're like, 'Who knows about this? Am I the only person that doesn't know?'' she said.

Jules said she was initially told about an alleged kiss between Lachie and Tess, but later learned she believed it had become a secret four-month relationship.

She also claimed it was not the first time she had faced allegations of Lachie's infidelity, revealing she had previously received an 'awful 'hey girlie' DM with receipts'.

'The worst day of my life. I didn't leave bed for four days,' she said.

Jules said she initially chose to stay in the marriage because she believed the earlier incident was a one-off and she did not want to break up her family.

However, she said the latest alleged betrayal made her realise the relationship could not continue.

'It was immediately apparent that this was going to continue. It wasn't a one-off mistake,' she said.

'If you could do something like this after that, it'll keep happening for the rest of my life.'

Jules also shut down speculation that she and Lachie had been in an open relationship or involved in a swinging arrangement with Tess and her husband Ben.

'Definitely not in an open relationship and definitely not swinging,' she said.

'If we were swinging, I wouldn't have packed up my kids and left over a kiss.'

Lachie has not publicly responded to the allegations made by his estranged wife during the podcast interview.

Tess will be speaking in her first tell-all interview, revealing her side of the story with Daily Mail's The Debrief with Savanna Young on Thursday.
