- Lachie Neale and his wife have made an exciting announcement
- The pair were at the centre of a ‘kissing’ row
- They have seemingly moved on with an amazing update
Over one week on from the kissing row that set tongues wagging in footy, Lachie Neale and his wife Jules have made a surprise announcement.
Brisbane superstar Neale was at the centre of a saga after sharing a seemingly harmless kiss on the cheek with Channel 7 AFL commentator Abbey Holmes after the Lions played the Bulldogs in round 13.
Holmes interviewed an exhausted Neale, with them both leaning in for a quick kiss on the cheek after their chat was over.
The pair, who are friends off the pitch, have since sparked debate over whether the kiss was inappropriate or not, with some commentators believing it crossed a boundary.
But Holmes and Neale responded strongly to any criticism of the moment, with the presenter revealing that Jules had contacted her to check if she was all right following the outcry on social media.
Jules Neale … sent me a message this morning saying, ‘I hope you’re okay — this is ridiculous’,’ Holmes told News Corp.
‘I’m like, ‘Mate, I know. Lachie’s a friend of mine’.’
Neale added: ‘The fact that it’s been brought up a week later is a little bit strange. I didn’t really know about it until the other day. It’s sort of come as a bit of a surprise.’
