Lachie Neale has been seen with his rumoured new girlfriend Emma Field for the first time following reports he had 'moved on' after the dramatic collapse of his marriage to his now-estranged wife Jules.

The AFL star, 33, and the glamorous brunette were spotted at Brisbane Airport after a trip to Melbourne, where his team, the Brisbane Lions, played on Saturday night.

The pair looked comfortable in each other's company as they collected their luggage, chatting away while sharing their Boost Juice drinks.

Lachie wore his team's colours, pairing navy shorts with a long-sleeved maroon club polo and a yellow Lions cap.

He completed the look with black slippers and white socks, with his Lions premiership tattoo visible on his ankle.

Meanwhile, Emma opted for an all-black ensemble, wearing an oversized hoodie and leggings with black sneakers.

She carried two large black bags over her shoulders and wore her long brunette hair loose.

Emma smiled and laughed with Lachie as they made their way through the airport terminal. 

The sighting comes after The Daily Telegraph reported that Lachie had moved on with Emma after his highly publicised split with wife Jules.

The footy star has largely kept his private life out of the spotlight since the former couple separated late last year, but is understood to have told friends he is now seeing somebody.

Emma was also pictured with a female friend in the stands at the Gabba during the Lions' Round 20 clash last month.

She is also believed to have travelled to Perth one week earlier, when the Brisbane Lions faced the West Coast Eagles.

Eagle-eyed followers have also noticed Lachie has liked several of Emma's Instagram photographs. 

Emma reportedly works in advertising and is said to have recently discussed the possibility of transferring to Melbourne.    

Neither Lachie nor Emma has publicly confirmed the reported relationship.

The development comes as speculation continues to surround Neale's own football future.

The unrestricted free agent is reportedly  keen on a move to Victoria next season following seven years with Brisbane, and Collingwood is considered to be leading the race for his signature.

Lachie and Jules announced their separation in November after the former WAG claimed she had been betrayed 'in the most unimaginable way'.

Their marriage breakdown became the subject of intense public scrutiny amid allegations involving Jules' former close friend Tess Crosley.

Lachie subsequently acknowledged responsibility for the split, but did not provide details about what had occurred. 

He stepped down as Brisbane co-captain in January and apologised while accepting the consequences of his behaviour.

The former couple have continued co-parenting their two children, Piper, four, and Freddie, one.

Jules, 36, returned to her hometown of Perth with the children before Christmas and recently purchased a house there.
