Lachie Neale's new girlfriend Emma Field put on a brave face in Brisbane on Thursday as the AFL star's prolific dating life once again comes under the spotlight following his split with his wife Jules.
Lachie, 33, and Emma's romance became public knowledge earlier this month when they were spotted together at Brisbane Airport, with some noting that Emma bears a striking resemblance to Tess Crosley – the woman at the centre of his marriage split with Jules, 36, seven months ago.
Since then, Lachie has been accused of sliding into the DMs of several other women, including two who are dead lookalikes of the mother of his children – the sister of a PGA golfer and a Melbourne socialite named Mim Hoyle.
Despite the claims, Emma, 29, looked nonchalant during an early morning coffee run.
The brunette beauty rugged up against the chilly morning air with some very form-fitting leggings and an oversized Cole Buxton jumper which retails for $294.
Carrying a coffee cup and her mobile, Emma hid her eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses.

It comes after Emma and Lachie were spotted having a tense brunch on Saturday on the same day fresh reports surfaced about his colourful dating life.
Things kicked off on Friday when the Daily Mail revealed that a PGA golfer had claimed on social media that Lachie was sliding into his sister's DMs as recently as two weeks ago.
Claims then emerged overnight in the Herald Sun that the former Brisbane skipper had also been trying to woo Melbourne society girl Mim Hoyle.
He appeared to have been messaging Mim around the same time he was courting Emma, with leaked messages he allegedly sent to her also coming to light.
The alleged texts suggested he may have had something serious in mind.
'Best way to put it is that I can tell already that I don't want to catch up with you just once or twice and I don't want you to think that's what I would be like with you,' Lachie is said to have texted Mim.
A former AFL WAG who claimed to be close to Mim – who coincidentally is another Jules lookalike - slammed Lachie for trying to court her friend.
'All is always forgiven in the bro world of football,' they told the Herald Sun. '[Women] just become collateral damage and his messiness impacts them.'

When the Daily Mail reached out to Lachie's manager, Tom Petroro, regarding the report about Lachie and Mim, he said his client would not be commenting on the matter.
Despite the unflattering reports in the Melbourne press, Lachie appeared carefree as he stepped out with Emma over the weekend, though she looked noticeably unimpressed at one stage.

Lachie appears to be among her biggest fans, having liked a string of her racier posts. The couple, of course, also follow each other on social media.
Before swapping makeup brushes for beach clubs, Emma ran a mobile beauty business with her sister Jamie in their hometown of Wangaratta in regional Victoria, where her relationship with Lachie is said to be the talk of the town.
Interestingly, Lachie isn't the only one to have taken notice of Emma.

'Every casting producer follows her [on Instagram],' one insider said.
'They were obviously keen to get her on a show like MAFS, but I'm not sure if it ever went beyond sliding into her DMs.'
When a friend recently broached the topic, Jules is said to have responded with words to the effect of, 'Good luck to her,' before declining to elaborate further.
