Rachael Lee opens up about life after Braith Anasta and moving on with Bra Boy Evan Faulks

Three years after ending her engagement to NRL player Braith Anasta, Rachael Lee has opened up about co-parenting, her new career and life with beau Evan Faulks.

She was engaged to NRL player Braith Anasta before they abruptly ended their relationship in 2022 after a six-year romance.

Three years later, Rachael Lee has found a new love and is pursuing a new career.

“Life’s been amazing,” Lee told Saturday Confidential.

“I have two beautiful, happy, healthy kids and the most supportive partner. I feel truly blessed.

“It’s been a rocky few years for myself and the kids, but we’re stabilising and are super excited about our future.”

Rugby league great Anasta and Lee, who have a seven-year-old daughter Gigi, have spent the past few years navi­gat­ing the role of co-parenting.

“Co-parenting comes with its ups and downs, and a lot of agreeing to disagree,” she said.

“Braith has his own life and seems to be very happy, and I have my life and I’ve never been happier.

“Gigi is super amazing and thriving, and that’s our only concern when it comes to the co-parenting.”

Adding to the dynamic is that she has since moved on with Bra Boy Evan Faulks.

Just one year into the relationship, Lee is smitten.

“My relationship with Evan is so beautiful and deep and something I’ve never had before,” she said.

“I feel so beyond lucky to have him in mine, Addi and Gigi’s lives.

“Evan is such an honest, loyal and kind soul and a really great father and partner.

“He’s doing so many amazing things with his life, and I’m very proud of how far his come. We have really exciting future plans happening together.

Faulks is often touted as a “high-ranking Bra Boy” by the media – a title that doesn’t concern Lee.

“All I’ve seen heard and know about the Bra Boys is that they’re just a big community of families that look after one another and spend time with their family and friends,” she said.

“All the kids surf together. Gigi is getting into surfing now and loving it.”

Since leaving Jonathan Castano’s ACERO gym where she was an instructor, Lee has since become a qualified pilates instructor and is on the hunt for a studio

“I’ve done pilates for so many years and I just love it,” she said.

“I’ve trained in martial arts my whole life, too, so this now fits my lifestyle perfectly.”
