NRL star Millie Elliott reveals what happened two weeks into dating
An NRL superstar has revealed the make or break moment with her now husband when the couple were just two weeks into dating. Millie Elliott — formerly known as Millie Boyle — who is currently expecting her first child with fellow NRL star husband Adam Elliott has revealed their relationship got off to a rocky start. Elliott, who typically plays for the Sydney Roosters, was speaking on Triple M's The Rush Hour about how the pair grew up together on the New South Wales South Coast. 'But about two weeks into us dating we went to Miami Marketta,' she said, referring to a popular night market in Queensland. 'I got a green chicken curry, which I'll say I've never had a green chicken curry since. And I sh*t the bed — three times in one night.' She said she'd never had food poisoning so severe in her life. But the Jillaroos star said she didn't 'feel that bad' as it was 'so out of her control'. 'And then it was to the stage where I was just crawling from the shower to the toilet. And I thought, 'You know what, if we can get through this, we can get through anything',' she said. 'And look at us. Happy as ever.' She said she initially shared the piece of information with her co-hosts in confidence but they pushed for her to share it on the show. Her Newcastle Knights player husband tuned in to the show, taking to the comment section to have his say on the situation. 'Tbh three could be a porky I stopped counting,' he commented. And, it turns out the couple isn't the only one to have found love in this way. 'I have a very similar story! Well done,' one said. Another tagged their mate, commenting; 'It is normal see.' The couple announced they were expecting their first baby together, due in September, ahead of the Australia v England match in Las Vegas in March — meaning she was set to miss the 2025 season. Elliott informed officials two weeks ago that she and her husband were expecting a baby in September and while she won't be in action on the footy field in 2025, she plans to return after she has recovered from childbirth. 'We're really excited and looking forward to the next chapter,' she told Code Sports at the time. 'At the end of last season, we decided it would be nice to have a baby. We're very grateful we've reached this stage of the pregnancy.' Elliott has continued to do her media work for Channel 9 and intends to honour the final two years of her contract with the Roosters in 2026 and 2027. Elliott's husband, Adam, has five-year-old son Lennox from a previous relationship.

Footy star reveals the VERY unhygienic and embarrassing thing she did in bed THREE TIMES when she started dating NRL hard man
Rugby league star Millie Elliott has revealed an awkward and unforgettable moment from the early days of her relationship with husband Adam Elliott. Speaking candidly on Triple M's The Rush Hour, Millie shared the story with good humour and brutal honesty, admitting she 's*** the bed three times in one night' just two weeks into dating Adam. 'I have known Adam for a very long time,' she told listeners. 'We actually grew up together on the South Coast.' The pair reconnected in 2021 and quickly became one of rugby league's most recognisable couples. But things didn't exactly start smoothly. 'Two weeks into Adam and I dating, we went to Miami Marketta,' she said, referring to a night market on the Gold Coast. 'I got a green chicken curry - and I've never had one since.' That dinner triggered one of the worst nights of her life. 'I s*** the bed three times in one night,' she admitted. 'I just thought, what is happening? We're two weeks into dating.' Despite the embarrassment, Millie found herself laughing about the ordeal. 'I have never had food poisoning that bad ever in my life.' 'It got to the stage where I was crawling from the shower to the toilet. Just crawling. 'If we can get through this, we can get through anything. And look at us now - happy as ever.' Her husband posted on the Instagram video of the revelation, saying it could have been more than three times. 'Tbh 3 could be a porky, I stopped counting,' he joked. The couple's love story began in 2021 and quickly caught public attention after an incident at a Gold Coast restaurant led to Adam's exit from the Canterbury Bulldogs. Despite the headlines, their relationship strengthened, and Millie captioned a photo at the time: 'Lost a milli. Gained a Millie.' In October 2022, Adam proposed on the beach with a ring based on his great-grandmother's. They married a year later at Shoal Bay Country Club, jumping off the pier in their wedding attire. In early 2025, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. The news was shared in a joyful beachside video filmed by Adam's young son. Millie Elliott, formerly Boyle, has built an extraordinary rugby league career of her own. She debuted with the Brisbane Broncos in 2019 and won back-to-back NRLW titles. She then captained the Newcastle Knights to their maiden title in 2022. In 2024, she joined the Sydney Roosters and clinched her fourth premiership, becoming the first NRLW player to win titles with three different clubs. Currently, Millie is taking a 12-month break from the game as she prepares for motherhood. She remains active in the sport as a Channel 9 presenter and Westpac ambassador. Her plan is to return to the NRLW in 2026 to honour her contract with the Roosters.

Bay Area firefighters prepare for early wildfire season ahead of Red Flag Warning
The Brief Hundreds of firefighters from across California gathered in Santa Rosa over the weekend for the three-day Fire Nuggets NorCal Conference. The conference focuses on the latest firefighting technologies and tactics, including the use of thermal imaging cameras. The training comes just as the National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for Solano County and parts of the Sacramento Valley. SANTA ROSA, Calif. - More than 500 firefighters from across California gathered in Santa Rosa this weekend for a major training event. The three-day Fire Nuggets NorCal Conference focused on the latest firefighting technologies and tactics, including the use of thermal imaging cameras, under the guidance of some of the nation's top instructors. "It's kind of a who's who within the modern fire service, so being able to get trained by them is super beneficial," said Adam Elliott, a captain with the Livermore Fire Department. Why you should care The training comes as firefighters across the Bay Area are gearing up for what could be an intense wildfire season, as vegetation fires have already begun sparking across the region. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Solano County and parts of the Sacramento Valley beginning Sunday morning. "We've already seen some of the products from the National Weather Service, looking at above-average conditions for wildfires much earlier this season than we typically see, so all that together, isn't necessarily to scare our community, it's to let them know what the conditions are like," said Santa Rosa Fire Marshal Paul Lowenthal. "Hopefully they'll start adhering to the defensible space, maintaining vegetation management, weed abatement, and just be generally prepared a little bit earlier than they typically would be." At Saturday's conference, the training largely emphasized structure fire tactics, which organizers said were increasingly relevant as wildfires begin encroaching on developed areas. "Often times there are structure fires taking place as wildland fires are taking place, and there are a lot of tactics that are learned during these training opportunities that play into large scale wildfires," said Lowenthal. Joe Schuler, co-organizer of the conference, demonstrated how thermal imaging tools assist crews. "It's got a screen on here, and it tells us what the temperature is right," said Schuler. "And [you're] able to locate hidden fires, as we call it." The technology is similar to the thermal systems used by CAL FIRE helicopters to combat wildfires at night. The Red Flag Warning is set to take effect at 8 a.m. Sunday and will remain in place through Monday evening. It covers Solano County and parts of the Sacramento Valley.

Millie Elliott's incoming baby may stop her from playing, but not the Origin feeling
Thursday night will have a similar feel for Millie Elliott despite playing a very different role. She will still do up her boots, have a mean look towards any Queenslander, even take the field wearing a bit of blue. But her pregnancy means the NSW enforcer will be carrying a microphone up the field instead of the classic Steeden. The front-rower missed her first Origin clash since 2019 last Thursday, and a very large part of her desperately wants to scratch that itch and represent her state. But she also knows having the year off to give birth to her first child is just as important. 'If this was retiring me, it would be a little different,' Elliott said. 'I'm going back to footy, and there are so many mums that have done the same thing, come back and play their best.' Elliott is just one of many NRLW stars who are currently pregnant, missing both State of Origin and the 2025 season. And upon reflection, she admits there is no right time for the female players to have children. 'I feel like it's never the right time no matter what you're doing, especially in rugby league,' Elliott said. 'You want to try and do it so it's not in the middle of the season. 'But my husband (Adam) is also a player, so trying to find the right balance that works for both of us is how we try and manage it.' Taking the field as a commentator for Nine's coverage of the State of Origin, Elliott has used her time away from the field to transition into a media personality. Not only working on various rugby league programs across Nine, Elliott also hosts the Say Less podcast with Roosters teammates Keeley Davis and Olive Kernick. Never having the ambition to head into the media while playing, the 26-year-old is trying to keep as busy as possible, before her child is expected in September. 'I don't like being bored, I always like being busy,' she said. 'I love being productive and around people, so whether that's on the footy field or in another work environment, it's something I enjoy doing. 'There is going to be plenty of downtime when the baby comes.' The one person excited for the downtime and the arrival of the newborn is her partner, Knights lock Adam. With Millie on the road more often than not for her new media gig, husband Adam has been left to hold down the fort alone in Newcastle. Many will remember the scenes of Adam watching Millie win her inaugural NRLW premiership with Newcastle, and despite her not playing at the moment, the 30-year-old still watches on proud of her new journey. 'He loves it,' Millie said. 'My success is his success and he is always proud of me and pushes me to do whatever I want to do. 'He is on his own often but we know it's for a bigger reason than right now.'

NRL world showers glamour couple with messages after massive announcement
Rugby League glamour couple Millie and Adam Elliott have been showered with love and congratulatory messages after revealing they are expecting a first child together later this year. The couple tied the knot at the end of the NRL season in 2023, with a host of their teammates and sporting personalities attending the beach ceremony on the Central Coast. And now the footy golden couple have decided to start a family together, with Roosters NRLW star Millie confirming that she is expected to give birth to their first baby in October. "We're really excited and looking forward to the next chapter," Millie told News Corp. "At the end of last season we decided it would be nice to have a baby. We're very grateful we've reached this stage of the pregnancy (12 weeks)." The NRLW star says she plans to put her footy career on hold for 12 months, but will continue to perform her media duties for free-to-air league broadcaster, Nine. Millie says after taking a year off from footy, she intends to honour the final two years of her NRLW contract with the Roosters in 2026 and 2027. The 26-year-old NRLW side says she's "extremely grateful" for the support her club and the NRL have extended her, with billionaire Roosters chairman Nick Politis quick to send his congratulations to the happy couple. "We're all so happy for Millie and Adam,' Politis said. It's a wonderful thing that rugby league has a structure in place where female athletes can start a family, take the time off, but then return when they are ready to play out their contracts." Millie was a notable absentee from Australia's Jillaroos squad that is in Las Vegas as part of the NRL's blockbuster double-header to open the new season. However, her reason for not travelling to the United States has now become clear, with the league world inundating the couple with messages after they confirmed the incredible news on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MILLIE ELLIOTT (@millie_boyle) Fellow NRLW stars Jaime Chapman and Emma Tonegato were among those to send their love. "So happy for you fam," Chapman wrote alongside a series of love heart emojis, while Tonegato replied: Congrats Mills! So happy for you guys." Channel Nine rugby league presenter Danika Mason described it as "the best news" and Nine colleague Allana Ferguson added: "Get this baby in my arms! Congrats team." While Millie isn't in Vegas for the Jillaroos' historic Test against England, she'll know doubt be watching closely to see how new coach Jess Skinner goes in her first match in charge of the Aussie women's team. The match will be the first time in history that Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas has hosted a major women's sporting event. And Skinner takes charge after being a long-time assistant who was thrust into the top job when former Jillaroos coach Brad Donald was fired in the lead-up to the Test. Donald had come under scrutiny by the NRL for a disparaging comment made about a journalist in front of the playing group. Skinner has also been part of Newcastle's NRLW coaching staff and hopes to hold onto the top with the Jillaroos as they set about defending their title at the 2026 World Cup.

"She's awesome, I think it's just her personality and her cool, kind demeanour," Apps told AAP in Las Vegas. She's just being herself, she's not trying to be anyone else. She's just being the coach that she is. This was a great transition for her and we knew that she'd be up for it. Hopefully we can get a win for her and set her season up for a great start."
