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.
