- What happened next would leave them embarrassed for years
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.’
NRLW and Jillaroos star Millie Elliott revealed the embarrassing date night incident on The Rush Hour on Triple M

Millie and Adam had known each other since they were kids and had just started dating when the incident happened
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.
Millie said if the couple could make it through that, they could make it through anything. And they are happily married to this day

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.
