When Rob "Millsy" Mills saw Georgie Tunny on ABC Breakfast in 2018, he did what any reasonable person would do: he Googled her, found their two mutual friends, and slid into her DMs. 

In this episode of The Australian Women's Weekly Love Stories, Georgie and Rob sit down with Tiffany Dunk to talk about the message Georgie left on read for three days, the Harry Potter spoof play that became their first date, and why 'sober dating' (coffee and a walk around the Botanical Gardens) might be the secret to a strong relationship. 

They open up about the realities of two demanding careers pulling them in different directions, the conversation with Georgie's mentor Virginia Trioli that helped her choose love over a job offer in Brisbane, and the unexpected gift of slowing down together while filming The Amazing Race Australia, which they won by just 43 seconds. 

Georgie also talks about her debut novel Over to You, set in the high-stakes world of morning television. Rob also reflects on the lessons he's learned working on his own projects exploring men's mental health – including a simple piece of advice from an ex-military sniper that he's never forgotten. And yes, they finally answer the wedding question: four and a half years into their engagement, is a date on the cards? 

Moments you’ll hear: 
How Rob spotted Georgie on ABC Breakfast, googled her, and slid into her DMs - and why she left him on read for three days.

Love Stories

Sports broadcaster Georgie Tunny and actor Rob "Millsy" Mills join Tiffany Dunk to share the love story that began with an Instagram DM, a three-day wait and a Harry Potter spoof play. They talk about long distance, big careers, winning The Amazing Race Australia together, and why their fairytale ending now looks a lot like Rob as a dad.
