Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills: The Promise Ring, The Wedding And The Baby Plans

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.  The Harry Potter spoof that became their first date, and the friend who convinced Georgie to go.  Why 'sober dating' – coffee and a walk, no alcohol required – helped them have the big conversations early.  The career-defining moment Georgie almost let slip past her, and the advice from mentor Virginia Trioli that changed her mind.  How they navigate long distances, competing careers and learning to communicate when it's hard.  Winning The Amazing Race Australia by 43 seconds – and the meltdown in Taiwan that nearly ended their run.  Georgie on her debut novel Over to You and the morning TV moment that inspired it.  Rob on the advice from an ex-military sniper that he still carries into his relationship.  What their future looks like, including the wedding that’s been almost five years in the making.  Over To You by Georgie Tunny is available now.
