Wife of KIIS FM’s newest star reveals the very creepy way he pursued her: ‘Rang my doorbell at 2am’

Wife of KIIS FM's newest star reveals the very creepy way he pursued her: 'Rang my doorbell at 2am'

As an ardent fan of heartwarming love stories, I can’t help but be captivated by the tale of Corey Oates and his wife, Tegan Miles. This former NRL star certainly took an unconventional path to find his soulmate, a journey that could have ended with a public nuisance warning or a call to the police!


In today’s day and age, couples generally meet on dating apps such as Tinder or Hinge.

For ex-NRL star and radio host Corey Oates, the year brought experiences like ghosting and a close call with arrest, which eventually led him to meet his current spouse, Tegan Miles.

On Tuesday, Tegan openly shared an unsettling tale about how Corey, aged 30, had aggressively courted her, which she discussed with her new radio partner, Robin Bailey.

I’m thrilled to share that as of 2025, I’ve officially joined the Robin and Kip KIIS 97.3 FM breakfast team! Over the weekend, my gracious hosts Robin and Kip Wightman took the time to extend a warm welcome to my family, visiting us at our home.

Robin inquired about the beginnings of Corey’s long-term relationship with his spouse, who is also the mother of their two small kids, and was taken aback by her unexpected response.

Tegan shared with me the story of her initial encounter with 19-year-old Corey in the yogurt section of Ashgrove Woolworths, and it was there that their conversation began.

She remembered, “I spoke so much that I had to return my yogurt to the shelf and get a new one.

‘He was playing football, but he was very young. He would have been nineteen, so very, very young.

The duo became acquainted until Corey found out from a friend that Tegan’s father was the retired football star Gene Miles. This revelation caused Corey to cease their conversations.

For approximately a year after he figured something out, I didn’t receive any communication from him. I suspect he learned about it from someone else. All of a sudden, he became silent, leaving me puzzled, thinking, “What has occurred?

‘And then, yeah, twelve months later when he came back around…’ Tegan continued. 

Robin interjected to seek further explanation: ‘Could you please explain what you meant when you said “he came back around”? Were you implying that you met him again?’

‘He actually started ringing my doorbell at 2am one morning,’ she revealed. 

Eight times, the phone rang for me. Six messages were received, two Snapchats were sent. It wasn’t until I opened a Snapchat that it became clear I was using my phone, prompting him to shout out his window.

‘Was he drunk?’  Robin asked. 

‘He was definitely on his way home from a night out,’ she confirmed.

Robin questioned whether Tegan had not received any communication from Corey during the past year, prior to his unexpectedly shouting through her window under the cloak of night and the influence of alcohol.

Occasionally, we’d have conversations, but these moments were few and far between, perhaps lasting only for a couple of days at most. He would leave again, growing fearful.

‘Did you let him in?’ Robin asked.

‘I did because I was like, “Someone’s going to call the police on this guy”,’ Tegan explained.

The petite blonde recalled thinking ‘This guy’s going to get a public nuisance warning soon.’

Tegan said she wasn’t prepared to ‘waste’ her time on Corey if he didn’t ‘commit to something’. 

In my commitment, she set a deadline for me on the 31st of March. Five days after that, I reached out to her and expressed, “Alright, let’s see if we can make this work.

‘Those were his exact words,’ she added.

Tegan’s dad Gene inquired about her Broncos winger boyfriend, asking simply, “Is he a decent man?

She said Corey was and her dad told her: ‘Okay, he’s got one chance.’  

‘And we’ve been together for nearly ten years now,’ she concluded. 

Corey has been a consistent guest on the Brisbane radio program since October, featuring prominently in his amusing ‘Help Corey Find a Job’ segment.

Following the public announcement by the well-known football player that he would be retiring from the National Rugby League (NRL) after playing 216 games in October, this move towards a new career path surprises many.

As an over-the-moon devotee, I can hardly contain my excitement! The magnificent minds behind ARN have revealed that our beloved footy champ will continue gracing our morning airwaves for the remainder of this year, firmly entrenched within their regular breakfast crew. Better yet, this dynamic trio is slated to reemerge in 2025 – a day I eagerly await!

Meanwhile, the show has been rebranded as ‘Robin & Kip now with Corey Oates in the morning’. 

Over the past few weeks, Oates has tried various jobs such as air traffic controlling, real estate agency, counseling, and retail selling, which he recently discussed on the ‘Find Corey a Job’ segment of the breakfast show.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that another popular NRL player has also landed a role at KIIS FM recently, alongside the one who’s currently favored in football.

24-year-old former Sea Eagles champion Cooper Johns has revealed that he will be joining the team for The Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2024.
