With baby Korihi calling the shots, the couple must navigate raising a child while still chasing their dreams.

Raw, hilarious and heartfelt, SHIRAY & GILLIES: FULL NOISE, premieres at 7.00PM on Tuesday 9 June on Whakaata Māori and MĀORI+.

The series highlights the chemistry that makes Shiray and Gillies such a compelling duo.

Shiray (Ngāti Maniapoto) is bold and driven and expressive – a force of nature who meets every challenge head-on. A former international rugby sevens gold medallist, she has her sights set on a return to the Black Ferns and a potential shot at the NRLW.

Gillies (Ngāti Kahungunu), is calm, dry and quietly competitive, bringing a steady presence to even the most chaotic moments. Recently retired from the All Blacks Sevens, he is now navigating life beyond professional sport – from nappies and night feeds to coaching local rugby and reflecting on what comes next.

Together, their relationship is defined by affectionate rivalry, constant mockery and sharp humour. Whether clashing over parenting styles or tackling life decisions, their love shows up in laughter.

But beyond the banter and ambition, SHIRAY & GILLIES: FULL NOISE is above all a celebration of whānau, culture and connection.

From meaningful traditions like burying their son’s whenua, to engaging with te reo and community, the series reflects a generation redefining what success, identity and family look like – on their own terms.
