Vet turned TV host Dr Chris Brown confirmed today that he was officially off the market.

Brown has revealed he is dating Queensland TV publicist Lorraine Monforte and that she has already met his family.

The notoriously private Dancing with the Stars co-host has always remained tight-lipped when it comes to his dating life.

But this morning, Brown revealed he was very “happy” in his new relationship.

Speaking on Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie show, Brown tried his best to dodge questions about his new love interest.

“You guys are so fixated on my happiness, but also my personal life,” Brown quipped.

After exchanging laughs, the host asked: “Is her name Lorraine?”

To which Brown confirmed: “Yes, it is Lorraine.”

It’s believed Brown met Monforte when they worked together at the network.

The TV host, long considered one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors, uploaded videos from his winter holiday to Finland in March.

Though Monforte didn’t make an appearance in the posts, she shared her own photos from Finland at the same time — her Instagram account is private.

Brown didn’t reveal how long they had been dating and refused to answer questions about their first kiss.

But he did mention “love”.

“Time is irrelevant in love, it just drifts,” Brown joked.

Before today, Brown has rarely spoken publicly about personal details in his life.

But in an interview with Stellar magazine in May 2024, the TV personality opened up about fatherhood.

“I would still like to have kids — I still feel that’s very much a priority,” Brown, who was single at the time, said.

“Would I like to have done something about that in the last five years? Probably. But it hasn’t worked out that way.

“If it hasn’t happened naturally and I’m not a dad yet, then I’m OK with that. I’m not worried.

“I feel like it will happen when it happens.

“The last thing I want to do is force it and end up in a situation where I feel like I’ve rushed it.

“But, yeah, I’m taking my sweet time.”

Brown will join forces with TV host Sonia Kruger this Sunday to host the TV WEEK Logie Awards red carpet.
