Dr Chris Brown and his stunning girlfriend Lorraine Monforte are moving forward in their romance. The Bondi Vet star and the publicist have gone public with their relationship, and enjoyed a swim together at Sydney's Bondi Beach earlier this month.
Chris flashed his toned chest as he stripped down to a pair of black boardshorts and headed for the surf with his ladylove by his side. Lorraine showed off her fit figure in a brown one-piece swimsuit as she strolled alongside her hunky boyfriend. She appeared to wear a full face of makeup into the water, donning a nude lipstick and wearing her brunette locks down over her shoulders.
After their swim, the couple towelled down and dressed, with Lorraine putting on a pink cover-up. Chris collected his rescue dog, Buzz Euky Brown, and the trio walked home together along the promenade.
Relationship Gets Serious
It appears that the couple are getting serious, with Chris indicating this month that he has finally found someone who understands his life in the limelight. 'Yes, I'm in a relationship and really happy,' the vet confirmed on the Something To Talk About podcast. 'The great thing with Lorraine is that she was a publicist for a TV network for 13 years,' he continued. 'That's how we first became friends. And that's essentially all it was for quite a period of time. But she gets TV and she gets the media landscape. So she understands when the phrase "hard launch" is used, where that's coming from, so she's able to laugh at it.'
The celebrity vet, 47, first confirmed his relationship with the TV publicist, 41, in August last year, and the pair have been spotted together several times since. Their romance was kept private, but it became an 'open secret' within the industry.
Family Approval
Dr Chris discussed the romance during an appearance on Nova FM's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie last year. 'You have a girlfriend Dr Chris Brown... Is her name Lorraine?' host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked. 'Yes, her name is Lorraine,' the Channel Seven star responded. While the media personality kept mum on some of the more intimate details about his relationship with Lorraine, he did reveal she has met his family. He also said Lorraine, whom he met on the set of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! when he worked for Channel Ten, has the 'thumbs-up' from his father Graham.
It's unclear when Dr Chris and Lorraine became a couple, but the veterinarian has always kept his romantic life under wraps, wary that publicity might jinx things. What we do know is that Lorraine is a mother to a 10-year-old son and at least one other child, though she keeps her family out of the public eye. She once used the double-barrelled Monforte-Guy, which suggests she was married at one point but has since divorced.
Brown previously dated model Brooke Meredith for two years from 2020 to 2022. The pair did not publicly announce their breakup. Reports of their split only became known when Chris publicly confirmed he was once again single. Before this, the My Reno Rules star dated former Ten presenter Liv Phyland for about a year.
