Exclusive: Dr Chris Brown ignites romance talk on date with publicist partner

A Love Story in the Spotlight

Dr Chris Brown, the well-known Australian vet, and his girlfriend Lorraine Monforte have been making waves with their recent public display of affection during a romantic outing in Sydney over the Easter weekend. The couple, who have recently celebrated their anniversary, have sparked speculation about whether a proposal might be on the horizon.

A Relationship That Began Long Before the Spotlight

Although New Idea was the first to reveal their relationship in May 2025, insiders suggest that Dr Chris and Lorraine have been dating for two years. Their connection dates back to when they worked together on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, where Dr Chris was a co-host and Lorraine was part of Network 10’s publicity team. Their professional relationship soon blossomed into something more.

A Rare Public Display of Affection

During their recent outing in Sydney, the couple was seen laughing and enjoying a meal at a local café before leaving hand-in-hand. This rare public display of affection has led to increased speculation about their future. Despite their growing fame, the pair has managed to keep their relationship relatively private, often flying under the radar.

Family Approval and Exciting Plans Ahead

According to sources, Dr Chris’s family has already given their approval for Lorraine to become part of their lives. “This relationship is the real deal,” said a close source. “They’ve built something really solid away from the spotlight.”

Last October, New Idea was told that an engagement was “definitely on the cards” and that Chris’ family “approved” of Lorraine potentially becoming his wife. Now, with their recent date, many are wondering if the Australian vet might have popped the question on their anniversary.

A Supportive Partnership

Lorraine, who has two children from a previous marriage, has played a significant role in supporting Dr Chris in both his personal and professional life. She has been helping him behind the scenes on various projects, including his Drool pet care range’s Instagram account. Additionally, she appears to be the driving force behind the fun new ‘influencer’ type content that Dr Chris has been posting on his own social media.

Building a Future Together

According to a source from New Idea, the couple has exciting plans for 2026 and beyond. “They are happy, enjoying what they have and celebrating the milestones as they come. There’s a lot of love there, and it’s only getting stronger.”

A Strong Foundation

The insider added, “Lorraine understood Chris’ world straight away. She’s worked in television, so she gets the pressure, the attention, and everything that comes with it. Lorraine has quietly become someone Chris really leans on.”

A Love That Continues to Grow

As the couple continues to build their life together, it seems clear that their relationship is not just a passing phase but a strong foundation for the future. With family support, shared interests, and a deep emotional connection, Dr Chris and Lorraine are well on their way to a lasting partnership.
