Dr Chris Brown and his girlfriend, Lorraine Monforte, tend to keep their relationship private, but the TV vet has surprised fans with a rare comment about their romance.
The couple, who were first linked in May 2025, were friends for years before they started dating, and Chris has admitted he’s happier than ever.
‘Yeah, I’m in a relationship and really happy,” he told Stellar Magazine.
“The great thing with Lorraine is that she was a publicist for a TV network for 13 years. 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… she’s able to laugh at it.”
His remarks come just days after an insider told New Idea quite how much Lorraine’s TV background has helped their relationship.
“Lorraine understood Chris’ world straight away,” the insider told us.
“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.”

Who is Chris Brown in a relationship with now?
The couple have known each other for years, having first met when they both worked at Network 10 — Lorraine was a publicist on Chris’s former show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
New Idea exclusively broke the news of their romance in May last year, and Chris, 47, confirmed the relationship publicly in a radio interview in late July.
“I am happy,” he said at the time.
While little is known about their relationship, insiders say they have actually been dating for two years.
The duo navigate a semi-long-distance relationship, with Chris based in Sydney while Lorraine, 41, lives in Brisbane with her two children from a previous relationship.
The couple tends to keep their relationship under wraps, rarely appearing in at events together or commenting on their relationship publicly.
However, on March 8, they looked happier than ever as they arrived at the Melbourne Grand Prix together.
Showing off their affections, Lorraine shared a candid carousel of photos and videos from the day on Instagram.
Among the posts was a video of the couple laughing together as they walked through the pit lanes after the race, fans streaming past them in the background.
“Vroom vroom @ausgp,” she captioned the post, while Chris added a fire emoji in a comment underneath.
Things appear to be going from strength to strength. In October, the pair jetted off to the Philippines together, with some of Chris’s family joining them — including his older brother Tim, who Lorraine posted a photo on Instagram.
So, it’s clear Lorraine has the family seal of approval!
Are Dr Chris Brown and Lorraine Monforte engaged?
Chris has previously revealed that his dad, Graeme, is a fan of Lorraine — and if a close pal is to be believed, things are about to get even more serious.
“Chris has never looked this happy,” the close pal has previously told New Idea.
“It’s serious. Lorraine has been welcomed into the family fold, and there’s already chatter about what’s next. An engagement is definitely on the cards.”
They are believed to have recently marked their second anniversary, with chatter rising that Chris is getting ready to pop the question.
“This relationship is the real deal,” a source close to the pair tells New Idea. “They’ve built something really solid away from the spotlight.”
“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,” they add.
