TV Vet Dr Chris Brown and Girlfriend Lorraine Monforte Expecting First Child
TV vet Dr Chris Brown announced on Friday that his girlfriend Lorraine Monforte is 20 weeks pregnant. The couple will welcome their first child together in 2027. Brown shared the news on Instagram and on his new KIIS FM breakfast show, saying they had been trying for about a year and a half.
Lorraine Monforte, the girlfriend of TV vet Dr Chris Brown, is 20 weeks pregnant, Brown announced on Friday, November 13, 2026. The couple will welcome their first child together in 2027.
Brown, 48, is the new host of a KIIS FM radio breakfast show. Monforte is 42. He shared the news on Instagram and then repeated it on air on Friday morning.
Monforte is also the mother of two primary school-aged children from a previous relationship.
"It turns out we came back from Italy with more than just pasta bellies and an unbroken Duolingo streak," Brown wrote on Instagram. "We couldn't be more thrilled. And grateful. And I couldn't be less qualified to give medical advice on this one."
On his KIIS FM show, he told listeners: "I have a little secret to share with you guys and it's a big secret – Lorraine and I are expecting a baby." He called it "the greatest joy" and said he was "clearly lost for words".
Brown said the couple had been trying for "probably a year and a half". He sent his love to anyone struggling with fertility.
"So we've held back telling anyone until we feel, touch wood, that we were going to be okay," he said. "She's actually 20 weeks."
He added that there was a reason Monforte had been keeping her distance. "There's a reason she's been avoiding you guys because it's so incredibly obvious now that she is pregnant and we're thrilled this baby is going to experience so much love," he said.
"This has been a really long time coming for a long period of time. I wasn't sure if this would happen, but the timing just feels right," Brown said.
Brown and Monforte, a Network 10 publicist, confirmed their relationship on social media in May. The pair had been rumoured to be dating for more than a year without confirming or denying it.
Monforte then posted a series of photos of the two on Instagram with a heart-hands emoji. "Couple goals right there," Brown wrote under the post. A month earlier, he had said the couple were good friends before it turned romantic.
The announcement caps a huge week for Brown. His new KIIS FM breakfast show, alongside co-hosts Amy Gerard and Jack Charles, began in Sydney on Monday.
The trio fill the slot left by the end of The Kyle & Jackie O show. Brown said the new show shares a network and timeslot with its predecessor, but little else.
"It's the same network and same timeslot, I think that's where the similarities begin and end," he said. "We love that this is really new, fresh, it's a different show."
Brown also hit back at Kyle Sandilands, who had said he was "too vanilla" for breakfast radio. "That's just Kyle being Kyle," Brown said. "I feel so confident it's going to be anything but."
Co-host Charles backed him up. "There are a lot of people who will be surprised about the stories they'll hear about doctor Chris Brown," he said.
