‘Time is irrelevant in love': Dr Chris Brown opens up about new relationship

‘Time is irrelevant in love': Dr Chris Brown opens up about new relationship

Perth Nowa day ago
The Ambassador for Dream Home Art Union reveals the $13 million beachside property on offer in the biggest prize home lottery in Australian history.
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.' Dr Chris Brown is dating TV publicist Lorraine Monforte. Credit: Supplied/Instagram The new couple posted separate photos from a recent trip to Finland. Credit: Instagram
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. My Reno Rules host Dr Chris Brown on Sunrise. Credit: 7NEWS Dr Chris Brown and Sonia Kruger, hosts of Dancing of the Stars, will be on the TV Week Logie Awards red carpet. Credit: Seven/Jeremy Greive
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.

Pregnant wife of former NBA star bitten by shark

A pregnant television presenter has revealed the horror moment when she was attacked by a shark close to shore at a resort in Puerto Rico. Eleonora Boi, shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram, describing the experience as the 'worst day of my life.' 'I never thought I could get attacked by a shark and I was near the shore and on a super crowded beach,' she wrote in the caption of the photo according to a translation. She explained that she had to have surgery for the injury she sustained on her leg. 'I was rushed to the rescue and the surgery to fix my poor bruised leg went well,' she said. Boi is the wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari, and expressed her gratitude for his support during the incident. 'I thank my husband . . . he gave me all his love and courage,' she added. Boi and Gallinari, who are both from Italy originally, married in July 2022 and share two children. Credit: Instagram 'Now I just have to recover from the great scare and try to forgive the great friend who betrayed me. Shark will be hearing from my legals soon.' Local police confirmed that a woman suffered an open wound to her thigh at Carolina Resort, Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia reported. 'Based on the photographs provided to us, we believe the characteristics of the bite could be consistent with those of a shark, but to validate this, a series of analyses would be necessary,' Nilda Jiménez said. Boi and Gallinari, who are both from Italy originally, married in July 2022 and share two children. Boi is a sports journalist and presenter and is pregnant with their third child. Danilo Gallinari is an accomplished Italian basketball forward who began his professional career in Italy before being selected 6th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.

Magda Szubanski set to enter the Logies Hall of Fame

Comedy star Magda Szubanski is set to be inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame for her contribution to Australian television. She becomes the fifth woman inducted since the award was established in 1984, joining Ruth Cracknell, Noni Hazlehurst, Kerri-Anne Kennerley and Rebecca Gibney. Szubanski is best known for winning the hearts of Australians as the unconventionally sporty, unlucky-in-love Sharon Strzelecki in sitcom Kath and Kim. That sparked roles in the smash-hit movies Babe and Happy Feet, along with both sequels, among others. She first burst onto Australian screens in the mid-1980s after being picked up by ABC talent scouts watching her perform in a university revue. Her credits include sketch shows Fast Forward and critically acclaimed Big Girl's Blouse, alongside Kath and Kim co-writers Gina Riley and Jane Turner. Off-screen, Szubanski has been a strong advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. In 2018 she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for her contribution to the marriage equality campaign. In May 2025, Szubanski announced she had stage-four mantle cell lymphoma, describing it as a 'rare and fast-moving blood cancer'. She said she would be lying low to protect her immune system. 'I won't sugar-coat it, it's rough,' the 64-year-old wrote of her diagnosis at the time. 'But I'm hopeful. I'm being lovingly cared for by friends and family, my medical team is brilliant and I've never felt more held by the people around me.' The 65th Logie Awards will take place on Sunday, with women set to dominate television's most glamorous night. All but one of the nominations for the coveted Gold Logie award are women and the night is set to be hosted by comedian Sam Pang.
