- Brown shared the news in an Instagram post and on the Friday, November 13 episode of his KIIS FM breakfast show

Congratulations are in order for Dr Chris Brown, 48, and girlfriend Lorraine Monforte, 42, who have shared they’ll be welcoming their first child together in 2027. On Friday, November 13, the TV vet and Monforte shared a joint Instagram carousel, with the first slide a selfie of them holding a sonogram.
“The rough translation? Baby Brown is coming in 2027,” the caption read. “It turns out we came back from Italy with more than just pasta bellies and an unbroken Duolingo streak.”
Brown finished: “We couldn’t be more thrilled. And grateful. And I couldn’t be less qualified to give medical advice on this one.”
The carousel included photos of Monforte holding her growing belly, as well as the couple posing in front of graffiti that read “PREGO”. On Friday’s KIIS FM breakfast show, Brown shared more details about the pregnancy and the struggles he and Monforte faced leading up to it, reports Nine. Monforte is also the mother of two primary school-aged children from another relationship.
“I have a little secret to share with you guys, and it’s a big secret,” Dr Brown told his co-hosts Amy Gerard and Jack Charles. “Lorraine and I are expecting a baby.”
“It is the greatest joy. I’m so grateful. 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. I am clearly lost for words. I’m going to be a dad. It is one of the great miracles of life that pregnancy ever happens.”
Brown said the couple had been trying to conceive for about a year and a half, and had held off telling anyone until they felt things were okay. He revealed Monforte was 20 weeks pregnant.
“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.”
Back in April this year, Brown told Stellar he first became friends with Monforte when she worked as a Network 10 publicist. Because of her work, he said she understands the media landscape and so was able to laugh when the couple were said to have “hard-launched” their relationship at the Australian Grand Prix in March that year. At the time, Monforte was based in Brisbane, while Brown was Sydney-based.
In May, the relationship became Instagram official when Monforte posted a gallery of photos of the pair from the past few months and Dr Brown commented, “Couple goals right there”.
