Dr Chris Brown has confirmed his relationship with former Channel 10 publicist Lorraine Monforte.
Reports emerged of their romance earlier this year, with the pair keeping their dating life so private it was considered an ‘open secret’ in the industry.
But the celebrity vet, 46, confirmed their relationship on Friday when he appeared on Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie.
‘You have a girlfriend Dr Chris Brown… Is her name Lorraine?’ host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli asked.
‘Yes, her name is Lorraine,’ the Channel Seven star responded.

Wippa continued to push for details about their relationship, but Dr Chris made sure he shared very little about his 41-year-old love.
‘How long has it been?’ Wippa asked, to which Dr Chris vaguely responded: ‘You know, time is irrelevant in love. It just drifts.’
‘Are you happy?’ co-host Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald asked.
‘I’m very happy. Thank you,’ Dr Chris said.
Wippa then joked: ‘I don’t want to go into details, but where was the first kiss? On the lips? In a park?’
‘Wherever it was, I try to look half as good as you do right now,’ Dr Chris hit back, sending the studio into fits of laughter.
While the media personality kept mum on some of the more intimate details about his romance with Lorraine, he did reveal she has met his family.
He also said Lorraine, who he met on the set of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! when he worked for Channel Ten, has the ‘thumbs up’ from his father Graham.

Daily Mail understands the couple divide their time between Brisbane and Bondi, where Chris lives and made a name for himself as a vet.
‘They are very happy together,’ a source previously said.
Lorraine, who was recently let go by Channel Ten amid a wave of redundancies, revealed this week she would soon be making a trip to Sydney.
It’s unclear when Dr Chris and Lorraine became a couple, but the veterinarian has always kept his romantic life under wraps, wary that publicity might jinx things.
What we do know is that Lorraine is a mother to a 10-year-old son and at least one other child, though she keeps her family out of the public eye.
She once used the double-barrelled Monforte-Guy, which suggests she was married at one point but has since divorced.
There are whispers Dr Chris and Lorraine will walk the red carpet together at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday.
