Dr. Chris Brown Goes Instagram Official with Girlfriend!

Dr has been notoriously private about his love life. 

But the television vet announced this week that he is off the market and happy to let the world see just how smitten he is with his gorgeous girlfriend. 

The 47-year-old went Instagram official with his stunning partner Lorraine Monforte, 41, on Wednesday, after quietly dating for the better part of a year. 

Lorraine posted a series of images of the pair cuddled up and soaking in a sauna, as well as enjoying social events and holidays together, in what is unmistakably a 'hard launch' for the genetically-blessed couple.  

The TV star was quick to reply in the comments section alongside the post: 'Couple goals right there.'

The carousel of images proves that while Chris has expertly kept his new love out of view, he and Lorraine have been enjoying a blissful romance behind the scenes. 

The Bondi Vet star and the publicist have been spotted on dates in the past, including a swim at Bondi Beach last month. 

But the post marks the first time the pair have officially confirmed their romance on social media, despite the relationship being an open secret in industry circles since August.

It appears that the pair are now getting serious, with Chris indicating recently that he has finally found someone who understands his life in the limelight.

'Yes, I'm in a relationship and really happy,' the vet confirmed on the Something To Talk About podcast.

'The great thing with Lorraine is that she was a publicist for a TV network for 13 years,' he continued.

'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, so she's able to laugh at it.'

He also said Lorraine, whom 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.
