"I’m certainly looking for the one." Everything we know about Dr Chris Brown's relationships.

 

Dr Chris Brown is a very familiar face on Australian TV.

We know Mr Bondi Vet himself from, well, Bondi Vet, and a number of other shows, including as co-host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

But despite how regularly we see him on our screens, Dr Chris is notoriously private, telling TV Week in February 2018 he wasn’t in the habit of discussing his personal life.

The curly question that threw Dr Chris Brown on Have You Been Paying Attention? Post continues below video.

“I’ve never been that guy going around boasting, especially about who I’m dating,” he said.

He added that the people closest to him “know everything going on”, while everyone else is only able to “speculate”.

Most recently, Dr Chris dated television presenter Liv Phyland.

They were first linked in late 2018, and rumoured to have broken up early in the new year before getting back together. And despite persistent rumours that the pair were engaged, or had spontaneously tied the knot, none were true.

At 2019's Melbourne Cup in November, Liv told Woman's Day they were "really good friends".

In February 2019, in an interview with Stellar, the co-host of I’m a Celebrity said while he’s "looking for the one," it hasn’t happened yet.

"It surprised me how much it got to me. It certainly made me look at where I am in my life," the 41-year-old said.

"If you’d told me at 20 I’d be unmarried and without kids I probably would’ve been horrified. But it’s my doing."

He acknowledged he prioritised work potentially more than he "should have" in his 30s, and despite his animal-filled life he shared on Instagram, it hadn’t been "without sacrifice".

"It’s a lot to ask of a girlfriend, to put up with all the travel and the lack of face time. There’s often interest in who I’m dating. I don’t want to put someone through that if it’s not going to be a thing," he said.

"I’m certainly looking for the one. I don’t want to be this person with a history of short to medium-term relationships."

Before Liv, Dr Chris dated TV producer Kendall Bora for about two years before breaking up in 2018.

The 41-year-old let slip he was single in a September of that year, during an episode of Have You Been Paying Attention?

On HYBPA, Dr Chris joked about being "40, still single, with no children".

"Why are you single?" Sam Pang asked.

"Sam, it's a very good question," he replied.

Asked whether he would do The Bachelor, Dr Chris seemed less than enthusiastic about the prospect.

Before dating Kendall, Chris was linked to Bondi-based project manager Hannah Thomas and also dated Home and Away actress Kassandra Clementi in 2014.
