‘Best of both worlds’: Footy great Jonathan Brown returns to the Sunshine State

Footy great Jonathan Brown is making a big family move, but won’t be giving up his role as a key fox Fox Footy commentator anytime soon.

Footy great Jonathan Brown and his family have returned to Queensland.

Brown, wife Kylie and their three children are now living on the Gold Coast with Brown to make the trip back to Melbourne each week to work on Fox Footy.

“We spent a long time in Melbourne and at Christmas we were up in Queensland and the kids loved it,’’ Kylie said.

“Melbourne has so much to offer but if you can get a bit more sunshine and have the best of both worlds, why not. This is where we were before and I grew up on the Gold Coast so my family are all up here.”

Brown will also continue being part of Browny’s Podcast alongside Campbell Brown and host Dean ‘Deano’ Thomas.

He is likely to fly back on Fridays to commentate for Fox Footy and return after appearing on On the Couch Monday nights.

The door opened for the Browns to make the move after he finished up on Nova breakfast last year after seven years with Chrissie, Sam and Browny alongside Chrissie Swan and Sam Pang.

Kylie recently shared her experience with endometriosis after undergoing her 10th surgery.

She has been strong and outspoken in helping other women via her Endo Runner social media page and has run multiple marathons to raise funds and awareness.
