Who Are Monique Fontana Parents? Patrick Cripps Partner Job And Age

Monique Fontana was born to parents in Cremorne, Victoria. Her mother, Kylie Parnis, and her father raised her along with her elder sister.

Kylie Parnis works as a volunteer ambulance officer at St John’s ambulance. Though not confirmed, Monique’s parents might have divorced early in her life, and her mother might have remarried a man named David Parnis.

Monique previously mentioned in an interview with Herald Sun that she has an older sister who suffered from cancer when Monique was a teenager.

Both Patrick and Monique’s parents are approving of their relationship, with Monique even photographed spending time with Patrick’s family.

Both parents of the young couple have attended events and ceremonies together. Monique’s family was present when Patrick won his award for playing his 100th game for the Carlton Blues.

Last night after Patrick’s victory, it’s certain that Monique’s parents were proud of their future son-in-law’s achievement. Patrick happens to be the biggest superstar of Australian Rule Football.

Monique Fontana, Patrick Cripps’s partner, is a registered nurse who previously worked at St Vincent Hospital in Melbourne. Later, she worked as the customer service team lead at Pattersons Insurerbuild.

Monique attended The University of Notre Dame Australia as a freshman in 2014. Four years later, Monique completed her education as a registered nurse at the institution.

Monique and Patrick were in a long-term relationship before getting engaged on March 4, 2022. The two shared the exciting news through their respective Instagram handles.

The couple kept the event lowkey as they were seen celebrating it in their living room with balloons flying around in the background. Last night Monique was present when her fiancee won the 2022 Brownlow Medal.

The couple shared a smooch after the 27-year-old was announced the winner of the prestigious medal. He beat out his competitors Neale and Miller in the final round by one vote.

In the past, Monique had shared about her battle with OCD. The Australian rules football star’s girlfriend shared with Herald Sun that she suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, resulting in her being hospitalized for two weeks.

Monique has been battling the illness since she was a teenager. Her rituals included vomiting one meal a day and practicing particular sentences repeatedly in her head.

But Monique has revealed that her partner Patrick has helped in her recovery and is doing a postgrad in psychology to learn more as it is his passion.

Monique Fontana found a job as a registered nurse in 2019. That is after she graduated from the University of Notre Dame Australia in 2018.

Monique worked at St Vincent Hospital Melbourne for six months before leaving the job for Pattersons Insurerbuild. St Vincent Hospital Melbourne has been ranked as one of the top 100 hospitals in the world by Newsweek.

But it looks like Monique had a change of heart as she joined as the customer service team lead in November 2019. Patterson Insurerbuild provides the best insurance deals where Monique worked for a year.

It is unknown where she works currently, but last time around, when she was interviewed by Herald Sun, they introduced her as a student of vet technology.

So the girlfriend of Patrick Cripps might have found a new interest in her life.

Monique Fontana, age 26, was born in 1996. The girlfriend of three-time John Nicholls Medallist stands at 5ft 5 inches and is dwarfed by her 6 ft 3 inches tall boyfriend.

Patrick has been a support system for Monique as he has helped in her journey to recovery from OCD. Since she was a teenager, Monique suffered from the illness and opened up about her story in December 2021.

Monique said that people think she lives a glamorous life as she dates one of the most famous footballers in their country but behind every smile hides a painful story. She has had several spells in hospitals because of her OCD.

She said she would repeat the sentences, “Malignant cancer free” and “plane crash free”. The first sentence stemmed from when she was a teenager, and her sister had to undergo treatment for cancer.

And plane crash free was related to the time when she was 18 and suffered a severe panic attack on a plane. Monique hopes to spread awareness about mental health as they are many people who are scrutinized for it.

Last night Monique Fontana was present when Brownlow Medal 2022 was handed over to her fiancee Patrick Cripps. After being announced the winner, the Carlton skipper swept his fiancee and gave her a proper smooch.

The Brownlow Medal is one of the most prestigious awards handed over to the best and fairest player in the Australian Football League.

Cripps was almost not nominated for the award as he was suspended for his rough conduct against Brisbane Lions Callum Ah Chee. But his team, Carlton, appealed and successfully overturned the suspension.

With Patrick’s victory last night, Carlton became the second team to win the Brownlow medal and not play the finals. Patrick kicked 20 goals in 21 games, averaging 28.1 disposals per game.

He pipped the bookmaker’s favorite Lachie Neale, the 2020 winner, by a single vote. The Carlton Blues skipper secured three votes in the season’s final game, which was the main reason for him beating Neale.

With last night’s victory, Cripps became the first Carlton Blue to win the Brownlow since former skipper Chris Judd in 2010.
