Lois is the mother of the Griffin family. She and her husband, Peter, have three children: Meg, Chris, and Stewie, along with the family dog, Brian. Lois is often portrayed as a stereotypical television mother and housewife, despite her admitting to being a recovering methamphetamine addict and a kleptomaniac. Lois has also had several affairs, one of which allegedly resulted in the conception of Chris. Lois was previously married to Cleveland Brown (voiced by Mike Henry), a recurring character of the show who is one of Peter's best friends and also a neighbor of the Griffins.
