Chris Brown reunites with ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran at Coachella

American singer Chris Brown has reunited with his former girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, nearly eight years after a court-ordered restraining order kept them apart.

The reunion took place on Saturday at the 2025 Coachella music festival in California, where the pair were spotted in a viral video and photograph shared on social media. The footage showed the duo engaging in a lighthearted conversation, with Tran seen laughing at something Brown said.

The unexpected moment has sparked speculation that the two may have reconciled and moved past their turbulent history.

In 2017, Tran, an actress and socialite, was granted a five-year restraining order against Brown after alleging physical abuse. At the time, she told the court that Brown had threatened and assaulted her during their relationship, prompting her to seek permanent protection.

Chris Brown, who was also previously convicted in 2009 for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, had been legally barred from contacting Tran since the ruling.

While it remains unclear whether their reunion marks a rekindled relationship or a simple public interaction, fans and observers have expressed surprise at the development.
