American R&B star Chris Brown has reunited with his former girlfriend, actress Karrueche Tran, nearly eight years after their highly publicized and legally enforced separation.
The surprise reunion took place on Saturday at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California. A now-viral video and photo circulating on social media captured the pair in a light-hearted moment, chatting as Tran laughed at something Brown said.
Their appearance together has sparked widespread speculation about a possible reconciliation, especially given their complicated history. The encounter marks the first time the two have been publicly seen together since a restraining order was issued against Brown in 2017.
At the time, Tran accused Brown of physical abuse and threatening behavior, telling the court she feared for her safety. A judge later granted a permanent restraining order, legally barring the singer from contacting or approaching her.
Brown, who was also previously convicted of assaulting singer Rihanna in 2009, has faced multiple allegations of violence over the years. His reunion with Tran at Coachella suggests that both may have moved past their legal and personal battles—at least publicly.
