Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran shocked fans over the weekend when they were spotted talking and smiling at Coachella 2025 — their first public interaction since a restraining order ended nearly three years ago.
The unexpected moment happened at the Revolve section of the music festival in Indio, California, TMZ said.
Photos show the two stars standing apart but speaking calmly, with Karrueche even seen laughing during the exchange. The meeting marked a surprising twist, given the rocky and public end to their past relationship.
Chris and Karrueche dated on and off from 2011 to 2015. The relationship ended after Karrueche learned that Brown had fathered a child with another woman while they were still together.
In 2017, she was granted a five-year restraining order after accusing him of threats and physical abuse, including an incident where she said he punched her in the stomach and pushed her down the stairs.

Viral Coachella Clip Reignites Debate Over Chris Brown and Karrueche Reunion
The restraining order officially expired in 2022, and the two had not been seen together since — until this weekend.
The brief Coachella clip quickly went viral online, with social media users reacting in all kinds of ways. Some viewed the reunion as a sign of healing and maturity, while others reminded everyone of their troubling history.
On Instagram, one user commented, "SPIN THE BLOCK SEASON " — referring to other celebrity couples who have reunited recently.
According to HipHopVibe, another user responded, "I'm not forgiving an abuser. Period." The internet was clearly split between support and concern.
Normani, another singer who was seen in the background of the viral clip, became a meme herself for seemingly minding her business as the interaction unfolded. Her calm face in the moment sparked jokes and praise online.
While Brown and Tran haven't commented on the reunion, fans have kept the conversation alive. Chris Brown, now preparing for a world tour, has largely stayed quiet about his private life in recent years.
Meanwhile, Karrueche has built a strong career in acting and modeling, best known for her role in the hit show "Claws."
