Karrueche Tran Changed Chris Brown's Life After Rihanna Split? 'He's Happy'
Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have been photographed spending more time together in recent months and sources claim the Los Angeles based model has become a positive influence on the singer following his split from Rihanna.
In May Brown, 24, confirmed that he and Rihanna, 25, ended their on-and-off relationship for good and the "Fine China" singer reportedly wasted no time moving on with Tran, 25. While critics often questioned Brown's tumultuous relationship with the Bajan singer, sources claim he is now in a more health relationship with Tran as the model has allegedly helped him change his ways.
"He's straightforward and honest with Karrueche," a source told HollywoodLife.com.
"For years, he thought he always had to lie to females and sneak around but a wise G told him that if he's ALWAYS honest, s--- always works out for the best and females respect that," the source continued. "Since he's been doing that, his life has been carefree."
Tran was left heartbroken in October when Brown admittedly ended their relationship for Rihanna, however she has since forgiven the singer and recently moved some of her belongings in to his Los Angeles home. While Brown and Tran are now believed to be living together, sources claim the model still has her own place.
"When he wants her, he can have her and when he doesn't and wants to have his space, she gives it to him. The man really does have it sewed down. It works out perfectly," the source said.
"Chris is happy with her," another source revealed. "She gets him. She really understands him. She's low-key the one. S--- is just easy and breezy [with Karrueche]."
In 2009 Brown was convicted of assaulting Rihanna during a domestic dispute and although he apologized and accepted full responsibility, the singer has never been able to regain the public's support. While Rihanna previously revealed that she has forgiven Brown for the assault he is still widely criticized, and Tran has reportedly been a strong source of support during the difficult times.
"She knows what he wants and what he expects and she's cool with it. He always talks open to her, tells her exactly what is on his mind and how he feels about things. In the end, it always works out," the source explained adding "She holds him down and is always there no matter what."
