Karrueche Tran Moves Beyond Chris Brown; Talks Trying to Better Herself
Karrueche Tran may have largely risen to fame as the girlfriend of singer Chris Brown, but now she is focusing on becoming a woman with her own identity.
Tran, the 25-year-old model, is no longer dating Brown and is promoting the April issue of Annex magazine where she serves as the cover girl. In the Annex editorial that features a blonde haired Tran, the Los Angeles, Calif. native opens up about her life outside of being Brown's girlfriend.
"My life so far has been one hell of a journey and I'm still riding along," Tran told Annex. "Right now I'm at a point in my life where I'm trying to better myself and become more of a woman. I'm focusing on where I will be in the next 10 years."

Tran has publicly spoken about her strong feelings for Brown, and has publicly supported him through his legal woes by attending his court hearings and visiting him on Thanksgiving in rehab. However, she also admitted that she is recently single while on Twitter.
Last year the model opened up about her relationship with the 24-year-old singer-songwriter to Global Grind, which she is frequently criticized for.
"It's different and it's something that a lot of people won't and will never understand, which is why I get so much flack and so much hate because looking from the outside in it looks messy," Tran admitted to Global Grind. "Nobody knows the real story and nobody knows what I went through."
The model was previously involved in a love triangle with Brown and his ex-girlfriend Rihanna after he broke things off with Tran last year to publicly patch things up with the Barbadian pop star. After breaking things off with Rihanna for good last May, Brown began receiving public support from Tran.
Now, she is guarded when sharing her love life publicly.
"Sometimes I hold back from tweeting certain things," Tran previously told Global Grind. "Sometimes you're emotional and you want to tweet a lyric or whatever it may be, sometimes I can't do that because if I do it's, 'Oh this means this and that and she must be going through this.'"
