Chris Brown has had a remarkably eventful career, and his personal life has often attracted almost as much attention as his music. Over the years, the singer has been linked to several well-known women from entertainment, modeling, television, and fashion.
Some connections became serious relationships, while others were brief romances or widely reported associations. Because celebrity relationships are frequently surrounded by speculation, this retrospective focuses on the women who were publicly linked to Brown rather than treating every reported rumor as confirmed fact.

9. Nia Amey
