Chris Brown is dating Karrueche Tran again after their nasty breakup during the holiday season. According to a report from Hollywood Life, a source has revealed how the "Loyal" singer and his model girlfriend have been attending couples therapy to fix their relationship.

"He's put his ego aside and that was extremely hard to do, but he's doing it and it's constantly a work in progress," said the source.

"Between work, touring, and his court obligations, he's been seeing another therapist with Karrueche and they've secretly been doing couple's therapy to kick off the New Year."

The couple's decision to seek professioanal help is supposedly long overdue. "He really wanted to begin the year off right with Karrueche and she's mentioned this to him several times in the past... (now) it's finally set in," the source narrated.

The insider also added how Chris Brown is so serious about dating Karrueche Tran again that he has become very cooperative about couple's therapy. "He wants to do this and he is," the insider said.

Aside from Chris Brown being able to start dating Karrueche Tran again, the insider revealed how the singer's troubled past had a lot to do with his decision to get professional help.

"Chris doesn't want to be like his step father. He doesn't want to be a monster anymore," the insider told Hollywood Life.

"He wants to open his heart and really experience love. He wants to give it and receive it and he's not been able to do that with anyone in his life other than Karrueche."

"Even more so than his mother, Karrueche has really stolen the boys heart and is making it beat differently," the source added.

The controversial couple's decision to go through couple's therapy could also be related to news that they are ready to get married.

According to an earlier report from Hollywood Life, the two seem to already be considering marriage following an almost month-long split last December.

"Chris and her haven't really sat down and said let's get married, but

the truth is, she's the one," the insider said.

"He feels like he has way more stuff to prove to Karrueche than she does to prove to him. And he's working on that tremendously hard and will never let anything or anyone come in between their bond."
