Chris Brown back with model ex - hours after Rihanna kiss

Exes together ... Chris and Karrueche leave his LA home yesterday morning

AS if CHRIS Brown's love life was not confusing enough already.

The rapper was back with his model ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran yesterday - barely 24 hours after his smooching session with Rihanna.

The pair were photographed looking worse for wear as they left Chris's Los Angeles home.

The star, 23, hid under a baseball cap, while Karrueche sported a tiny T-shirt and shorts under a baggy baseball jersey.

The pair sped off to a nearby recording studio - stopping en route so Chris could pay for the 24-year-old model's petrol.

It's only been three weeks since Chris kicked Karrueche to the curb - admitting afterwards he was tormented by his feelings for both her and Rihanna.

It looked like he was clearing the way to get back together with Rihanna - who split from him in 2009 following his arrest for assaulting her at a pre-Grammy Awards party.

Rumours were fuelled when the couple were caught on camera kissing at a website launch party on Saturday.

But Monday's outing with Karrueche has left fans of all three confused.

The model has also muddied the issue by hinting Monday's meeting was an innocent one.

After the photos of them together were posted online, she took to Twitter to tell followers: "People will believe anything they read."

But Rihanna, 24, doesn't seem so pleased about being traded in so quickly after her clinch with Chris.

The singer yesterday tweeted a string of photos of her smoking suspicious-looking cigarettes along with a cryptic message that could be addressed to Chris.

It read: "No matter how 'busy' a person is, if they really care, they will always find the time for you
