"Karrueche Tran is on her own.\r\nOn Wednesday, the aspiring model, 23, looked tired and somber emerging from the Soho Trump hotel in downtown Manhattan. Wearing a midriff-baring top, sweater and jeans, Tran hugged an unidentified femal pal and reportedly headed to the airport.\r\nThe next morning, her famous boyfriend Chris Brown finally confirmed a long-running suspicion: The &amp;quot;Forever&amp;quot; singer, 23, and Tran had parted ways after a rocky year together.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I have decided to be single to focus on my career,&amp;quot; Brown told Us Weekly. &amp;quot;I love Karrueche very much but I don&amp;apos;t want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I&amp;apos;d rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\nIndeed, elsewhere in NYC on Wednesday night, Brown and Rihanna, 24, spent a very high-profile evening together (with Beyonce and other stars nearby) watching the Jay-Z concert at the Barclay&amp;apos;s Center in Brooklyn.  &amp;quot;They looked full on back together,&amp;quot; an observer told Us of the pair, who split in February 2009 after Brown assaulted the singer, but who have been inching closer toward a public reconciliation throughout 2012.\r\n\r\nTran, who warred with Rihanna over Twitter earlier this year, alluded to the split on Tuesday and Wednesday. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a difference between a man and a boy . . . I prefer men . . . Remember I said I prefer men,&amp;quot; she wrote.\r\nApparently boarding her plane on Wednesday night, she wrote &amp;quot;take off . . . bye baby.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
