As reported in the new Us Weekly, Brown, 22, and Rihanna, 24, have been hooking up in secret for nearly a year -- despite both his February 2009 assault of Rihanna and his present relationship with Tran, 23.

The "Forever" singer and Tran were spotted together as recently as Jan. 12, when a witness spotted them "dirty dancing" on the balcony of his Hollywood Hills home; Brown later escorted his love to a hair appointment at Salon Sessions, in Pasadena, Calif.
"Kae is a model, but she also wants to get into the fashion world more," an insider explains http://kiddrvmarketing.com/125/sation-at-least-not-with-your-initial-profile-youre-presenting-yourself-for-judgment/ to Us. "She definitely chased Chris, and it worked! He was really into her in the beginning and still is. He tells her she's beautiful all the time."

But Tran is fully aware that her man is cheating with his world-famous ex whenever he can, a Brown source says. "Karrueche thinks Chris' studio is where most of the hookups have taken place."
