She revealed a rarely seen vulnerability during an emotionally candid TV interview, to be broadcast on Wednesday.
But while her fractious relationship with singer Chris Brown and their difficult love triangle with Rihanna prompted tears from Karrueche Tran, she was keen to display a united front with her man during a night out in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening.
The 26-year-old model stepped out with Chris at West Hollywood nightspot Bootsy Bellows – and the couple ensured they were centre of attention by arriving in his newly painted Lamborghini Aventador.
Sporting a black vest top and matching skinny trousers, Karrueche walked two paces behind her boyfriend as they made their way inside.
The model teamed her neutral ensemble with a pair of strappy black heels, while her hair remained loose and lightly curled.
Walking ahead, Chris, 25, wore a sporty vest top that revealed the impressive sleeve tattoos, covering both of his arms.
Their joint appearances came shortly after Karruecjhe admitted she is 'fighting a battle' with Chris's old flame Rihanna during a preview of her appearance on talk show Just Keke.

'I've never dated a celebrity before so it was very new to me. Paparazzi and all that,' she said about their one-agan, off-again relationship, crediting a 'level head and positivity' in helping her through it.
'And then, even the situation with Rihanna, you know the reason why people tuned into this so much was because it's relatable. I have girlfriends, I have family who's gone through the same situation. It's the case of the ex. We all go through it, do you know what I'm saying?' she said.
'But in this case my boyfriend is a celebrity who's ex-gilrfriend is an even bigger [celebrity]... So, not only am I fighting a battle with her, I'm fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else,' she added.
'So, imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I see a whole bunch of stuff… They make up all kind of crazy stuff and it's like they know nothing about me.
'But, you know, because they know nothing about me, because I stay so mute sometimes, that leaves open space for them to say whatever they want….'
Two days earlier Karreuche posted a revealing quote to her Instagram account with the quote: 'The difference between you and I is that my love is unwavering... You have shattered my heart, but you have not shattered my love.'
