Does he want her back? Chris Brown posts loving picture taken with Rihanna just DAYS before their relationship came crashing down

Chris Brown further fuelled the Rihanna rumour mill on Thursday by posting a loving picture of the pair, sparking claims they may have reconciled.

In fact, the picture is believed to have been taken in Paris, just a day before the pair sensationally split after Rihanna heard Sweet Love rapper Chris partied with scantily-clad female models and lunched with ex Karrauche Tran in Dubai.

Too add further mystery, to what could be seen as a 'forgive me' post, Chris deleted the picture after 15 minutes.

Forgive me or they're back together? Chris posted this snap of him and Rihanna, before quickly taking it down 15 minutes later

But thousands of Twitter users retweeted the snap, which shows Rihanna wearing a red fur coat, which she was seen wearing on December 10 in Paris, the same day Chris was spotted leaving her hotel room in the City of Lights.

Rumours swirled that the star was trying to elicit forgiveness from his on-again off-again lover after she posted a series of vitriolic Twitter comments about being single.

After weeks of happy texts aimed at Chris and photos of the pair together, the 24-year-old wrote: 'Examine what you tolerate', 'Goodbye muthaf*****', 'You give, you get, then you give it the f*** back' and 'Claps for the basic b****** (sic)'

Picture perfect! Rihanna, seen in Paris on December 10, this jacket is very similar to the one she seems to be wearing in the Twitter snap

In between posting raunchy images of herself, she followed it up, musing: 'Never underestimate a man's ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.'

Of course, Rihanna can not be with Chris as the Diamonds singer is currently holidaying in a luxury beach front villa in Barbados.

It isn't clear if Chris wants to get back together with Rihanna or simply remind her of the fun they had together, since they first split in 2009 the Bajan beauty often referred to her ex as her 'best friend'.

Meanwhile The Karrauche's best friend Christina Milian, 31, claims Karrueche has always been the 'Turn Up The Music' singer's 'girlfriend' despite Chris previously announcing they had split last October.

When asked about her friend's relationship status with the 23-year-old R&B star, The Voice USA star said last week on The Wendy Williams Show on Friday: 'You know what, from what I've always known, she's his girlfriend.'

why do these idiots have to play everything out on social media. It's pretty obvious this whole drama sells records and creates intrigued so I guess it's up to the people to just ignore them completely until they go away.
