In happier times: Reggie and Kim at a Hornets game in 2008.
Superstar Saints running back Reggie Bush and longtime romantic interest Kim Kardashian have split up, according to reports on Usmagazine.com and People.com.
Usmagazine.com quoted a source close to the couple as saying, “Nobody cheated. This is just a case of conflicting schedules and their lives going in different directions. … It was a totally mutual decision.”
People.com’s report quoted a source as saying, “They never get to see each other, ever. It’s been a long time coming. They still love each other and are part of their lives, but Reggie spends six months out of the year in New Orleans, so it’s tough.”
Kardashian, 28, and Bush, 24, began dating in April 2007. The star of the E! TV network reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” has been spotted in attendance at several Saints games in the Superdome the last two seasons, and was seen canoodling with Bush in courtside seats at a New Orleans Hornets game last season.
The breakup came as a shock to fans of the pair. In June, E! Online quoted Kardashian as saying that she was shopping for her engagement ring. (She later posted a denial on her Web site, according to Usmagazine.com, writing: “I am not engaged! … I don’t know where all this comes from!!”) And as recently as Monday afternoon, the Kardashian fan site KimKardashian.net offered as its top headline: “Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian Headed to Botswana” on a July 12 humanitarian mission.
A spokesman for Kardashian has confirmed the breakup, the two Web sites reported. No comment from Bush, who is scheduled to report to training camp with the rest of his Saints teammates on Thursday (July 30).
