Looking for a quick intro to Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush? Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush was a hot couple for quite a while. But, as often happens, the couple split shortly after Reggie’s team, the New Orleans Saints, won the Super Bowl. Kim and Reggie, Sandra and Jessie. Do big awards always mean big splits? There may be no answer to that, or any facts to back up an answer that someone can come up with, but here are a few facts we do know about this “once-was” couple.

Kimberly Noel “Kim” Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980. She is most known for being Paris Hilton’s best friend and for her reality TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” among other things. She is of Armenian descent, which probably explains her exotic good looks. She has two sisters, Kourtney and Kloe, and a brother, Robert, as well as several step-brothers and sisters. Kim’s stepdad is Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medal winner.

Reggie’s full name is Reginald Alfred Bush, and he is a pro football player for the New Orleans Saints, winners of the 2009 Super Bowl. He was born on March 2, 1985 in San Diego, CA, and attended college at the University of Southern California, where he played a number of positions, including tailback and running back. He has five years’ experience with the National Football League.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush met in 2007, but dated quietly for most of that time before going public in December of 2007. In July of 2009, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush went to Africa as part of their support work for the Diamond Empowerment Fund. This organization and charity works with those in diamond-rich areas of Africa who, even though they live in areas where some of the most expensive gems are found, exist in extreme poverty. The DEF is striving to find ways to help young people in these areas through providing education and other methods of self-empowerment.

Kim accompanied Reggie to the Super Bowl, where they were photographed together as a couple at various parties and get-togethers. During the game itself, cameras would sometimes show her reaction to Reggie’s plays, and did record her delight at the Saints’ win. Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush split in March, 2010, after three years together. Latest reports say there is no chance of them getting back together.

So, do big wins always mean big break-ups? It certainly looks that way for Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush.
