Kardashian dated NFL running back Reggie Bush on and off from 2007 to 2010. The two initially met at the ESPY Awards in 2007 and started a relationship not long after, as reported by In Style. As "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" was in its first season, much of the couple's relationship ups and downs were documented on the show.
Kardashian and Bush first broke up in June 2009, citing the busyness of their careers as a reason for the split. A source at the time told E! News, "They love each other a lot and hope someday they can make it work. But for now, he starts his football season this week and Kim starts filming season four of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and they just need this time apart."
The two briefly reconciled in 2010, only to break up again that same year. A source close to Bush told Us Weekly that the athlete split from Kardashian because "her fame is just a little too much for him to handle."
Later in 2014, Bush touched on his relationship with the reality-TV star on ESPN, and said that while the intense media attention was ugly at points, "I wouldn't change anything because it helped mold and shape who I am today and I'm a better man for it."
