In the spring of 2007, Kim Kardashian began dating football player Reggie Bush, per E!. In a joint interview with GQ, Bush said that he first set eyes on Kardashian at the ESPY Awards and was intrigued by the beguiling brunette.
Since Kardashian’s relationship with Bush coincided with the release of her sex tape with Ray J, the couple inevitably faced immense media scrutiny. Despite the negative attention and gossip he was subjected to as a result, Bush told GQ that he didn’t judge his then girlfriend. “With Kim … it’s not my place to judge, no matter what they’ve done — good, bad, or indifferent,” he said. “I was a friend to her when she needed one, and we ended up talking, and everything worked out.”
Despite the pair’s sizzling chemistry and undeniably dynamic power couple status, it wasn’t meant to be. Yet, Bush has been nothing less than a gent when remarking on his ex. Speaking with Us Weekly, he said that he is no longer in touch with Kardashian, but that didn’t stop him from lavishing praise on her. “She’s doing a great job creating a brand for herself, her and her family,” he enthused. “I’m happy for ’em … She’s very smart.”
Bush is now married to Lilit Avagyan, who is not only another Armenian beauty, but one who bears a striking resemblance to his uber famous ex. We can’t help but be reminded of the “Frasier” episode in which Daphne dates Niles’ doppelganger.
