A few weeks ago, we heard rumors that on-again couple Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian made a pact that if Reggie’s team, The New Orleans Saints, won the Super Bowl he would propose. Both Kim and Reggie denied that story, and Kim said she was just responding to a prompt by a radio jock and didn’t come up with the idea herself. Still, you get the impression that Kim would be thrilled with a proposal. Her sisters are stealing all her thunder with a new marriage and a baby and she’s got to step up her game if she wants to keep up. Given this latest news, it’s probably a good thing that Reggie and Kim aren’t making it official anytime soon. In Touch reports that they were fighting after the Super Bowl and that Kim was in tears. Reggie is even said to have stormed out of a party after his big win and to have just left Kim there:
Reggie exploded over Kim’s camera-hogging ways as they entered a postgame bash… “Kim made Reggie stop for photos,” an eyewitness tells Star. “She said, ‘Don’t forget to smile!’ and grabbed him as she struck a pose.”
But Reggie pulled away, miffed, and stormed inside. When she caught up, says the source, “He snapped at her, ‘I just won the Super Bowl. This is my night, not yours.”
Things hardly got cozier inside the club. While Reggie danced with teammates, Kim sulked at a table 100 feet away. “She was tearing up,” says the source. “She put on a pair of sunglasses and was dabbing her eyes with a napkin under the shades.”
Two hours later, Reggie was done partying – and done with Kim. “He didn’t even tell her he was leaving,” the source says. Kim jumped up and ran after him, but he hardly glanced back.

The article doesn’t specify if Kim caught up with Reggie or if he left separately, but he did try and ditch her either way. If that’s true, it’s a really douche move to leave your girlfriend at a party. In an interview I saw with Kim, I remember her saying that Reggie wasn’t used to the paparazzi and attention that came along with dating her. It made me roll my eyes, but he could be ready to move on from Kim to a girl with less strings attached. I get the impression that it was her decision to reunite with Reggie over the summer and that he just kind of went along with it.
There’s another story about Kim in the National Enquirer, which claims that she called fellow E! reality star Kendra Wilkinson to offer her condolences after her husband’s team lost the SuperBowl. Wilkinson is married to Hank Baskett, the wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts. Baskett flubbed a key play in the third quarter and was blamed by many for costing his team the title. Wilkinson was seen crying openly after Baskett’s team lost, and she later explained that she was upset because the paparazzi were bothering her and not specifically due to her husband’s loss. The Enquirer reports that Kim reached out to Kendra and told her that she’s been there. They quote a source who says “After the game, Kim… felt so bad for Kendra, she contacted her. Kim tried to be as supportive as possible and told Kendra, ‘I know exactly what you’re going through because Reggie has been the goat in the past for fumbling the ball. He did the exact same thing in a big game recently.'” How much do you want to bet that the “source” for this story is Kardashian’s camp? The Enquirer runs a lot of human interest stories in their “gossip with Mike Walker” section about Ryan Seacrest, the producer of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” and I would bet this is a PR story meant to make Kim look like the good guy.
Meanwhile it looks like Kim and Reggie have patched things up. They attended a Valentine’s Day party together in Vegas and Kim gushed to OK! Magazine about their relationship. Reggie looked kind of bored in some of the photos, though, like he was just doing his boyfriend duty and wasn’t happy about it.
