"FacebookPinterest\n\nBaby Got Running Back\n\nReal life is just like high school: The football star still gets the girl. The difference is, as you get older, things get more complicated. Take Reggie Bush, the Heisman-winning tailback for the New Orleans Saints. His girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, is the 2009 edition of the storybook princess. Her father is the late O. J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian. Her stepdad is Olympic decathlete Bruce Jenner. Raised in Hollywood, she\u2019s got the beautiful face, the body of comic-book proportions, and her own reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She also became famous according to the Paris Hilton blueprint. The result? Reggie and Kim are the perfect Hollywood couple: beautiful, rich, and controversial. It\u2019s up to you whether you love to hate \u2019em or hate to love \u2019em\u2014just like high school.\u2014will welch\n\nHow\u2019d you two meet?\n\n Kim: Matt Leinart [quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals] was dating a friend of mine, Paris Hilton. I went to the ESPY Awards with my stepdad, and Matt was sitting with Reggie. The rest is history.\n\nReggie, had you been encouraging Leinart to introduce you two?\n\n Reggie: No, I\u2019d never seen Kim before the ESPY Awards. After that, I started inquiring.\n\nI bet. Having a famous girlfriend is a good way to get heat from fans, though. Just ask Tony Romo.\n\n Reggie: They want to put the blame on somebody, because it couldn\u2019t possibly be the team\u2019s fault. It has to be because we\u2019re in this Hollywood relationship. Which is absolute bullshit. I think, as a man, as a football athlete\u2014that\u2019s how I make my money, that\u2019s what we train for all year\u2014I could never stand for that. A loss has nothing to do with Kim, or Jessica Simpson. If we lose a game, it\u2019s because we didn\u2019t make enough plays.\n\nEnough niceties\u2014I gotta hear some pet peeves.\n\n Kim: Oh, my God, Reggie is the slowest person anyone will ever encounter. I don\u2019t understand how he\u2019s so fast on the field. He\u2019s like a slug!\n\nReggie?\n\n Reggie: She always feels rushed. It basically trickles down to her having an attitude. So we get into little arguments.\n\n Kim: If he makes me late, it makes me have an attitude. This morning, on the way to the photo shoot, he wanted to drive together, but\u2014\n\n Reggie: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I did not want to drive together. I told you to go by yourself, and you wanted to wait for me. There were ants in the bathroom this morning, and I was like, \u201CBabe, can you grab the Raid to spray these ants?\u201D She was like, \u201CI don\u2019t have time for that!\u201D\n\nThat sounds normal enough, but here\u2019s what people can\u2019t fathom: Reggie was a star at USC, a campus crawling with the best-looking girls in America. Kim, you\u2019ve been married before, and have a sex tape. How do you guys get over the past?\n\n Reggie: We don\u2019t talk about it, and we don\u2019t think about it. With Kim, and with anybody in life, it\u2019s not my place to judge, no matter what they\u2019ve done\u2014good, bad, or indifferent. I was a friend to her when she needed one, and we ended up talking, and everything worked out.\n\n Kim: At first we had our friends saying crazy things\u2014all the reasons that we shouldn\u2019t date each other. We didn\u2019t listen.\n\nBy the way, how\u2019d your first-ever joint photo shoot go?\n\n Reggie: I already know I\u2019m going to catch hell from my boys and my teammates. They love to talk trash and post up pictures in the locker room. But you gotta take these opportunities as they come, man, because when you\u2019re old and you don\u2019t got it anymore\u2014\n\n Kim: When you\u2019re not hot\u2026\n\n Reggie: \u2026you\u2019re going to wish you did that."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
