What happened to Kim and Reggie?

The reality star and her boyfriend of two-plus years, NFL running back Reggie Bush, called it quits just as some friends and family members were starting to think they would go the distance and marry.

“Sure there was pressure and talk about their future,” says one reliable source. “But they were always really good about not letting it get to them. Kim totally thought she would marry Reggie. She hoped that.”

But as of late, little signs kept coming up and time apart seemed to be taking a toll. “There was always that thought in the back of their minds that maybe they just couldn’t make it work,” says the source.

One big stumbling block: conflicting career obligations. Both Kim, 28, and Reggie, 24, are incredibly ambitious, says the source, and neither wanted the other to have to give anything up. The result was lots of time apart. “Reggie really wanted her in New Orleans when he was there playing but Kim is traveling more than ever. She has so much going on, it just wasn’t physically possible for her to be there the entire season. With their schedules, it wasn’t realistic anymore.”

Nor, apparently, was the idea of a long-distance romance. “It just wasn’t fair to either of them,” the source adds. “They wanted it to be all or nothing.”

“They’re both doing okay,” says the source. But just okay: “When you care that much about someone and spend that much time working at something, of course it hurts to move on.”

Kim Kardashian says she’s “doing OK” after splitting from beau Reggie Bush earlier this week.

“I just want to let you all know that I truly appreciate all the love and support I’ve been receiving over the last 48 hours,” Kardashian wrote on her blog today.

“I just want you all to know I’m doing okay, and I really appreciate your support,” she went on. “I’ve been reading all your comments and I really have the best fans ever! I love you guys!”

On Monday, Kardashian’s rep confirmed to Usmagazine.com the couple called it quits. The reality star, 28, began dating Bush, 24, the running back for the New Orleans Saints, in April 2007.

“Nobody cheated,” a source told Us then. “This is just a case of conflicting schedules and their lives going in different directions.”

I’m sorry, but those are NASTY! Or do you like them? Here she is yesterday at MTV Studios for “It’s On with Alexa Chung.”

Though a source confirms that Kim Kardashian has split from longtime boyfriend Reggie Bush, her sister Kourtney insists the reality starlet is doing just fine. “Kim is great. She is looking at houses. She is going to be living on her own,” Kourtney tells In Touch.

Her sister may be having personal issues, but Kourtney is happier than ever with her new life in Miami. “Khloe and I are having the time of our lives. I get a crazy adrenaline rush and energy when I start new things,” the reality star, whose new E! series Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami premieres on August 16, says of her big move to sexy South Beach from LA. The show explores Kourtney and little sister Khloe’s adventures opening a new Dash boutique in Florida. “The store is doing really well! It was fun finding new employees and meeting new friends,” she adds.

Like Kim, the brunette beauty is single after a heartbreaking split from fiancé Scott Disick earlier this year. But Kourtney isn’t dwelling on the past. “Khloe was pushing me to start dating, but the best thing for me was to focus on myself. I started focusing on working out and the store,” she says when asked about her love life.

More than two years after her first date with football star Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian was hoping a diamond ring would be in her future. Instead, she’s left with only heartache. On July 27, Kim’s rep confirmed to Life & Style that the couple had broken up. The split caught friends and family by surprise. And no wonder: In April, a glowing Kim, 28, couldn’t stop gushing about Reggie, 24, during her Life & Style cover photo shoot. “I have no doubt we’ll get married,” she told Life & Style. “We’re both young, so it won’t be for a while, but I want to be a mom before I’m 30.”

While the split seemed sudden, the relationship had its problems. The biggest issue? The distance. Reggie’s team, the Saints, is based in New Orleans, and Reggie travels to play all around the country. Meanwhile, Kim lives in LA but often travels the globe for work. “It really wasn’t sudden,” says a friend of Reggie’s. “For the past few months, it’s been clear that although Reggie and Kim love each other, the distance had put a wedge in their relationship.” And the decision to split wasn’t an easy one. “The decision was mutual,” another friend of Reggie’s says. “They talked and talked about it, and they decided this was the only answer. It was tough, but they decided this was the only way to go.”

Kim’s hoping their time apart serves as a break, not a break-up. “Kim believes they can work it out,” a friend of Kim’s tells Life & Style. “She knows she’s been selfish and hasn’t put enough time into the relationship because she’s so focused on her career. She feels terrible about it — but she hopes more than anything this time will be spent working on the issues that came between them.”

Just two days before she announced her split from longtime boyfriend New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian told People about her house hunting – and her desire to live alone.

Kardashian, surrounded by her mom, Kris Jenner, and her sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, at the Hilton Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J., talked about how she and Bush had just looked at homes together the day before. “He hated the one that I loved,” she said. “There is one that he loved and I know my mom is going to love. So I don’t know. I just feel like I have lived in a condo and it’s just time.”

Perhaps most telling, she followed with a declaration: “I’ve always wanted to buy a big house myself and … It is time for me to move. I wish my sisters could move in with me.”

Asked if she planned to move in with Bush, she told People, “I don’t think I would ever live with someone unless I’m engaged. I’m really firm on that. I have done it before. I would tell all my friends, the best thing is to keep your independence. It feels really good to be able to buy a place by myself.”

Later in the evening, Kardashian shared with the crowd how she met Bush. “Basically [stepdad Bruce Jenner] forced me to go to the ESPY’s. [And] I hate sports. As we were walking to our seats after my mom conned me to to going, Matt [Leinart] called my name to say ‘Hi’ and he was sitting with Reggie. For about a year Reggie tried to get my number.”

Her mom then interrupted, “So you owe that to me! I was the reason that you met Reggie Bush.”

Kardashian responded: “I owe you my life.”

Directly on the heels of announcing that she and her boyfriend Reggie Bush had split, Kim Kardashian looked very down trodden as she left La Scala in Beverly Hills, CA on July 27, 2009.

I ate at La Scala when I was in LA for the MTV Movie Awards.  It was probably the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. It was delicious!
