With training camp time fast approaching, many NFL players need to get focused back on the sport that makes them millions. That means many distractions need to be dealt with - which apparently includes Hollywood girlfriends. Fresh off the heels of Tony Romo jettisoning Jessica Simpson, another pro football star is shedding his tabloid-targeted significant other.

THE GOSSIP GIRLS, PEOPLE, and other such sites are reporting that Reggie Bush & Kim Kardashian are kaput as a couple. Like Tony & Jess, the conflicting seasons of another NFL campaign and another inane reality show were becoming too much of a strain on Reg & Kimmy’s relationship.

As one source laments to People:

“They were the cutest couple,” another source tells PEOPLE. “They loved each other so much but they hardly saw each other. He starts his football training camp this week and she starts filming Keeping up with the Kardashians this week. They just need a break right now.”

Although the duo is going their separate ways, apparently the split was a “mutual decision”. And yet another source informs US magazine, “Nobody cheated. This is just a case of conflicting schedules and their lives going in different directions.”

Shame, really. And Kim was making such great progress in perfecting her pigskin skills:
