Reggie Bush's Wife Looks A Lot Like His Ex Kim Kardashian
Celebrity relationships are no different than everyone else's: We all have a type. For some it may be personality, others may find their perfect match in talents or professions, but it's no secret that many also go by what's appealing to the eye.
Reggie Bush, full name Reginald Alfred Bush Jr., is one of those people who may just know what they like physically. The 35-year-old former football player became a trending topic in the gossip blogs during his extremely public relationship with Kimberly "Kim" Kardashian, which put an even brighter spotlight on who he's gone on to date after the reality star.
It didn't take long for the Heisman Trophy winner (who later returned his award) to find someone that not only fit his visual type, but also one that was far enough away from the limelight that she could give him a less-profiled lifestyle. In other words, Bush's current wife sure looks a whole lot like his ex — minus the mega-level of fame.
Reggie Bush apparently couldn't 'keep up' with Kim Kardashian's fame
Kim Kardashian has had many public relationships since she began making a name for herself on TV. According to Floor8, Kardashian has been tied to a few famous names, including, but not limited to, her first husband, music producer Damon Thomas; rapper and TV personality, Ray J; former 98 Degrees singer, Nick Lachey; and rapper and TV host, Nick Cannon.
Kardashian met Reggie Bush in 2007, after the four-month relationship with Cannon. It's reported that Cannon broke things off with Kardashian after she supposedly lied about the sex tape she created with Ray J.
The former New Orleans Saints player was introduced to the mother-of-four at the 2007 ESPY Awards by his former USC teammate, Matt Leinart, as reported by PopCulture. After their meeting, the two were inseparable... besides the few times they broke up. The too-hot-to-handle duo split in 2009 and got back together a few months later.
Ultimately, they separated permanently in 2010. An inside source told Us Weekly that Bush couldn't "keep up" with traveling around the world and everything else that came with dating Kardashian. "Her fame is just a little too much for him to handle," the source claimed.
Reggie Bush's new wife could be Kim Kardashian's twin
Following his infamous relationship with Kim Kardashian, Reggie Bush was rumored to be dating a few different women, but nothing was ever confirmed. As mentioned in Amo Mama, Bush officially began dating his now wife, Lilit Avagyan, in 2011 following his breakup with Kardashian.
Bush married Avagyan in 2014 at The Grand Del Mar in San Diego, Calif., per People. The ceremony was small and intimate, but what seemed interesting was Kardashian's step-brother, Brody Jenner, was also at the wedding, as confirmed on Jenner's own Instagram page.
Just like the Kardashian clan, Avagyan is of Armenian descent, which could be the reasoning behind their very similar facial structures. Shortly after the public reveal of their relationship, the internet immediately noticed the similarities between the two. The 32-year-old professional dancer gained many more viewers after the comparisons were made. She now has 193,000 followers on Instagram.
Kardashian has been asked about Mrs. Bush in interviews, most popularly by Jennifer Lawrence on Jimmy Kimmel Live. However, she's never publicly commented on their striking resemblance.
Now, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are both in happy marriages
Since his 2017 retirement from the Buffalo Bills, Reggie Bush has been focused on his family with Lilit Avagyan. "I've been able to enjoy more time with our family and just being able to do things that I normally wouldn't be able to be here for," he told People in May 2020. The two have three children together: 7-year-old daughter Briseis and their sons 4-year-old Uriah, and 2-year-old Agyemang.
In 2014, the same year that Bush tied the knot, Kim Kardashian married rapper and producer, Kanye West. The two have four children together: daughters North, 6, and Chicago, 2, and sons Psalm, 1, and Saint, 4.
With mothers who resemble each other, it wasn't too much of a surprise when Avagyan and Kardashian's first daughters, Briseis and North, also looked like twins. While both celebrities have highly publicized relationships, Bush and Kardashian happily keep to their own circles of fame.
