In a interview with Sports Illustrated, Reggie Bush and girlfriend Kim Kardashian recently discuss the drawbacks of having their relationship out in the public eye.

Reggie on paparazzi: "I hate the paparazzi. I honestly do. She knows I don't like it, but it comes with the territory. I deal with it. It doesn't make me view her any different, it's part of her life and so you just deal with it, but I hate it. I don't like it all. When I'm not with her, they don't care about me, when I'm with her they're all over us."

Kim on giving Reggie advice about coping with the paparazzi: "I'm giving him a few tips here and there. We try not to take it too seriously. The paparazzi are really an invasion of privacy that you're never really used to and ready for but you learn to adapt to it and not really pay too much attention to it."

Reggie on being in a happy relationship with Kim: "We have a great relationship. We're both in the limelight so it's actually good for me and her. We both understand what goes with that and it's going to make us stronger in the long run. A lot of the outside stuff you just have to ignore and live your life and you can't allow people to dictate how you live your life. We're happy and that's all that matters."

Kim on what she loves about Reggie: "We've been friends for years. And the relationship just developed over time. Everything Reggie does is from the heart and that's a quality I've always loved about him."

Also in the interview, Reggie briefly mentions plans of pursuing a acting career after retiring from football.
