Reality stars Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson won't be the only celebrities sitting in the stands when Super Bowl XLIV kicks off in Miami on Sunday. But they will be the only ones with significant others playing in the game.
Kim Kardashian, 29, and New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, 24, have been dating since they were introduced at the ESPY Awards in 2007. The two took a short break in the summer of 2009 (their bi-coastal careers - with Bush in New Orleans and Kardashian in Los Angeles - was cited as a reason for the split), but got back together that September.
Now, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star will be supporting her boyfriend as he plays in the Super Bowl.

After Bush's team defeated the Minnesota Vikings to make it to the big game for the first time in the team's history, Kardashian told People magazine, "I am so proud of Reggie and the New Orleans Saints!"
"They deserve it," she continued. "New Orleans deserves it!"
On the other side of the football field will be the Indianapolis Colts - and in the stands cheering them on will be wide receiver Hank Baskett's wife, Kendra Wilkinson, and their 7-week-old son, Hank Baskett IV.
Baskett told reporters on Tuesday that Wilkinson, a Playboy playmate and former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner who previously starred on "The Girls Next Door," and their baby boy will be watching the game from a luxury box at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

"We got a box so he can come to the game," the wide receiver told reporters Tuesday. "He may not remember it, but he'll get to tell everybody that his very first game ever was the Super Bowl and his dad was playing."
Baskett, 27, and Wilkinson, 24, married at the Playboy mansion on June 27, 2009, and welcomed baby Hank on Dec. 11. The two (now plus baby) both appear on the "Girls Next Door" spin-off, "Kendra."

No matter which team comes out on top on Super Bowl Sunday, both women are winners - neither seems to suffer from the so-called "Jessica Simpson jinx." When Simpson was dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, she was often blamed for her boyfriend's poor performance on the field.
After dating for almost two years, Romo broke up with Simpson on July 9, the day before her 29th birthday. However, the breakup didn't help his team's Super Bowl prospects this past season - the Cowboys lost in the playoffs.
