Break-up Puts Baller in a Bad Spotlight

They say that breaking up is hard to do, and they're right, especially when if your name is Miles Austin. Although he may be a player for the Dallas Cowboys, the 26-year-old is most famous for his short-lived romance with Kim Kardashian, which made him more than just a name on a roster. According to UsMagazine.com sources, Austin is now feeling a sting from the end of their relationship, seeing how he'll now be absent from the headlines. It's not that he misses Kardashian, but instead the incredible amount of press exposure he was receiving from their romance. An insider tells Us, "Sitting on the floor of the Lakers game with her was better than any commercial of him that would ever run. Sure, he liked her to an extent, but he loved the publicity a lot more." But Austin wasn't the only one making out from the courtship. Sources say that Austin made the perfect "plus-one" for the famous Kardashian sister. He was always willing to attend just about any event with her. And why wouldn't he? The source adds that Austin is "pumped because dating her really put him into the national spotlight and really raised his awareness in the public eye. He thought she was cool, but by no means is he heartbroken.
