New York Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin made headlines for the wrong reason on Friday.

The NFL suspended the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver for violating the league's personnel gambling policy. Per ESPN, the league had been investigating Austin's online gambling activities for quite some time. Austin reportedly did not place any bets on NFL games but placed wagers from the team's facility.

He was absent from the sidelines during the Jets' crippling 19-3 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. No explanation was offered for his absence at the time, but the suspension on Friday suggests the league had already notified the Jets of their intention to punish Austin before the game against the Jaguars.

While Austin has mainly been out of the headlines for over a decade, he did make some in 2010, and it wasn't because of his excellent work on the field for the Cowboys.

Miles Austin, the NFL player who dated Kim Kardashian in 2010

Miles Austin and Kim Kardashian briefly dated each other in 2010. Per reports, they began dating in June 2010 before splitting in September of that year.

Austin and Kardashian were reportedly happy together, but the wide receiver living in Dallas and the socialite spending most of her time in Los Angeles put a strain on their brief relationship. They eventually called it quits, citing the distance as the reason for their breakup. But Austin is reportedly not the only NFL player Kardashian has dated.

Former New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush also dated Kim Kardashian. They reportedly met at the 2007 ESPY Awards and hit it off. They eventually began dating that year and were in a relationship until 2009.

The couple's breakup affected Kardashian deeply. Post her split with Bush, she broke down during a photoshoot and said:

"I feel like my world is over. I just really don't care about my career anymore. I feel like it's cost me my relationship."

Bush married Lilit Avagyan in 2014.
