From 2007 up to 2009, actress and singer Adrienne Bailon and reality TV star Rob Kardashian were hot and heavy in their affection for one another.

The two were constantly photographed together, and Bailon even appeared in some episodes of the hit reality TV show Keeping up with the Kardashian.

Suddenly, the couple stopped being photographed together, and sources told news outlets that the pair had gone their separate ways due to irreconcilable differences. The sources said that the couple was young, and Bailon wanted to focus on her career while Kardashian was working on completing school.

Later on, the real reason for their breakup made headlines after Kardashian admitted in an episode on KUWTK that he had cheated on Bailon.

He didn’t name the person he carried out the affair with, but his sisters were shocked at the revelation. Bailon came out later on to state that Kardashian’s infidelity took a toll on her self-esteem.

Bailon and Kardashian’s relationship lasted for two years, with Bailon terming it her shortest relationship ever. However, fans on Reddit feel that Kardashian was at his best during the period that he and Bailon were together.

Kardashian was stable and seemed to be doing well during their relationship. After they parted ways, Kardashian got involved with Kim’s ex BFF Blac Chyna. Despite Kardashian and Chyna’s union bringing forth their beautiful daughter Dream, fans think Chyna was using him to advance her career.

The two have had a tumultuous relationship, and Kardashian even almost had a mental breakdown. Many fans believe that if Kardashian had remained faithful to Bailon, he wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble he went through with Chyna and that Bailon would have helped him become a better person.
