Hank Baskett Has Two Children With Kendra Wilkinson
Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkinson got married on June 27, 2009, at the Playboy Mansion. Together, Baskett and Wilkinson have a son, Henry Randall "Hank" Baskett IV who was born December 11, 2009, and a daughter Alijah Mary Baskett who was born May 16, 2014. During their relationship, the two were at the center of two reality television shows — Kendra which aired from 2009 until 2011, as well as Kendra on Top which aired from 2012 until 2017. Unfortunately, Baskett and Wilkinson's relationship didn't last and the couple got divorced in 2018. Apart from sharing sponsored content on his Instagram profile, Han Baskett also frequently posts photos of his children. As of writing, the former athlete lives in Voorhees Township, New Jersey.
In an interview with People, Kendra Wilkinson admitted that there is no bad blood between the former spouses. "We both are not perfect humans," Wilkinson said. "Maybe we were just too young. And that's okay. I still love Hank. He's such a good person. But sometimes it just comes to an end." The reality television star and model admitted that co-parenting hasn't been easy to get used to. "It was a rough start for me to get used to it," she admitted. "I didn't know how to not have my kids. I wanted to cry when I wasn't with them."
It seems as if the two stars couldn't work things out, but they are capable of appreciating the good times they shared. "Hank is an amazing person, and I'm so lucky to have been married to him," Wilkinson said. "He is the greatest father. And to be honest, it's going to be hard to find another man like him because the bar was set so high."
The day the news broke of their separation, Kendra Wilkinson opened up about her emotions in an Instagram story by saying "Ten years. I did everything I could. It wasn’t good enough. I will always love him. My heart will always remain open for him. I believed him forever. I really did. Guess it’s just not meant to be. I’m so scared. I have to get strong for my kids." The Playboy star also took to Twitter to express what she was going through. "Today will be the saddest, scariest day of my life. Today I will have to be the strongest I’ve ever been. Today, my rebirth begins," Wilkinson tweeted.
Back in 2020, a source close to the two revealed to Us Weekly that the former spouses have managed to find a routine that works for them. "Her and Hank have been co-parenting really well together throughout [the health crisis] and have been for a while now," the source said. "She has her weeks on and off with the kids, and she’s just happy her kids are healthy and in a great place."
