Kendra Wilkinson Focusing On Herself, Her Kids As Divorce With Hank Baskett Looms
Kendra Wilkinson has been spending time with her friends and focusing on her children as her divorce with husband Hank Baskett appears to be imminent.
Wilkinson Focusing On Herself And Children
A day after reports emerged that Wilkinson and Baskett were calling it quits on their almost decade-long marriage, a source revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the Kendra on Top star is putting her and her children's needs first.
"She feels broken and has come to terms with the fact that her relationship with Hank isn't healthy anymore," the insider told the publication. "She's always been mommy-oriented and remains focused on her kids and what's best for them."
Wilkinson and Baskett have two children: 8-year-old Hank Baskett IV and 3-year-old Alijah Mary. A source told People that the couple is still talking for the sake of their kids and they intend to separate amicably because they do not want to traumatize the children.
The source also pointed out that the Dancing with the Stars alum has turned to her close friends for moral support during this difficult time and is using exercise as a coping mechanism to deal with the divorce.
"She's been spending quality time with her close girlfriends to keep herself busy," the insider said. "She is focusing on herself and her health. She enjoys working out, going to Pilates and hiking to keep herself focused and untroubled."
Wilkinson And Baskett's Rocky Marriage
On Tuesday, March 27, news broke that the 32-year-old reality star plans to file for divorce from the former NFL Wide Receiver after nine years of marriage.
News of the couple's split comes a month after Wilkinson admitted on social media that she and Baskett were having marital issues while denying a report that claimed they were "faking it" for reality TV. The couple even featured on the reality show, Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, to work towards mending their relationship.
The couple, who tied the knot at the Playboy Mansion in 2009, have experienced several ups and downs during their marriage. In 2014, the former athlete allegedly cheated on Wilkinson with a transgender model while The Girls Next Door star was eight months pregnant with their daughter Alijah.
"All those accusations about Hank cheating took a big toll on their marriage, they never really recovered from the humiliation," an insider told Hollywood Life.
