Why did Kendra Wilkinson leave her husband Hank Baskett for Hollywood? Will they divorce?
          

It’s not a typical move for a newlywed wife and her newborn son, but Kendra Wilkinson Baskett just moved away from her husband Hank Baskett to live in L.A.

Hank is currently residing in Minnesota and playing for the Vikings, while Kendra is hanging in Hollywood . . . to further her own career? There are no rumors of divorce in this split, it just seems like a circumstantial arrangement, but that doesn’t mean that Kendra still doesn’t feel like a “single mom.”

She recently told Life & Style “Not having Hank around hurts,” Kendra says. “Moving across the country by myself makes me think of my own mom who raised me and my brother alone. Hank’s not going to be there forever, but with him not physically here, I’m a single parent now.”

Even though she’s devastatingly lonely, she says she decided on the room because she’s “at home on the West Coast.”

“I fit in well in Philly, and I could relate to all the people, but the West Coast is my home. This is where all my family and friends are. When Hank left I felt lonely. He’s my everything. Nobody else can really fill that loneliness.”

UPDATE: September 2011, While promoting the new season of her E! reality show, Kendra’s been speaking with tabloids about how her postpartum depression made her almost divorce Hank. She told InTouch hey fought quite a bit (at one point Hank had a panic attack and passed out) and slept in separate bedrooms, but now Kendra professes to be doing better and vows to “life her life happy.”

      She does not know the real meaning of Marriage.. You are suppose to stick by your spouse thru thick and thin. She is just selfish and is only thinking of herself moving back to LA for her dreams.. I mean to me she still wants to party and do dumb stuff. Should have never got married. now the kid has to grow up with separated parents due to her selfishness.

      • shannon

        how about you just shut the hell up and stop thinking you know it all. you want her to be with him while he does his dream, but she cant do what she wants, wow…. get a glue..

      Warning to Hank. Save your money in a seperate bank account. Kendra is only interested in draining you financially. She has your baby and is a gold digger that uses people (men) to keep from returning to the low class life as a stripper again. She has no talent and had to hire someone to write her new book. She will do ANYTHING for money. Soon, Hank will be paying child support and alimony out the nose. Kendra, news flash, you have no talent. Your looks pre baby got you where you are now. Your “Best Boyfriend in the Whole World” Hefner you dropped as soon as you could afford to leave the mansion. You got pregnant so you will forever get Hanks money. Hank is now :The best person in the whole world.” Oh, yeah. The public will realize Kendra is all a set up for ratings. Kendra is not sincerely in love with anyone but Kendra. Sex is the only subject she can ever talk about. Hank need to wise up and find a decent woman who is truley grateful and honest. Kendra, Holly Madison, Bridgett are all gold diggers to the core! In a few months the public will wonder who is Kendra? Kendra who?

        Lacy you are so right!!! Kendra is not only talentless she is also stupid. Her show is stupid and I feel stupid for watching it. She sounds so stupid when she says “Im out for me, I need to get my grove on”. She has a great man and I hope that Hank wakes up and realizes he can do better. She is so stupid that she thinks once you are a mom that your sexyness is over. There is alot of moms that are still in good shape and sexy, but we dont go out an announce it to everyone. Kendra get some class and go to junior high class and get an education. You obviously are still stuck in junior high. GROW UP KENDRA before you lose the best man you will ever get.

          who are all of you to judge someone! Get a life and do something different with your time if you are just going to judge others! AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOUR LIVES!

          • KC

            I agree with Amy… Not sure why you guys are so worried about it.. If it bothers you so much don’t watch and don’t pay attention to what’s going on.. But instead seems as though you are so unhappy you have to put it on someone else… I believe we have some haters in the midst of it all

      • ganel

        Jealous much !

      • tool

        Hopefully Hank had his tool drained a couple of times by Kendra

    • JessaNY

      Kendra is completely selfish. Her pregnancy was not planned and now that the “newness” wore off she is wishing she didn’t have the commitments. Now she is pulling the “single mother” card. Kendra, you chose to move away from your husband and very willing father and you are doing your child a disservice. Where is the baby gonna be when you are “furthering your career” AKA taking your clothes off for money and selling sex, the only thing you are good at? Now your child won’t have either parent. WAKE UP, this is the life you chose and everyone is going to suffer for your personal gain. There is more to life than showing off your T&A!

    • http://starcasm kimberly

      I don’t think anyone shoould say anything unless they know kendra and hank on a personal level…by what you watch and read most of the time isn’t what its really like…everyone has faults..who cares…that’s what happened when she was young now she is grown and married with a child let her make her own decisions…I’m pretty sure its not like hank is never going to be there because if they do have a good marriage everything will work out…she has to have a career just like him and I doubt its going to be taking her clothes off

      hhhmm?? well i think u guys are being really mean by saying shes a goldigger nd shes selfish..i mean when i think of a goldigger i think of a women not making her own money nd jus depending on the man but kendra isnt doing that shes doing watever she can to get money which means she isnt a goldigger, SHES MAKING HER OWN MONEY!!! to suport her family not ONLY HERSELF!!! nd i dnt think shes selfish for moving to la she moved to get her hustle on and b able to help support her family instead of depending on only hank!! u ppl are all so rude and messed up nd haters for sure i think kendra nd hank will do well they just gotta keep faith(:

    • sam

      do you watch her show?? i’d never be able to stay with someone who was constantly moving because of their job. it must be a miserable life

    • http://www.facebook.com/caitlinrummel Cate

      Okay,first of Kendra is a very sweet,down to earth,caring person. Trust me she is not one of those celebritys that all she cares about is fame and hollywood glamour. She didn’t lose herself to the fame either, she is still who she was before she even became famous! Kendra was 18 when a photographer approaced her while he seen her walking in San Diego and asked her if she would be interested in being a painted lady for Hef’s Bday Party, now what girl wouldn’t say yes to being invited to the Playboy Mansion to be a model for Hefs bday1

    • http://www.facebook.com/caitlinrummel Cate

      Okay, you people have it all wrong! Kendra is a sweet,caring, and down to earth person! She never changed from the time she wasnt famous to the big celebrity she is now. The fame never went to her head, her interests in life are not being famous, and the big hollywood lifestlye, Trust me kendra could care less about all the hollywood bullshit, Her main interests is her FAMILY!! Kendra was discovered by a photographer while she was walking in San Diego and he asked her if she would like to be a Painted Lady for Hef’s birthday party and at the party hef approached her about being a girlfriend and at that time in her life she was struggling and realized she could be relieved of stress and have a chance at a great life. now what girl wouldnt accept the offer of being a model for Hef’s birthday at the Playboy Mansion and be given the opportunity to be relieved of all your problems in life and have a chance at a great life?,? Now don’t say you wouldn’t because 99percent of girls would kill for that chance, and the ones that say they wouldn’t are the ones who don’t have the looks to do it so they say they wouldn’t take their clothes off or wouldnt model for playboy or wouldnt live in the mansion blah blah but the reality is they would love to but they know they would never get the chance because they know they dont look like Kendra so they bash girls like Kendra because it all boils down to Jealousy and Envy & they secretly would love to be admired by millions of men and have the fame and lifestyle opportunitys kendra has. No girl is going to choose to live bill to bill and work for 8.00$ an hour struggling to live and not be noticed by anyone than live in a gorgeous mansion, pampered,beautiful clothes,admired by people all over the world and never have to worry about money so dont say you would never do what kendra did. You mayswell write JEALOUSY on ur forehead if u do lol. And last but not least, stop bashing Kendra for choosing to go to LA, do you realize you are not making any sense for saying the choice was wrong and all she cares about is Hanks money and her FAME! Come on, that sounds so lame. You say she is a gold digger and she wants child support but how do you expect her to make her own money if she doesnt go back to LA for work, because after all people her JOB is in the entertainment industry, KEY word people “HER JOB”, Ya know the thing you do to support yourself, so she knows she needs to make money to support her family and has to make a sacrfice to spend time away from her husband in order to support her family, but if she was a GOLD DIGGER like ya all say she is then wouldn’t she stay with her husband in Minnessota and just live off his money??? No she is going back to work to make HER OWN MONEY, and if anything Kendra makes ten times more than Hank, he can’t even stay on a football team longer than a few months which doesn’t look good for his reputation as a football player, and if wasnt for Kendra no where near as many people would know who is, she is the one that gave him the amount of Fame he has now, so if anything she could say if she wanted to that he hooked up with her because he knew it would give him some fame, and if it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t be on a very succesful reality show and makes money off that show,not just her, anyone that appears on a reality show gets paid! She is an amazing dedicated mother, she made mistakes in her life when she was young, we all make mistakes, everyone has deep dark secrets noone knows about, but Kendra is in the limelight, everyone is constantly in her business judging her but if everyone elses lifes were being scruitinized by everyone in america i guarentee your life and choices arnt so peachy kee either. So i dont think Kendra is going to be needing Child Support anytime soon, and if anything Hanks football career continues the way it is he might be the one needing Kendra to fully support him. And all the people that have something bad to say about her, well you must not hate her that bad that your that interested in her life and watch her reality show, deep down you wish you had her lifestyle and you all have made it more than obvious but being jealous of her and hating on her isnt going to make your life any better so just because your unhappy dont take it out on her, its not her fault, she is an amazing mother and person and one of the few celebrtiys that havent developed a massive ego and treats everyone around her like a slave and is one stuck up biotch, she cares about her fans, and if you ever get to meet her she is a true sweetheart. Maybe you should look at your own lives before you start judging others. And for the people that want to see her fail, thats sick and disturbing that your that cruel of a person to wish that on a mother trying to provide for her family just because you dont have what she has, I hate jealous irrogant people, you say wat she does is wrong but your the ones that are jealous to the point of being incredibly cruel, maybe you all need help. Kendra is one of the biggest celebritys and has one of the most succesful reality shows, she is going to be around for a long time. She deserves everything she has. Noone has walked in her shoes

      • Micheale

        I totally agree! Some people need to put down their Hatoraide and raise a glass to Kendra for accomplishing all she has and still being a REAL person who isnt so full of shit. :) Its pitiful how some celebs become after gaining their fame. Kendra isnt one of these people she is still the down to earth girl who hasnt forgotten where she come from. Peace and Love

      • Suzanne

        Cate, your response is ridiculous, too long in words, and oh so short in grammatical knowledge. Maybe if girls like Kendra and you would stay in school, educated people like me would not have to put up with your reality show nonsense. I know you are probably thinking that this is some homely, fat person responding out of anger, and it is just the opposite, as I am an attractive and well educated (master’s degree) woman with a gorgeous 21 year old daughter who is also on the same path to higher education. Females need to learn to rely on their intellectual acumen and not their bodies and looks to survive and thrive in today’s world and I hope you understand what I am trying to say!

      hank comes from a good family and i would love to have a man like him but Kendra and hank have been thru so much together. i could never see a man like hank being with a girl like Kendra but he did make her grow up. he showed her a completely different life style. one she wasn’t use to. his parents seem to like her I THINK.they seem pretty strict but i loveeee Kendra and hank and i hope everything goes well for them. they have the cutest kid ever ! and i like how she can dress in sweats and no make up ,it just goes to show shes real. those kardashians ALWAYS have to be in the spotlight. now that’s a family I’m getting sick of watching.but if i were Kendra i would have gone with hank because he is a REAL MAN ! i love i love Hank!
      good luck to the both of them and i hope they stay together.she can at least take a plane and go see him. one thing i didn’t like is when she was talking to heff she had said she needs a house but she said it in such a spoiled way. idk…gotta wait to see that episode 2night.
      she can still go out and have fun but the baby always comes first. having fun is second

    • Janis

      I never comment on family business,but I read this tonight @ grocery store and this is so sad… I feel sick for their little baby Hank who is close to my grandsons age. Why don’t you try to make it work Kendra? It’s just too easy for people now a days to call it quits. So sad for baby Hank. He’s a beautiful boy.

    • Johnny

      I sincerely hope they can work it out, if only for the baby’s sake.

      But I just wonder if the release of her sex tape had anything to do with Hank’s sudden release at that time from the Colts?

      Hmmmmm.

    • carla

      STFU !

    • Roddy Bopper

      Yeah Kendra is a selfish chick.she always think things suppose to go her way or the highway.Hank is trying to make money for the family and she’s complaining that he’s not there and other stuff.Women like her make it harder for other women to find a decent man.When things go rough she seems to not be there for him it’s always an excuse for her.She’s always judgemental and try to hook up other people with dates but she dont know the true meaning of a marriage.It’s for better or worse

    • http://aol Patti

      I like Kendra, she could really help young girls who have been tempted into drugs etc., I hope she will eventually go in that direction. I think her Mom was not someone I would have wanted to help me grow up, she was so bitter at being left alone with two kids, she took it out on her daughter. My opinion. I have mixed feelings about Heffner too. On the one hand he appears sweet and kind, then there is the other side…I think he used Kendra and all the other girls (so called girlfriends) for his own personal sexual gratification. Holly is a perfect example of being used and thrown away, that girl loved him. He just made her think she did it herself. Then he took up with another firl and asked Crystal to actually marry him… he just toys with these young women’s feelings. Sad for the girls, sad for Hef.
