Kendra Leigh Baskett (née Wilkinson) is an American model, television personality, businesswoman, and author. She gained widespread recognition through her role on the reality television series The Girls Next Door, which featured the lives of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends living at the Playboy Mansion. Her appearance on the show catapulted her to fame, solidifying her place in popular culture.
In 2008, media reports began circulating about Kendra's engagement to professional football player Hank Baskett. Initially denying the rumors, Kendra later confirmed that Hank had proposed to her at the Space Needle in Seattle, an event she described as deeply romantic.
The couple was married at the Playboy Mansion in June 2009. A magazine acquired the rights to cover their wedding photos, reportedly paying $120,000 for exclusive access.
In 2010, controversy arose when a private video surfaced depicting Kendra in an intimate moment with her high school boyfriend, Justin Frye. The footage, filmed when she was 18, garnered significant media attention. Kendra subsequently paid approximately $680,000 to obtain the rights to the video in an effort to control its distribution.
Shortly before the birth of her second child, unverified allegations emerged that Kendra was seen with former NFL player Shawne Merriman without Hank's knowledge. Kendra stated that their meeting was unplanned and occurred after several years of no contact. At the time, rumors suggested an ongoing emotional connection between Kendra and Shawne, leading to widespread media speculation. Hank Baskett did not publicly address these claims, and the couple remained together despite the controversy.
After four years of marriage, Kendra and Hank faced various challenges in their relationship. Kendra reportedly reconnected with a former romantic interest at a gym, which sparked a personal crisis. She sought therapy to navigate her feelings and discussed the desire for more freedom within the marriage. According to sources, the couple considered separating but ultimately agreed to explore an open relationship as a potential solution.
Another strain on their marriage occurred in 2010 when Kendra reportedly attempted to market a tape featuring her and Hank. Although created consensually in 2008, the decision to sell the tape caused tension. While rumors circulated that this might lead to a separation, no formal divorce proceedings followed. Some reports also alleged that Kendra herself had leaked the earlier tape with Justin Frye, though definitive evidence remains unclear.
Kendra has consistently been open about discussing her past relationships and sexual experiences in interviews. Notably, she once candidly described her first encounter with Hugh Hefner. In contrast, Hank Baskett maintained a private demeanor, refraining from sharing details about their personal life or past relationships in public. Despite numerous rumors and public challenges, there has been no official confirmation of separation or divorce proceedings between the two at the time these incidents were reported.
