Their adorable children are being co-parented! Prior to their 2018 divorce, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett welcomed two children and have shared many happy memories.
The former couple married at the Playboy Mansion in June 2009, and Hank, their son, was born six months later. Baskett described himself as “extremely blessed” to be the child’s father while celebrating his 7th birthday in December 2016.
“My guy, my lil man, my son,” the former NFL player gushed at the time in an Instagram post. “It’s hard to believe it’s been that long.” Every day I have you in my life is just as important as the first, from your first ultrasound to the first time I held you to watching you walk down the stairs this morning. Your charisma and smile make everyone around you happy.”
Alijah was born in May 2014 to the New Mexican native and Wilkinson. In a birthday tribute seven years later, the model called their daughter her “BFF from day one.” In an Instagram slideshow from May 2021, Wilkinson described Alijah as her “beautiful, smart, and loving daughter.”
In September 2018, she and Baskett announced their breakup on Instagram. “We are both amazing parents, and our kids will be happy and never know the difference,” the actress told her fans at the time. “Love can be funny at times.” We’re told that if it’s true love, we should make sacrifices, and in this case, it’s me. I’d like to see Hank in a better mood once more. That’s something I’ve missed. Marriage was only a piece of paper and a bauble, but our hearts will always be real.”

“Love triumphs,” said the Kendra alum. It simply appears to be amusing in this case. Thank you for eight wonderful years of marriage and two wonderful children, Hank. “I am grateful and fortunate.”
The news came just a week after Us Weekly confirmed Wilkinson’s divorce from Baskett in an exclusive report. Their divorce was finalized in February 2019, with a separation date of January 2018.
The California native updated Us on their coparenting relationship exclusively in April 2021. The Girls Next Door alum explained at the time, “It’s stable.” “We’ve come a long way.” “Everything gets better with time.”
