Hank Baskett Dating Kendra Wilkinson (Photos)

Posted on: September 22nd, 2008 by: Meg46 comments

Hank Baskett, 26, a wide receiver, formerly for the NFL Philadelphia Eagles and now of the Indianapolis Colts, was dating Playboy model and reality star Kendra Wilkinson and has since married her. The 26 year old athlete is from Clovis, Texas and was named a special teams MVP last year.

Wilkinson, 23, is on E! networks reality television show The Girls Next Door and is one of a trio of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends, along with Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison.

According to Kendra Wilkinson’s MySpace page, HB3 (Hank Baskett III) is her hero. Under his personal profile, she has penned HB3 in LOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!!!! Word on the street is that the couple is ENGAGED. Now that’s news.

Kendra sat in a private box, early in their courtship, at the Eagles and Steelers game as Baskett’s guest. The wide receiver didn’t disappoint with 8 catches for 85 yards – a career best for Baskett. The Eagles prevailed with a 15-6 win over Pittsburgh.

The couple were also spotted having dinner at Redstone restaurant in Marlston, PA recently. What must poor OLD octogenarian Hugh Hefner be thinking?

Kendra appears to be trying out a new brunette bob hairstyle in some of these photos. It is likely a wig but we think she looks hot in the darker shade.

Check out our photo gallery below. Kendra recently had a ‘dumb blonde moment’.

UPDATE: June 10, 2009–Kendra and Hank have confirmed that she is pregnant. See baby bump photo here.

Antonio, on November 9th, 2008 at 3:08 am Said:

for cryin out loud, stop turning this into a black man – white woman syndrome example.

Hank is a bit lost and has a Lot of money. Kendra makes a good trophy to carry around and a good play toy in the bed. nothing more.

This is how deep most celebrity marriages are.

You bunch of haters. kendra is beautiful and hank is a cutie. stop hating on the girl.
Posie, on November 11th, 2008 at 12:05 am Said:

I really so not care for inter racial couples. I think that Kendra is just too cute and above this guy…whoever he is. What I don’t get is, if Hef was her hero then what the heck is she doing with this thing. What are you thinking Kendra. Odds are it won’t last. He is USING you.
Carrie, on November 11th, 2008 at 10:08 pm Said:

Girls next door was a guilty pleasure, and I grew to like these girls. So what if most celeb marriages have short engagements or that he’s black and she’s white. Honestly, how is this affecting your life? Answer me that sunshine and where it’s your job to decide who should be together.

Hey Hank — what does Hugh taste like?
Christy, on November 30th, 2008 at 2:26 pm Said:

I know Hank’s parents they are awesome people and never ever shown anything racial. They will welcome her in their lives with open arms. They cherish family and they are so proud of both of their sons!!
Magen, on December 14th, 2008 at 3:24 am Said:

Are you guys really that stupid? he is not from Clovis, Texas!! There is no such place!! He is from Clovis, New Mexico.
Carmen NYC, on December 18th, 2008 at 9:18 pm Said:

I am very happy for the two of them who are we to judge!!!! THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!!!!!! let them be happy!!!!! I love both Kendra and Hank and I cant wait to see there babies!!!!!
Tiger J, on December 22nd, 2008 at 8:13 am Said:

Those of you with your ’slimy’ remarks, i.e., what Hugh ‘tastes like’ should be ashamed of yourselves, frankly. Instead of wishing the best for other people, you write dirty and filthy things about them.
Just shows what goes on inside your ‘not so intelligent minds’ or, in reality, what’s NOT inside your head, like – a brain – maybe?

How about just wishing the best for other people, just like YOU would like others to wish the best for YOU when YOUR turn comes around, aye?

Lillian, on January 15th, 2009 at 10:52 pm Said:

How are they an interracial couple when he’s half white? Their kids will be white. No one has a problem with ugly women and black men like his mom, sorry but she fits the stereotype of white women with black men. Kendra is pretty sexy, and white men assume those types belong to them. I love it. Kendra is my favorite, and I could tell that she was into black culture, especially after that rap show on MTV. Get over it jealous white men, and find an Asian to make it all better.
Janet, on January 17th, 2009 at 12:24 am Said:

Hey, I think Kendra is great. She’s extra silly for the show. She’s a beautiful tomboy, what more could a guy want. I’m glad she’s growing up and focusing on her future. The problem with this world is everybody judges everyone. Live and let live……………………………
Liv, on February 23rd, 2009 at 3:03 pm Said:

I am SO happy for Kendra and Hank. She’s always been my favorite of Hef’s girlfriends. She has a great personality and I’m glad she’s getting away from the Playmate-Lifestyle. Good for you two!
Nick, on February 28th, 2009 at 12:58 am Said:

Who Cares what you all think? Let them do whatever. People like you make these creeps richer daily cause you talk about them…
Oh shit! I have been drawn into this mess.
Get a life people.
frank, on March 9th, 2009 at 11:14 pm Said:

Good luck Kendra and Hank…………………………
schwinn, on March 16th, 2009 at 11:47 pm Said:

This relation will not work…two totally opposite….they will clash….hank will dump her as soon as he has enough…she will drive hank nuts…..i’ll say less than a year of marriage.
lilkunta, on March 19th, 2009 at 11:50 am Said:

Lillian : They are interETHNIC [bc there is just 1 race: HUMAN)
bc Hank is Anglo& AAfrAm while Kendra is jsut Anglo.

So they’re kids will be 1/4 AfrAm & 3/4 Anglo.

U get it now? Goof/

Lauren, on March 23rd, 2009 at 4:43 pm Said:

I find it funny how people completely ignore the HALF WHITE side of Hank..he is a mixed individual..people do the same thing with Barack Obama..he is MIXED..I find it wrong to completely ignore the other race he has in him..

i think they make a nice couple and if Hank likes it, more power to the both of them! It doesnt matter if Hank is black, white, asian, hispanic..whatever, love is love.
Anna, on March 30th, 2009 at 8:03 am Said:

Yes, hank is half white, half black. Kendra is white, so their children would actually be white.
And what does it matter, if he’s half white or half black. Love seen no colour.

Let people live their life!
ameto, on April 9th, 2009 at 4:56 pm Said:

People, if you think that all the relationship that you’ve been in has been perfect, then you have the right to judge hank and kendra. but if not then i suggest that you keep your stupid and racial comment to your selfs.
good luck to the new couple.
Natalie, on May 4th, 2009 at 9:02 pm Said:

I went to high school with Hank, he is an amazing guy. Kendra is a lucky gal, and very lucky to have him. She must be as special for Hank to have made her his. Good luck to both of you…I am looking foward to the wedding!
Natalie, on May 4th, 2009 at 9:03 pm Said:

forward…woopsie!
Anita, on May 24th, 2009 at 8:57 am Said:

The truth is the child will not be white. The child will be of mixed race. Whom ever has the more dominate gene will determine which genes are more prominent in the child. Tiger Woods kids look more Anglo. Garcelle Beauvais twins has almost none of her genes in terms of pigmentation. But in the end it is there choice.
jenna, on June 3rd, 2009 at 10:24 am Said:

i think kendra is getting some good loving with out the use of viagra from that old smelly hef all he have is money she is young and pretty she dont want a old smelly guy on her for the rest of her live she want kids and a young stud to keep up with her so all you haters get a life . whats the big deal any ways they havent committed any crime
Nikki, on June 7th, 2009 at 8:52 pm Said:

Isn’t Hank mixed? So what difference does it make if their kids are one race or another, as long as their healthy and loved, and if the couple is happy, and don’t have a problem with the race issue, then no one else should either.

Good luck to both of them!
Roddy, on June 9th, 2009 at 8:57 pm Said:

sorry but ask any sociologist.Given the history of people of color in this country, all people of color, those kids will be looked at not much differently than hank is looked at, same as halle kids her daughter will be looked at similarly to how her mother is perceived. Everyone seems to ignore that Rosa parks, Malcolm x, and many others were multiracial individuals, however been multiracial didn’t stop the oppression, and that legacy has been passed down and passed down. That’s what it is to be Afro-American, most of us are multiracial, many Africans have multiracial ancestry. To be black is definitely surpasses racial mixture. However I also think that all people should be allowed to observe their ancestry.

Actually, Clovis is on the border of Texas and NM. and some people Like HIS PARENTS, live on the texas side!
jocelyn, on June 16th, 2009 at 8:36 pm Said:

i live in clovis NEW MEXICO and hank is a really cool guy sexy to:) and race shouldnt be an issue he is half white so obviously his family isint ignorant like some of the ppl on the website
Sekritred, on June 28th, 2009 at 11:34 pm Said:

1st of Mr. Roddy up top there, EVERYONE is of some type of multi-race because there is NO such thing as a pure race!! Because of moving from country to country over time all races mixed with people indigineous to the region, therefore, eventually mixing and mixing and mixing, making it impossible to NOW have a pure race in ANY race not just “peopl of color.” That means the white race/European, mexican Spanish, Iraqi, etc!! so at this point ummmm what are you really trying to say????
Tim, on June 30th, 2009 at 7:07 am Said:

Congrats to Hank on his marriage……But we know
it won’t last….they never do………..
Hayley, on July 13th, 2009 at 7:54 am Said:

lurvvv you kendra and hankkyyy
Gwen, on July 28th, 2009 at 3:55 pm Said:

I can’t believe everyone is so negative about Hank and Kendra, they love each other and I bet you they DO last. You all who left ignorant RACIST comments should leave them alone, yes hank is mixed and kendra is white and you know what just because shes blond and was in playboy doesnt make her stupid, hank picked a good girl. I wish them all the best they will have a beautiful baby!
ASKIRT, on August 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 pm Said:

YOU TWO MAKE A GREAT COUPLE. I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE AND KENDRA GIRL YOU ROCKED THAT WIG. DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU DONT LOOK HOT IN IT. PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH BLONDES YOU LOOK GOOD EITHER WAY. BE BLESSED AND HANK IS A HOTTIE.
RJ, on August 9th, 2009 at 4:17 pm Said:

Everyone is just hating, I hope that they stay together. I am from Clovis too and went to high school with Hank he is a genuine person and has very good morals. Hank’s dad was also one of my teachers at the college he is also a stand up guy helping those who are less fortunate. So for all the people who like to talk shit, I dare them to come to Clovis, NEW MEXICO and talk it, cause I don’t think they will be leaving in one piece.
