Kendra Wilkinson: 'I'm a Single Parent Now'

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 3rd 2010 08:51AM

Kendra Wilkinson is taking on her toughest challenge -- being an almost single parent.

The former 'Girls Next Door' star decided she would move back to Los Angeles with 11-month-old son Hank, while husband Hank Baskett is in Minnesota playing for the Vikings.

"Not having Hank around hurts," Kendra told Life & Style. "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."

Baskett, who signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in March but was cut in September, found a spot with the Vikings. Wilkinson, however, didn't want to live in Minnesota.

"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," she adds.

"When Hank left I felt lonely. He's my everything. Nobody else can really fill that loneliness," Wilkinson says.

The pair will still get to spend some time together.

"I'm going to go back to the minus-2-degree weather to spend Thanksgiving, baby Hank's 1st birthday and Christmas in a small one bedroom hotel room with my husband and son. That's all that matters to me."

Omg grow up. Quite obvious she isn't mature enough to get married, much less have a baby.

I was hoping she grew up, I was hoping they would make it, but I knew by the way she carried on they wouldn't. What makes me mad is baby Hank, she is not putting him first with his Daddy. Shame on you Kendra for being selfish.

English, what are you speaking?

Vicki you don't have a small child and move thousands of miles away. You stay and support the man you love. Husband and baby over friends. She should not have gotten married then.

Kendra, I admired you until I read your line about being single again. I really thought you had turned the pages to better chapters in your life. Obviously, you are not ready for family. I hope your husband finds a real woman with a brain this time to help him raise your son and forget you.

Your job as a wife is to be with your husband. You are a very selfish young woman. Party time with your girls is over. This makes you look cheap cheap cheap. I am 67 yrs. old. For heavens sake girl listen to your mom. Go be with Hank. Grow up. You have responsibilities, and running around isn't one of them

Poor excuse saying single mother. A wife is suppose to stay with her husband no matter where he goes. Thinking only of herself is not right and she will be sorry. Something's missing in that marriage or she would not even think about it.

By Steph

Just because a marriage fails it doesn't make a person selfish, my husband and I have been married for 7 yrs(2 kids ages 6 and 3) and are now going through a divorce, not because I am selfish and don't believe in marriage vows, but because he has serious anger problems, borders 'physical abuse, and verbally and emotionally attacks me 'punches holes in walls in front of our daughters and has lived like a bachelor going where ever he wants whenever he wants, tried telling him he was wrong, went to counseling twice he stayed the same and I can't live like this a good mom is a happy healthy mom who shows her children a healthy relationship, rather than stay with a biological father who tramples over me and puts me down. We are not selfish if we
can't stay in a marriage sometimes it can be worse to stay! although Kendra isn't a single mom she chooses to move away and raise her kids while her hubby works, like soldiers wife does when her hubby is on deployment. u have a husband u are not single!

Kendra-Grow up! So Hank is transferred, suck it up! What's wrong with you family and friends flying out to see you in Minnesota.
So it has really cold weather and a lot of snow. Deal with it. You say Hank is your everything yet you choose to leave. Knock it off, grow up and be where you are supposed to be, with Hank.

They will be divorced in a few years. Women that do not stand by their man will soon divorce them.

Unbelievable! Just to sell a magazine they imply on the cover that she and her husband are on the rocks. Anyone who bought the magazine and got duped should boycott this rag.

By Donna

Kendra still dont get it. Its not about her any more, its all about the child and his father. Kendra wants and needs to be where she can walk around wearing almost nothing. I can only hope she puts the child first on other things?
The children are the ones that end up paying for sorry parents.

By msmerlin

This selfish little b***h just blew up her marriage. If she doesn't care enough about her husband to live with him, you can be sure that there will be another woman out there who will. This guy is working hard to provide for her and their child, and she doesn't like the cold so she refuses to live with him??? Idiot! He sure picked a loser when he married and impregnated her.

By pat

Minnesota is the greatest place to raise a family - education is top notch - air us clean - not polluted - good clean family living and good people. Activites galore. She is so wrong in her thoughts - very immature and not thinking about the future. Just gimme - gimme.

What is this woman supposed to be famous for ? Does she do anything worthwhile ?

By Algonquin G. Calhoun

Are you kidding.....She's famous for.... ahhh, then there's... ahhhh, well maybe it's her....ahhh. You know what, your right, she's famous for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

By Dee Dee

So Kendra is now a single mother? PLEASE! She's far from being a single mother. She's still married (for the time being), she has money, she has a man who if he should divorce her will pay his child support. She does not struggle on a daily basis to care for her child.

Now I, on the other hand, I am a single mom! My baby's daddy has never even seen his child. Sure he pays his child support when he sees fit to keep a job but I am my baby's primary caretaker. I work to support us. We live paycheck to paycheck. I don't have a famous name or a famous husband to help support me or my child. That is a single mother.

Kendra, please don't give us single mothers a bad name by portraying yourself as one of us.

By goatcars2

These are the pitfalls of being married to a superstar. Hank is a second rate ballplayer and Kendra wants only the best. She simply can't respect a man who has little talent and no real direction in life...Kinda' like her!!!!!!!!

By John

Kendra.. You have no idea what the real world is. What a waste of time you are. Your husband follows you around like a puppy dog. We didn't want you in Philly. Apparently the Eagles didn't want your husband. Go move back with Hef.
