Why Kendra Wilkinson Really Moved Back to LA

You can't put a southern California girl in the snowy Midwest for too long. After living in Indianapolis last winter with NFL wide receiver husband Hank Baskett and their now 11-month-old son Hank IV,
Kendra Wilkinson had to say no to a second season of snow.
When the E! reality TV star learned her handsome hubby had signed with the Minnesota Vikings, she had to put her foot down.
"Kendra has been an amazing wife and mom, but she had to make a real adjustment in her life and career last year to live in Indianapolis when Hank signed with the Colts," a source close to Kendra tells
PopEater. "Now, he is with Minnesota, which is so cold, remote and far away from LA. She had to make a decision despite having disagreements with Hank about it."
So Wilkinson and baby Hank are living in LA, where she can promote her projects, exercise outside, lay in the sun, run on the beach and be near her family.
Although Wilkinson met some great people in Indianapolis and Philadelphia, where Baskett had signed with the Eagles, neither city made her feel as happy and fulfilled as Los Angeles.
"When Kendra's girlfriends came to visit her in Indianapolis, it was hard for them to find somewhere cool to go," says the source. "There are many great restaurants and lots of shops. But for a girl's night out, nothing came close to what Kendra loves about Los Angeles and Las Vegas."
While busy with the baby and her life in Los Angeles, Wilkinson misses her husband. She told Life & Style, "Not having him around hurts".
Wilkinson says she plans to take Hank IV to Minnesota for Thanksgiving, his first birthday on Dec.11 and Christmas.
"Their marriage will be stronger because of the distance," the source says.

So why should we be concerned about a Porn Star and her travails with her semi-famous 2nd string football playing husband?
Yes kiddies, Kendra has made Porn movies! What a good role model.

Hubby Hank is on the bubble with every team he plays on. He'll be lucky to get in two more seasons. After that, the marriage will go south in a hurry. Hank is the nicest guy but Kendra will ditch him after he's no longer a pro athlete.

WHO CARES - I AM FROM MINNESOTA, BORN AND RAISED THERE, AND IT IS THE HEALTHIEST STATE IN THE UNITED STATES TO LIVE IN. AND THE PEOPLE ARE FANTASTIC.

No wonder Hollywood marriages don't usually last! How incredibly selfish of this plastic doll, but then, Hank, this is what you get when you are a journeyman NFL wide receiver and not Tom Brady. So FYI, Hank, those wedding vows of for better or worse actually only meant when they are agreeable to and for me. Sure hope you didn't get married in California with all of the 50-50 in divorce proceedings there.

promote what work? the camera crew follows her around no matter where she goes what else does she need? i guess she isnt happy unless shes in the spotlight and at every event...why bother getting married to leave him behind guess she doesnt understand what marriage is or what a football player does

What a stupid selfish b!tch. I live in California and a majority of them are like this. And they wonder why they're unhappy all the time. Just divorce like normal celebrities and get it over with already!

I can't believe that there are so many stories about poor Kendra having to adjust to life as a single parent. Give me a break - this was her decision, and it was an incredibly stupid and selfish one. Maybe sympathy should go out to Hank and Hank Jr. instead, for they are the real victims. Kendra needs to stop her whining and fade out of the public eye. There are much more attractive and talented people than her and can be found just about anywhere.

I think that staying in one place is actually good for her baby. Children ARE sensitive to too much instability when they have to move from place to place. I think she is doing a good thing.

Whoever gave this brainless bimbo the idea she was worth watching as a performer was in it for a b...job or something equally absurd!
She has about as much entertainment appeal as a trained seal....and frankly I'd rather hear a seal's screech than that phony laugh! With really talented people out there, why does this pitiful character get any press time at all?????? She needs to go back to the grotto with a tin cup and keep on keeping on there.

what a bee-otch....kendra's not full filled...boo hoo hoo....

Well you can't make a HOE into a HOUSEWIFE!!! Kendra is so set on living like a TRAMP i feel sorry for Hank because he is trying hard to hang onto that strip club hoe. He deserves better than her.
Reply
Stability!! the only place Kendra will be moving to is one strip club after the other. That poor baby is going to end up in his dad and grandparents custody mark my words. Once Kendra starts hoeing around again you won't be able to stop her, it's what she loves most!!!

I was born in Indiana. At 27 I moved to Cal. At 50 I moved back to Indiana because I thought I was homesick. At 55 I moved back to Cal. Couldn't take the cold winters and humid summers.
But my advice to someone so young, GRIN AND BEAR IT. And talk! Nothing in life is permanent. You all can move where-ever you want when he's rich and retired. (Which will be soon in a sports career.) If you love him and if you love your child, who needs a family, you will stay with him. Unfortunately, the photos I've seen of you since moving back say, F888ck me I'm single. Yes, it's that obvious. Wake up and smell the money.

After 3 attempts to post a response, this site is blocking me from doing so. Wow it's aggravating to be given a chance to speak your mind and then be blocked from doing so, for whatever reason!

I really have to control myself from calling this woman some very choice words! I have been trying to ignore this article but this is the 3rd or 4th day now it has been thrown in our faces. Whoever does her publicizing must pay these sites to keep it going. I have absolutely no sympathy for this whining, self absorbed, over-rated person. The only other thing I am going to say is, Kendra, please think about military wives and woman who really suffer when their husbands are away for YEARS at a time, fighting for theirs and our lives you spoiled, stupid brat!

Yet that got posted. Either too many words in my response, or I said something that a filter blocked. Oh well. This article is saddening on behalf of women and their decisions, and hopefully she gets knocked off her high horse soon. Maybe realizes there is sacrifice involved in keeping a family strong.

Too add to my previous thoughts: Not all women, just the ones who are so sheltered that the guys who try to give them their dreams sit there and scratch their heads at their incredibly poor decisions that are destructive to a family.

don't blame her a bit....I cannot believe she lived in Indianapolis...you don't live there you just exist...I existed there for 25yrs,4months 3days,4hrs...didn't waste time counting minutes leaving...I remember the ice at the end of my drive at daylight May 1st, the day I left. She is a great looking lady...she should live anywhere she wants...the men will line up for her....I wouldn't raise my child in the tundra....they miss too much...
