Kendra: "Hank Deserves a Lot More Sex"


If there's one person out there who has never made a secret about how much she loved having sex with her husband, it's Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett.
But that was then. Sadly, Kendra tells me she and Hank are not as, well, active as they used to be.
Even sadder, she reveals that the two talked about splitting up...
"He deserves a lot more sex, he definitely does," Kendra told E!'s Marc Malkin.
"Women can be so crazy at times and forget about our men. You know, they need some love. They need some loving, too."
Even so, the couple is doing just fine. In fact, they're stronger than ever. However, the relationship wasn't as steady following the birth of baby Hank Jr. when Kendra was struggling with severe depression. It certainly didn't help things when they seemed to be moving to a different city every day as Hank was being bounced between football teams.
"I gave him an expiration date. We didn't have a home. Our stuff was scattered all over the United States. We had tax bills sent to three cities. I went crazy. I had a meltdown."
She finally put her foot down.
"I was like, 'If we don't find a home in such and such a time, I'm going to have to leave you for awhile so I can find a home. I have to do this for our baby,' We set the expiration date—not to divorce, but to separate."
Fortunately that day never came. Season four of Kendra shows them buying and moving into their new L.A. area home.
We'll also see Kendra competing on Dancing with the Stars. She reveals in the new book that she and her partner Louis Van Amstel didn't get along too well.
"I didn't have as much fun as I thought I would have. But when I look at the big picture, it got me back on my feet. I give credit to Dancing With the Stars and Louis for getting me back on my feet."
Kendra Wilkinson Warns Husband Hank Baskett: No More Babies Until You Get a Job!


Now that his NFL football career is coming to an end, Kendra wants to settle down and focus on building their family in Los Angeles. ”I love traveling, but I didn’t love living in so many places,” she told In Touch. “It messed me up a lot. LA is definitely where I need to be.” According to the magazine, in the past three years, the Basketts have lived in about ten different houses.
Kendra explained that in this tough economy, she wants to make sure her and her husband both have a steady source of income before they have another baby. ”I married him because I trust him, and I know he will do anything to make sure that his family is taken care of,” she stated. She says Hank is looking into broadcasting and public speaking.
So what can we look forward to once Hank gets settled? ”We’ll have another baby. For sure. Right away,” Kendra revealed.

Kendra Wilkinson's Secret Breakdown


In public, Kendra Wilkinson always tries to portray herself as a happy homemaker. Bubbly and vibrant, she can often be seen playing in the park with her husband, Hank Baskett, and their son, Hank Jr. But behind the gates of their Calabasas, Calif., mansion, Kendra had been hiding a terrible secret — she was suffering from a depression so intense, she’d often lock herself in her closet to scream and cry.
“I felt devastated, helpless — like I was in a black hole,” Kendra tells In Touch in an exclusive interview, while watching Wiggles DVDs with her 21-monthold on a Sunday afternoon.
In fact, the former Playboy Playmate has had so many dark days within the last two years since struggling with postpartum depression, her wild mood swings almost destroyed her marriage — and her life. “I was a mess and a wreck,” says Kendra, who details her bout with the blues in the new book Being Kendra, out on September 20.
“I felt like nobody cared about me anymore. I had so much anger inside. I even thought of harming myself.”
Once sexy and self-confident, Kendra, 26, now felt so unattractive, she shares, that she would brush her teeth in the pitch-dark “so I wouldn’t have to look at myself in the mirror.” And she kept her distance from her husband. “Hank and I slept in separate bedrooms,” confides Kendra.
But ultimately, Kendra opted not to repeat the damaging behavior of her youth — and sought counseling. It was the best decision she ever made. Now looking and feeling like her old self, Kendra is enjoying her son, her husband — and, finally, her success. “I feel great,” she insists. “I’m going to live my life happy.”

Kendra Wilkinson: My New Sex Life After Baby


Since becoming a mom, Kendra Wilkinson says she and NFL hubby Hank Baskett have had to cool things down between the sheets.
Giving readers a play-by-play of a typical scenario of "spontaneous" sex between her and Baskett, Wilkinson explains in her new book Being Kendra that "as parents, now we have to try to fit in sex whenever we can."
"In a nutshell, that's my new sex life as a mom," writes the 26-year-old star of E!'s Kendra, which premieres Sunday at 11 p.m. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."
Wilkinson, who refuses to "buy into that whole belief that married couples don't have sex," doesn't ever plan to eliminate lovemaking from the relationship altogether.
"I try to keep my marriage exciting and make sure Hank is happy. He's my support system."
Being Kendra hits shelves on September 20.

BRINGING THEIR FAMILY HOME TO CALIFORNIA AND PUTTING DOWN ROOTS IS JOB #1 FOR KENDRA AND HANK AS THEY LOOK FOR BALANCE BETWEEN WORK AND FAMILY WHEN THE HIT SERIES "KENDRA" RETURNS FOR ITS 4TH SEASON PREMIERE ON E!
"Kendra" Premieres Sunday, September 25 at 11:00 PM Following the Series Premiere of E!'s New One-Hour Docu-Series "Dirty Soap" at 10:00 PM ET/PT
Los Angeles, CA - August 30, 2011 - It's time for Kendra to put down roots at last when E!'s eponymous series returns for its fourth season premiere. The Baskett family -- Kendra, husband Hank and Little Hank-- finally "slide into home" in their new LA digs following years of cross-country moves. Doing so puts Kendra right back where the action is and positions her perfectly for her Hollywood career ambitions. Of course, this will challenge Kendra and Hank to find just the right balance between the personal and the professional.
Following a successful but intense run on "Dancing with the Stars," Kendra is busily writing her second book and the Basketts are considering another baby. But even as Kendra's work life is busier than ever, Hank's football career seems to be on very shaky ground -- which makes long-term planning for the celebrity couple both stressful and uncertain. But rolling with life's punches is what Kendra is known for, and the Basketts are more than used to dealing with unexpected challenges thrown their way. Together, the Basketts will emerge stronger and even more committed to one another as family always remains their top priority. "Kendra" premieres in its new timeslot on Sunday, September 25 at 11:00 pm ET/PT only on E!
The season kicks off with a hilarious encounter with Kendra and Hank's quirky new neighbors, who play an over-the-top practical joke on the neighborhood's newest residents. Kendra's decision-making skills are put to the ultimate test by all the decorating choices she needs to make for the new home. Meanwhile, a confrontation with Kendra's agent flares up after paparazzi photograph Kendra outside a high-end Beverly Hills restaurant -- in basketball shorts and flip-flops. When the agent demands that Kendra "step up her game" and live up to the expectations of a celebrity lifestyle, Kendra gets defensive. She suggests that the agency focus less on what Kendra's wearing and more on finding Hank some work -- given that he hasn't yet found a spot on an NFL team.
The episode ends with a laugh-filled housewarming BBQ, attended by friends, neighbors, Hank's NFL teammates -- and even Kendra's "Dancing with the Stars" pals, Louis Van Amstel and Karina Smirnoff.
Other highlights this season include:
§ Escalating family drama, as Kendra's work obligations -- and some misunderstandings -- strain some of the most important relationships in her life.
§ A romantic -- and hilarious -- second honeymoon in Cancun, Mexico.
§ A fantastic professional opportunity for Kendra via a screen-test for a new TV show starring comedian Jon Lovitz.
§ Hank is challenged as he navigates the uncertainty of his NFL career -- and considers his options for when his playing days come to an end.
§ Kendra hires her friend Victoria Fuller as a nanny to care for Little Hank -- and then playing matchmaker to help find the recently separated Victoria her first date in more than 14 years!
Kendra is produced by Prometheus Entertainment, Alta Loma Entertainment and Fox Television Studios. Executive Producer is Kevin Burns, the multiple Emmy® Award-winning producer of numerous non-fiction cable series and specials.





Kendra Wilkinson's Parenting Tips


Kendra Wilkinson believes that the key to successful parenting is to not take everything too seriously.
The 26-year-old former Playboy pinup has 21-month-old son Hank Jnr with husband Hank Baskett, and said that laughter is the best medicine when it comes to toddler tantrums.
“If he cries for two hours, I’m going to laugh at him for two hours because he’s turning two,” the reality star told Baby Zone.
“So he’ll go for about two hours screaming and crying nonstop and all he wants is me to pick him up.We have a lot of personality in our family and we love each other so much and we can talk smack to e ach other and laugh about it and have fun with it. And he's getting that, too. He's getting my laugh, too.”
Speaking of her favorite parenting moments, she said,
“Baby Hank is the most thoughtful little boy. He cares so much about others, more than he cares about himself. And whenever I see him share with someone or give someone a hug or be thoughtful, that’s the best thing to see… He naturally is a warm person.”

Kendra Wilkinson: I’m Back to Being Me After Battling PPD


Nearly two years after welcoming son Hank, first-time mom Kendra Wilkinson has officially bounced back.
“[After I had a baby,] I felt like I had to be a different person. I had to be conservative and wear turtlenecks and be someone that I wasn’t. Now that I have my body back and I feel good again, I have the perfect amount of balance. It’s all about finding the balance.”
However, learning to juggle her family of three — including husband Hank Baskett — and still maintain her own sense of self was anything but easy for the Being Kendra: Cribs, Cocktails, and Getting My Sexy Back author, who has been open about her battle with postpartum depression.
“It got pretty bad, [but] not to the point where I would harm my family. I was a great mom and did what I needed to, but I was definitely very depressed. [Motherhood is] a big change in life and it happened overnight.”
For Wilkinson, 26, she believes the problem began when all of her attention turned toward her son, leaving little time for herself. And when she felt the public pressure to regain her body after baby, the reality star admits the heat became too much to handle.
“At the time I was doing whatever I could for the baby, but I lost myself and it was really frustrating. Being in the spotlight is a lot of pressure about losing the weight, [especially] coming from the Playboy world.”
Noting that “a lot of women suffer from PPD,” Wilkinson hopes that sharing her story offers a support system for others facing the same struggles. ”It needs to be talked about,” she explains.
Now happily settled into her new lifestyle, Wilkinson admits she has learned to “still have a lot of fun” — albeit to the beat of a different drum. “It’s a whole different life, but a better life,” she says.
“Your baby is no. 1 100 percent of the time, but I do still take me time – you need to do that every now and then. I’m back to being that Kendra that everyone knew at the Playboy Mansion, but a lot more mature and grown up. I’m more aware of life.”
