She might have been through hell because her husband, Hank Baskett, (allegedly) cheated on her with a transgender model, and she’s “fleeing” from him to Australia, but Kendra Wilkinson isn’t yet ready to give up on her marriage.

Just hours after she told the media that she was “single” and might even be on the lookout for a Tarzan in the jungle of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, her publicist is making sure everybody gets the right message: Kendra is not divorcing Hank.

What a tangled web she weaves

Since June this year, when news broke that Hank Baskett had slept around on Kendra in April, when she was still pregnant with their second child, the former Playboy Bunny has been changing her story all the time, depending on the media outlet she was talking to.

First, she denied the cheating ever happened, then she said she would divorce Hank, then she defended him and said they would be together for ever, then she accused Ava London (the model he allegedly cheated with) of blackmail and extortion, then she denied the cheating happened (again), then she renewed her vows, and then she announced she was divorcing Hank.

With this in mind and the fact that Kendra got “material” for 3 reality shows from the split, it’s no wonder more and more people are starting to buy into the theories that she and Hank (and London too, probably) created the scandal as a PR move to further their career.

This certainly seems to be the case with this denial.

“Single” comment was “taken out of context”

This is what Kendra’s publicist is telling Us Weekly right now, some hours after news of the impending divorce made headlines. According to the rep, Kendra only said that she was single “for the time being,” i.e. during the duration of the shoot for I’m a Celebrity, because her husband and kids couldn’t accompany her to Australia.

“Kendra and Hank continue to work on their marriage. Nothing has changed,” the publicist adds. He doesn’t say what that situation before the alleged change that didn’t happen was, but last we heard, they had renewed their wedding vows.

The reason you haven’t heard about it is because they did it on the season finale of Celebrity Marriage Boot Camp, so the show has exclusivity on that. But the ceremony will be featured on the show, make no mistake about it.

Neither does the publicist say anything about Kendra’s comment on wanting to meet a Tarzan in the jungle and about being open to the idea of dating a man with a British accent, which she loves. This might seem like a funny joke to make as an icebreaker, but in the context in which her marriage is falling apart, it came across as confirmation that she and Hank were done. So… how about that?
