14 DAY TRIAL // Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett have been married for 5 years and they welcomed their second child together a little over a month ago. They never projected anything but a very happy image of their marriage, but a new report suggests that they’re far from that.
In fact, Hank cheated on Kendra when she was still pregnant with their daughter Alijah and then, when he realized he came dangerously close to being caught, he tried to buy off the woman’s silence. Radar Online identifies the woman as Ava London, a very popular transgender model.
Ava has a considerable following online thanks to various YouTube videos she’s posted so far. A source close to her reveals for the publication that they first started flirting online but, in a matter of weeks, they had taken the affair to the next level and had become physically intimate.
As it so happens, just yesterday, word got out online that, over the weekend, Hank had left the home he shared with Kendra and the kids and checked into a motel, where he spent the night. Rumor had it that the two had gotten into a serious fight, because Hank looked very upset and distraught, but no one knew what they could have been fighting over.
If you put two and two together, you will probably conclude that Kendra found out that he’d stepped out on her when she was 8 months pregnant with their child, and that she was the one who actually kicked him out of the house.
The insider tells Radar that Kendra wants to leave Hank, which probably means she did find out about the affair.
The same tipster dishes that Hank first hooked up with Ava London at the end of April this year, after he contacted her: he had seen her videos on YouTube and was eager to get to know her in person. They met and had relations, with Hank digging in his pocket for the wallet before leaving.
“The entire encounter lasted probably about 15, 20 minutes. Before leaving, he gave her almost $500 [€367] and told her he wanted to stay in touch. They spoke a couple times after their first encounter. Hank always called from different numbers, and at least once from a pay phone,” the source says.
This was about the time that two transgender models claimed to have had some sort of affair with Casper Smart, Jennifer Lopez’s backup dancer boyfriend of almost 2 years. The two are now broken up, but they insist the decision had nothing to do with any alleged cheating on Casper’s part.
Even so, Hank freaked out, thinking word of his fling could also get out in the press, in which case his marriage would be ruined for good.
“[He] called her six times in one day to plead with her not to spill. He promised he would take care of her financially, and even left her $2,000 [€1,468] in a coffee cup at her house. He promised her $5,000 [€3,670] to keep her mouth shut, and even threatened to kill himself if the story got out!” the tipster continues.
With all his efforts, it seems that Kendra did learn of the fling.
