Kendra Wilkinson 'takes back' cheating husband Hank Baskett

She flushed her wedding rings down the toilet after allegations emerged that her husband had cheated on her with a transsexual model.

But a new report claims that Kendra Wilkinson has taken back her estranged husband Hank Baskett after he told her his side of the story.

The 29-year-old has reportedly allowed Hank, a former NFL star, to come home after nearly two months apart.

A source told Life & Style that Baskett offered his wife a 'totally absurd story' where he claimed he had been in the same building as transsexual model Ava London to help fix something in a female friend's apartment.

While there, the insider says, the former pro athlete claims London made 'unwanted sexual advances' but asserts he felt 'violated' by the encounter.

The source claims that Kendra bought his version of what happened while her friends are more than suspicious of the narrative.

'Her friends don't trust him,' the confidante stated, 'but there's no convincing Kendra that Hank is lying.'

While another source says Kendra may just be getting back together with Hank to boost ratings on their WEtv reality series.

MailOnline has contacted Kendra Wilkinson's reps for comment.

Kendra flew to Costa Rica with Baskett in mid August to film episodes of the reality series Kendra On Top, where she reunited with her 56-year-old father Eric who she has not seen since she was a 'little girl,' according to a Wednesday report from UsWeekly.

'Kendra and Hank slept in different rooms,' a source told the publication. 'She is not taking him back.'

  

The only reason Hank was there was to appear on the WE tv reality show and to help take care of their son Hank IV, aged four.

'He's contractually obligated to appear on the series,' added a source.

When he arrived back in LA on Monday, the former football star appeared to be in good spirits, however, as he collected his luggage with his son trailing close behind.

The 31-year-old athlete still had his wedding band on.

Kendra was not seen with him and most likely took a separate flight with her daughter Alijah, aged three months.

On Friday the couple of five years was spotted lunching outdoors at Lola's restaurant on the beach.

Sitting at opposite ends of the wood bench table with their son Hank Jr between them, the two turned away from one another.

Neither looked to be in great spirits.

Kendra ignored her husband to chat to a female friend, while he focused glumly on his meal as he touched his baseball cap.

It was clear the trip was more about business than pleasure.

They are in the midst of a marriage meltdown which is playing out on Kendra OnTop with the Playboy centerfold incensed over the revelations about Hank's alleged cheating.

She claims she went as far as flushing her wedding ring down the toilet in the teaser for season three, which premieres on WE tv on October 3.

In the clip she is seen sobbing.

Her eyes welled up as she stated that her five-year marriage to the football star was over in a clip from the series. She said: 'Our marriage is down the drain. I flushed my wedding rings down the toilet. Every word that came from the tabloids, boom... boom... boom,' she trailed off.

'When did he do this? While you were eight months pregnant. Boom. I'm like, "Oh, my god." I felt like it wasn't even a punch, I was getting shot,' the blonde added.

Earlier this month Kendra sported an I'm Not Sorry T-shirt that put blame for the marital 'meltdown' squarely on Hank's shoulders.

Hank reportedly had an affair with a transsexual model who divulged details of their get-togethers in tell-all interviews with Star and The National Enquirer.

The Girls Next Door star has also been feuding with her mother Patti. The 55-year-old updated her Facebook status on Monday, writing a bitter statement about the young mother of her grandchildren.

'Well I continue to be hurt & disrespected by my daughter,' Patti wrote. 'So please don't mention her or ask me anything about her. Thanks!'

The note comes after Patti and Kendra made amends in June, after claims Kendra's husband Hank allegedly cheated on her with a transexual model.

The pair appeared to put their differences aside as Patti tweeted at the time that she was travelling from her residence in San Diego, California to Los Angeles.
