What Happened to Hank Baskett?

Henry Randall Baskett III, known professionally as Hank Baskett, began his career as a promising athlete. Born on September 4, 1982, in Clovis, New Mexico, he excelled in college football at the University of New Mexico, where he was a leading receiver and earned All-Mountain West Conference honors. Despite going undrafted in 2006, Baskett signed with the Minnesota Vikings and was quickly traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent the majority of his NFL career as a wide receiver. He also had a stint with the Indianapolis Colts in 2009, playing in Super Bowl XLIV, before his professional football career concluded in 2011 after a second period with the Vikings.

Baskett's public profile dramatically expanded through his relationship with Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson. The couple married on June 27, 2009, at the Playboy Mansion, and their lives became the subject of the popular E! reality series 'Kendra' (2009-2011), followed by 'Kendra on Top' (2012-2017) on WE tv. During this period, they welcomed two children: son Henry Randall 'Hank' Baskett IV, born in December 2009, and daughter Alijah Mary Baskett, born in May 2014.

Their marriage faced significant challenges in 2014 when reports surfaced of Baskett having an alleged affair while Wilkinson was eight months pregnant. This scandal became a central storyline on 'Kendra on Top,' leading to intense public scrutiny and emotional turmoil for the couple. Despite attempts to reconcile, Wilkinson announced their separation and filed for divorce in April 2018. After several delays due to paperwork errors, their divorce was officially finalized on February 21, 2019.

Since the divorce, Baskett has maintained a considerably lower public profile. He has focused on co-parenting his children with Wilkinson, with both parents often expressing their commitment to a positive co-parenting relationship. In 2022, Baskett remarried, tying the knot with Heather Witt in a less publicized ceremony. He has also been noted for his involvement in online gaming and a fitness app. In a testament to their effective co-parenting, Baskett supported Wilkinson during a mental health crisis and hospitalization in September 2023.

As of August 2026, Baskett continues to prioritize his family life. His son, Hank IV, has shown significant athletic talent, being admitted to a college preparatory school in April 2024 and, at just 16 years old, receiving two college offers from Alabama State University and Idaho State University in July 2026. Baskett's current life reflects a shift from the intense media spotlight of his reality TV days to a more private existence centered on his family and personal endeavors. His estimated net worth in mid-2026 ranges from $1 million to $4 million, with some projections for 2025 reaching $6 million, derived from his NFL earnings, reality TV appearances, and other ventures.
