The ascent continues! Kendra on Top star Kendra Wilkinson and her husband Hank Baskett posed together on the red carpet of the Dead Rising: Watchtower world premiere in L.A., on Wednesday, Mar. 11, both smiling just five months after his cheating scandal nearly tore their marriage apart.
The parents of Hank Jr., 5, and Alijah, 9 months, wore matching outfits for their latest joint public appearance — which have been sparse since news of his alleged affair with a transgender model broke last October. Wilkinson, 29, smiled in a flattering black dress and blazer, while her husband dressed in a cream suit. At one point, he affectionately rested his hand on her butt while posing for photos.
Wilkinson and Baskett, 32, were later snapped sharing a lighthearted laugh as they made their way into the theater. The pair’s red carpet moment comes one day after WE tv announced that they’ve signed on for season three of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.
The former Playmate’s world was flipped upside down last fall after her husband’s alleged affair with Ava Sabrina London — which supposedly went down in April 2014 while Wilkinson was eight months pregnant with the couple’s second child — was exposed.
In late November, the couple opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about their struggle — and why she decided to take him back.
“It’s going to take a lifetime to trust him again,” Wilkinson told Us. “All I can say is I believe Hank. I love Hank. And he’s proven to me that he’s worth forgiving and fighting for… He was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and unfortunate things took place. He’s very gullible and naive.”
Baskett told Us that he would do whatever it takes to make his marriage work. “I will spend my life trying to get Kendra to trust me again,” the former pro football player said. “Our relationship is still day-to-day. I’m still working on regaining Kendra’s trust.”
A source recently told Us that the couple are “doing better now than they have been in a long time.”
