Kendra Wilkinson Navigates Successful Co-Parenting with Hank Baskett Post-Divorce: Grateful to Have Him (Exclusive)

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett's journey since their 2018 divorce is a testament to resilience and growth. The former Playboy model, at 38, shares that their co-parenting relationship is thriving, despite the past hurdles of marriage struggles and infidelity.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Kendra opens up about forgiveness, acknowledging that people make mistakes, even in relationships. She emphasizes that Hank, at 41, is an incredible father and co-parent, deserving of all good things. Despite the challenges they faced during their marriage, Kendra believes that what happened in the past doesn't define who Hank is today.

The couple's bond took an unexpected turn during a mental health crisis in September, leading to Kendra's hospitalization. Sitting by her side in the emergency room, Hank's support became a pivotal moment for both of them. Kendra appreciates Hank's willingness to help and acknowledges that he doesn't owe her anything. She values the fact that he was there when she needed support the most.

Reflecting on their co-parenting dynamic, Kendra expresses gratitude for having Hank as a consistent figure in their family unit. She highlights the importance of focusing on what they have rather than dwelling on what they don't. Kendra sees co-parenting as a giving process, an act of nurturing the positive aspects of their relationship for the sake of their children.

For a long time, Kendra held onto the hope of reconciling with Hank. However, she eventually let go of that dream and started focusing on herself. She realized that love could exist between them even without being married. The grieving process was challenging, and Kendra admits that she still wakes up sometimes, surprised that she's no longer married to Hank. This realization has kept her from dating as she tries to shake off the remnants of her divorce.

The divorce also exacerbated her depression, as being with another man reminded her of the end of her marriage. After taking time for her mental health, Kendra feels ready to embrace the future, even though the prospect of dating and the unknown still evoke fear. She acknowledges the need to move on and is cautiously optimistic about what lies ahead, determined not to make any hasty decisions.

In Kendra's journey of healing and self-discovery, the story unfolds as a tale of forgiveness, gratitude, and the courage to face the uncertainties of the future.
