Kendra Wilkinson Reportedly Dating Bachelorette Alum Chad Johnson After Hank Baskett Split
Reality TV star Kendra Wilkinson is so moving on.
According to multiple media outlets, the Kendra On Top star is reportedly dating Chad Johnson of The Bachelorette fame following her highly-publicized split from ex-husband and former NFL star Hank Baskett.
The alleged pairing were reportedly spotted smiling and holding hands following what appeared to be a date at the Rocco's Tavern restaurant in Los Angeles on Monday, Jan. 21, TMZ reports. According to a source cited by Us Weekly on Wednesday, Jan. 23, "Kendra and Chad have recently been hanging out a lot more and going on super low-profile dates."
Noting that Wilkinson, 33, and Johnson, 31, are "just having fun," the magazine's insider went on to claim that while the Girls Next Door alum "is in a very healthy state" amid her divorce, she "really isn't looking to get into anything too serious right now, she's still partially recovering from her former situation with Hank."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Wilkinson first announced that she and Baskett, 36, were calling it quits in April 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage. In their separate divorce filings at the time, the former couple cited irreconcilable differences and requested joint legal and physical custody of their two young children, 9-year-old son Hank Jr. and 4-year-old daughter Alijah.
Since then, Wilkinson has been open and honest with her fans about navigating her new single life. Soon after admitting that "divorce sucks" on social media in August 2018, she was romantically linked with businessman Frank Conti.
However, at the time of this writing, it should be noted that neither Wilkinson nor Johnson have publicly commented on reports of their blossoming romance.
Elsewhere in the reality TV circuit, American Idol alum Lauren Alaina recently called off her engagement with her now-former high school sweetheart and fiancé, Alex Hopkins. The exes took to social media on Monday, Jan. 21 to share a joint statement regarding the end of their longtime relationship. "Over the last several years, you have been so supportive of us through all of our ups and downs, including personal struggles with health and family, and we couldn't be more grateful," Alaina, 24, and Hopkins, 23, wrote to her Instagram followers. "You share your lives with us, and we always want to be open with you in return. We want to let you know that we have decided to call off our engagement." Noting that they "still have love for each other," the former couple concluded that they "both feel it is the right decision" to go their separate ways.
