Former Playboy girl Kendra Wilkinson and her husband Hank Baskett are reportedly in marital counselling after rumors surfaced that Baskett cheated.

The former Girls Next Door reality star has been spotted without her wedding ring following rumours her other half Hank had an affair with a transgender model.

And although she previously laughed off the gossip, apparently the situation has become so tense the couple decided to seek professional help for their alleged marital problems.

“Yes, Kendra and Hank are in counselling,” a source told Us Weekly magazine.

It is claimed the pair, who are currently filming the third season of We tv programme Kendra on Top, have both worked with therapists before.

“Therapy is nothing new for them,” the insider said. “Both had been seeking help with their issues prior to the scandal: Hank because his father was dying and Kendra because she’s had postpartum [depression] in the past. So it only makes sense they’re in counselling now too. How much of it will be shown on the show is unclear at the moment.”
