Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives this week, starting with one of Hollywood's most scandal-plagued couples: On March 27, People magazine reported that Kendra Wilkinson and her husband of nearly a decade, Hank Baskett, are headed for a breakup. "They've been having a really tough time especially over the last three to six months," a source close to the mother of two told the outlet of the couple, who've reportedly stopped wearing their wedding rings. "She's always been someone who wanted to be fully committed, married forever, and was definitely an 'I'll never get a divorce' kind of girl, but she really lost trust in her marriage and she's realized there's no turning back," continued the source, who added that Kendra "is just not happy" and "hasn't been able to trust" Hank, with whom she bickers "all the time." The duo, who previously weathered a cheating scandal, reportedly grew apart while the former "Girl Next Door" star was away from their California home working on a live show in Las Vegas. "They've grown further and further apart especially while she was in Vegas. He would come to visit her and she went back home about once a week, but it was really hard on them," said People's source. "They're still talking, but it's mostly for the kids. It's really important to both of them that they don't traumatize the kids," continued the insider. "They're going to try their best to have a graceful separation." An E! source echoed that the "Kendra on Top" stars have been "having many arguments lately" and "haven't been able to compromise on their disagreements." Said the E! insider, "Kendra and Hank have been having problems for years, but things have been at an all-time low recently. Kendra wants out of the marriage and is planning to file for divorce soon." Now keep reading for more of the week's biggest celeb love life updates…

"Entertainment Tonight" reported on March 26 that Angelina Jolie has started dating: A source told the outlet that although "it's not serious," the actress-director is "seeing" someone.

Continued the source, "Angie was in a very bad place after [her] split [from Brad Pitt] … Just having another adult to spend time with has been helpful." But according to a March 28 report from E!, that's simply not the case. "She's not dating," a source told E!. "She's very focused on her kids and doesn't have a lot going on outside of that. She has had a few business meetings with men, but they were not dates." As for Angelina's relationship with her estranged husband, "People talk about them reuniting, but it will never happen," said the "ET" source. "Things between Brad and Angie really ended poorly, and while they've attempted therapy with [their] children, they can barely be in the same room together."

"When he's away, she gets to do her own thing and take a breather, but she also has someone to give her love and affection when she wants it.

Continued Kristen Bell's husband, "Then from my point of view, that door was shut. It was like a dead-bolt door." Anna responded by complimenting Dax: "Can I be obnoxious? You have always been a very handsome man. You are just one of those guys that gets more handsome as they age, and it's not just the Red Bull talking," she said. The duo then addressed the topic of marriage, which the twice-married "Mom" star said she no longer believes in: "I need to figure out what the purpose is," she said of tying the knot. "Is it safety for your children? Is it convention? Is it so other people respect your relationship more? … For me, I'm just not quite sure where it fits." Added the actress, "I am a romantic. I believe in a partnership, I believe in companionship. I just don't know if I believe in a ceremony of a wedding."
