Hef's Ex-Girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson Already Engaged

"Girls Next Door" star Kendra Wilkinson sure moved on quickly after breaking up with Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner. The sporty blonde has been rumored to be dating the Philadelphia Eagles’ Hank Baskett for a long time, and it appears the rumors are true, because the couple just got engaged.

According to E!Online, Wilkinson met Baskett in Seattle this past weekend atop the Space Needle where he popped the question in front of both their families.

"Ken-babe seemed completely shell-shocked at the revealed ring. H.B. even got down on one knee to pop the big q to the former Playmate," a source reportedly told E!News. "She said yes straight away and couldn't stop smiling."

While there is no official word from any of the couple's reps, friends close to the 23-year-old model confirmed the engagement. Upon finding out about the engagement news, Hefner released a statement congratulating the happy couple.

“Kendra Wilkinson has met someone who she would like to spend the rest of her life with. His name is Hank Baskett, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he popped the question last Saturday," the 82-year-old was quoted by Usmagazine.com as saying.. "I have given her my blessing and will be giving her away at a very special wedding ceremony at the Playboy Mansion this coming June.”

Wilkinson admitted she and Baskett were an item not too long ago, just after confirming she and Hefner had split up after a four-year relationship, but denied any engagement rumors that were flying around. "He’s a fine piece of a–," Wilkinson told Chelsea Handler last month about her new beau. "He’s hot."

Even though the two live on separate coasts, their long-distance relationship appears to be working out smoothly. Wilkinson recently revealed the couple keeps in touch via online video connector Skype, which according to her is "way better than phone sex."

The model, who moved out of the Playboy mansion late last month, said she wants Hefner to be "happy." "That's all I care about," she added. Twin 19-year-olds Karissa and Kristina Shannon are currently living with the octogenarian.

"I mean, Hef will always be Hef," Wilkinson told Usmagazine.com recently. "You can never change him. Hef will keep going on. He'll keep loving women, keep loving the big boobs and blondes."

In the meantime, Hefner's "number one" ex-girlfriend Holly Madison, who put an end to her relationship with Hefner once she realized she would never marry him or have his children, recently stepped up with her own new man, illusionist Criss Angel. The pair locked lips on the red carpet and held hands at the premiere of "Criss Angel Believe by Cirque Du Soleil" on Halloween night in Las Vegas.
