Kendra Wilkinson ‘hospitalized after suffering panic attack’: Hugh Hefner’s ex and former Playboy star ‘seeking medical help’ after becoming ‘overwhelmed balancing kids and family’

Kendra Wilkinson had a panic attack and was hospitalized due to feeling overburdened by juggling her work and family life, it has been claimed.

The 38-year-old ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, who shares two children with her ex Hank Baskett, is still in the hospital at present according to TMZ.

Although she rose to fame as a reality star on The Girl Next Door, which documented her life at the Playboy Mansion, she is currently working in real estate.

It has been alleged that Kendra spent a sleepless night on Tuesday, suffered a panic attack and voluntarily went to the hospital Wednesday.

A source has alleged that Kendra, in a state of distress, entered a Los Angeles era emergency room and began begging to see a doctor.

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for comment.

She has been forthright in the past about her struggles with mental health, including ‘severe depression’ as a teenager that drove her to ‘a couple’ suicide attempts.

Kendra shares two children, Hank Jr., 13, and Alijah, nine, with her ex-husband Hank Baskett, who is said to be at her side at the hospital. 

Early in her career, Kendra was a Playboy model who achieved greater heights of fame on the reality show The Girls Next Door about Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends. 

She, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt all became stars while dating the Playboy founder and featuring on the E! program. 

Hank, a former football player, tied the knot with Kendra at the Playboy Mansion in 2009 about two weeks after she announced she was pregnant with Hank Jr. 

The marriage was buffeted by drama early on, including the 2010 leak of Kendra’s sex tape, which she recorded at 18 before her relationship with Hank.

‘It’s hard on him because it involves another guy, of course, and it’s hard on him because of our son and everything,’ she confessed on reality TV. 

The couple then nearly split up in 2014, when it emerged Hank had cheated with a transgender model during Kendra’s second pregnancy. 

Although they mended fences after the cheating scandal, their relationship ultimately fell apart for good in 2018, resulting in a divorce finalized in 2018.

She showered praise on Hank in her Instagram divorce announcement on ‘the last day of my marriage to this beautiful man.’

This summer, on the podcast On Display With Melissa Gorga, Kendra revealed that she plunged into a dark emotional phase when her marriage collapsed.

Her divorce coincided with the end of her reality show Kendra On Top, at a time when she had no other series lined up. 

Losing her marriage and reality show at the same time ‘triggered my depression,’ Kendra candidly explained to Melissa.
