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 suffered a panic attack and was hospitalized because she felt overburdened balancing her work and family life, it is alleged.

Hugh Hefner’s 38-year-old ex-girlfriend, who shares two children with her ex Hank Baskett, is currently still in the hospital, according to TMZ.

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

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

One source claims 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 candid about her mental health struggles in the past, including a “severe depression” as a teenager that drove her to “a few” suicide attempts.

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

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

She, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt all became stars during their relationship with the Playboy founder and on the E! program.

Hank, a former soccer 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 plagued with drama early on, including the leak of Kendra’s sex tape in 2010, which she recorded at age 18 before her relationship with Hank.

“It’s hard for him because of course there’s another guy involved, and it’s hard for him because of our son and everything,” she confessed on reality TV.

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

Though they mended the fences after the cheating scandal, their relationship finally fell apart for good in 2018, resulting in a divorce that was finalized in 2018.

She praised Hank in her divorce announcement on Instagram on “the last day of my marriage to this beautiful man.”

This summer, Kendra revealed on the podcast On Display With Melissa Gorga that she entered 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 planned.

The loss of her marriage and the reality show “caused my depression at the same time,” Kendra candidly explained to Melissa.
