Kendra Wilkinson, the Playboy model turned reality television star, has received several phone calls and offers of support from ex-lover Hugh Hefner after it was revealed that her husband, Hank Baskett, cheated on her with a transsexual model.
"He told her to come to the Playboy Mansion any time," an insider
told Us Weekly in an exclusive report. "He's been supportive and hates that Kendra is going through this."

Wilkinson, 29, lived in the Playboy Mansion for years, co-starring in "The Girls Next Door" reality series and dating Hefner through 2008. After moving out of the mansion in 2009 — when she met and married Baskett — she snagged her own shows, "Kendra" and "Kendra on Top."
She and Baskett, a 31-year-old former NFL pro, had two children together, but it was rumored that he recently cheated on Wilkinson while she was eight months pregnant with their second child.
Wilkinson was reportedly convinced the rumors were true after seeing an "odd charge on his bank statement," according to Us Weekly.
She's "still in shock," according to one source close to the couple, and Hefner's overtures are likely to add to her strife. Unlike before, she now has two children, so a move back to the mansion seems unlikely.
Some say Hefner, now 88, was originally slated to be the one to give Wilkinson away at her and Baskett's wedding, which was held in the Playboy Mansion.
