Former Playboy playmate Kendra Wilkinson went to an LA hospital Wednesday after suffering a panic attack, Page Six can confirm.

Her rep tells us Wednesday the Girls Next Door star took herself to the emergency room, but was not checked in.

“She is going home shortly,” the spokesperson said.

Wilkinson allegedly felt overwhelmed due to the stresses of being a single mum of two kids and her real estate career.

Her rep also said that she is still currently at the hospital with ex-husband Hank Baskett by her side.

The former couple’s divorce was finalised in February 2019.

Their nine-year marriage was marred by a scandal in 2014 after Baskett, 41, was accused of cheating on Wilkinson with a transgender model while his Playmate wife was eight months pregnant with their second child.

“It’s good enough and if later down the line things happen, then they happen. I will always love him and I loved him once. Love doesn’t just go away.”

Following the end of her marriage, Wilkinson tried to create a new career path for herself.
