Washington
(ANI):
It
seems
things
are
quite
cordial
between
Hugh
Hefner
and
his
ex-girlfriend
Kendra
Wilkinson's
fiance
Hank
Baskett,
for
the
NFL
star
has
said
that
the
Playboy
mogul
is
'like
a
father'
to
him.
It
was
Hefner
who
disclosed
the
couple's
engagement
and
offered
to
host
their
wedding
reception
at
the
Playboy
mansion.
"Hef
is
like
a
father
to
her
so
he's
going
to
be
the
one
to
give
her
away.
That's
why
I
wanted
his
blessings
and
her
mom's
blessing," People
quoted
Baskett
as
telling
an
ABC
affiliate
in
Philadelphia.
The
Philadelphia
Eagles
player
was
all
praise
for
his
bride-to-be
and
called
her
the
most
compassionate
women.
He
said:
"Kendra
has
one
of
the
biggest
hearts
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
really
drew
me
to
her."
Talking
of
what
makes
their
relationship
work,
Baskett
said:
"Both
of
us
like
to
stay
home
and
wear
sweats
[more]
than
go
out
and
party.
Ever
since
I
met
her,
this
is
the
happiest
I've
ever
been
in
my
life.
And
every
day
she
does
something
else
that
makes
me
fall
in
love
with
her."
Baskett
and
'The
Girls
Next
Door'
star
are
set
to
tie
the
knot
at
the
Playboy
mansion
in
June
next
year.
