Eagle Catches 'Girl Next Door' - Baskett to wed Kendra
Hank Baskett stepped onto the field on November 9, 2008 and caught 1 pass for 7 yards and a TD. However, a few days earlier he made what might be the best catch of his career: landing Playboy 'Girl Next Door' star Kendra Wilkinson as his fiance.
Kendra, 23, has been a star of the E! network's Playboy Girls Next Door television reality show, featuring three of Playboy's Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. Hef and Kendra ended their relationship (although the show is still currently airing new eposides) earlier this year, and Kendra started dating Baskett not too long after her and Hef's relationship ended.
Baskett proposed to Kendra in front of both his and her families, atop the Space Needle in Seattle.
The engagement took an interesting turn when Hefner responded to the news via official statement, saying that he was happy that Kendra has found someone she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Hef also added that he'd be walking Kendra down the isle, giving her away at a special wedding ceremony at the Playboy mansion this upcoming July.

Most people know Kendra from her time on Girls Next Door, where she filled the role of the hot, yet studiously impaired member of the trio. Her love of sports was often shown throughout the show, including her participation in a celebrity flag football game (in which she scored a touchdown).
Baskett hasn't yet become an integral part of the Eagles offensive scheme, although to date he has recorded 20 receptions (on 27 targets) for 285 yards (14.3 ypr) and 3 touchdowns in 9 games this year.
