London, Nov 2 (IANS) Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson has revealed that she and her former boyfriend Hugh Hefner are still best friends.

Wilkinson, who has a ten-month-old son with footballer Hank Baskett, says she’s excited to be near Hefner again after recently moving back to Los Angeles.

‘I can tell you that Hef is my closest friend. I’m not just saying that. He makes sure he writes to us every chance. He’s always thinking about us, and that’s a real friend,’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

‘I want Hef to see how my life is, it’s just great. I’m just excited to catch up on things. Hef is so happy to see us and we’re so excited to see him,’ he added.

Wilkinson insists that her former lover is equally concerned about her husband’s welfare and is constantly checking in with them.

She added: ‘Hef always says, ‘I’m thinking about you.’ He asks, ‘How are you guys doing? Are you doing OK?”
