Earlier today, I told you how Holly Madison is feeling about ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner's freshly-minted engagement to Crystal Harris.

Now, it's time to hear from another former Girls Next Door girlfriend. Read on to find out what Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett says about the 84-year-old Playboy mogul marrying 24-year-old Crystal…

"I'm not surprised," the E! reality star (the season three finale of Kendra airs this Sunday) told me at Comcast Entertainment Group's TCA reception last night at The Langham Hotel in Pasadena.

Oh, really?

Kendra says she suspected something was up with Hef finally finalized his divorce from second wife Kimberley Conrad about a year ago.

"And then I heard how much he loves Crystal and how he looks at her," Kendra said. "You can just tell there's a whole other meaning of love in him. I feel like she's the girl for him."

Why's that? "She's very simple," Kendra said. "I like her, and I think she's great."

Meanwhile, Kendra and her football hubby Hank are on the prowl to buy a house in the L.A. area. "We're not condo people," Hank told me. "We have to have a yard, but were not mansion people. We just want a home for our family. It's not about the house. It's about the people in it. And we want somewhere we can grow."

Grow as in having more kids, that is. Both said they're hoping to give their baby son Hank IV a little brother. "We want another boy," Kendra said.

"We're practicing," Hank said. "We may start this fall so we'll have a spring or summer baby next year—if not sooner."
