Kendra Wilkinson has gone from ‘Girl Next Door,’ to wife and mom.

The 24-year-old Playmate, who gave birth to Hank Baskett Jr. in December, debuts the second season of her show ‘Kendra’ tonight, and talked to PopEater about being first-time parents with husband Hank Baskett and what the audience can expect to see this year.

“I’m excited, but I’m also nervous. It’s been the most real that we’ve ever shown — that we’ve ever filmed,” she tells us.

Wilkinson also discusses her struggle to get back into a bikini and body issues in Hollywood.

Are you excited for the second season?
I’m excited, but I’m also nervous. It’s been the most real that we’ve ever shown — that we’ve ever filmed. I’m part-producer and I have a choice, I have power to turn off the cameras or to turn on the cameras. I got a chance to tell them to turn on the cameras because this is something real, something that I want people to know about me, that I’m actually going through. I’m a normal human being just like everyone else and I go through problems. I just wanted the chance to capture those real moments. I invited some of my friends from California that are Playmates and that was just wrong timing because their bodies — they were so beautiful and I didn’t feel so beautiful then [because I just had a baby.] … I wanted the chance to capture my feelings from that.

After leaving behind her love life as Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend and her spot in the related reality series The Girls Next Door, Kendra Wilkinson was given a spin-off series on the same network, simply titled Kendra.

It’s from the same Executive Producer, Kevin Burns (who longtime TVShowsOnDVD readers may recall was involved with some behind-the-scenes DVDs about classic shows such as The Munsters and Lost in Space). In the new program, Kendra sees her old Girls-friends Bridget Marquardt (see her DVD news today!) and Holly Madison, not to mention Hefner as well, but the main focus is on her new romance with her intended husband, pro football wide receiver Hank Baskett.

Fox Home Entertainment has announced to retailers that Kendra – The Complete 1st Season will arrive on DVD January 5th, a 2-disc set featuring all 12 episodes from the debut year. Running time is 309 minutes, and bonus material includes Teasers for both the show and for the episodes, plus a Blooper Reel. Video is widescreen, audio is in English Stereo and subtitles are along for the ride in English, French and Spanish. Cost is $22.98 SRP in the USA and CA$26.98 SRP in Canada.
