Former “Girls Next Door” star Kendra Wilkinson is pregnant.

The reality star, 23, told E! News Tuesday that she and fiancé Hank Baskett would soon welcome their first child together.

“Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting,” she said. “We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans."

While rumors of the pregnancy have been swirling for some time now, Wilkinson kept quiet, saying only that she planned to have children “very soon.”

“We want to be young parents and be able to chase around our kids and run and coach our kids. So, very soon,” she said in an interview last month.

Baskett, 26, popped the question in Seattle last November and the couple have since been chronicling their wedding plans on Kendra’s self-titled reality show. The young stars plan to marry at the world-famous home of Wilkinson’s former beau, Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner.

Earlier this week, “Kendra” boasted the second highest-rated series debut for the E! network, with over 2.6 million viewers.
